What about Demi Moore for just being her plastic self?

I'd have to throw in the mother from the Manchurian Candidates movies. Janet Leigh and Meryl Streep in the remake, both terrifying as hell.

Deke - 2009-04-23 11:46:17

Wasn't Angela Lansbury the mother from hell in the original?

Fabianna - 2009-04-24 13:33:48

I wonder where is Martha from "Who's afraid of Virginia Woolf?".

I reamember watching Bette Davis in"Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?" on TV in the 60's and she totally creeped me out as a kid. I never seen her in any other movies without remember that role.

How about lady Kaede from Kurosawa's "Ran"? ... the scariest bitch of all.

mickjai - 2009-04-26 20:27:13

Brilliant array of truly terrifying women. They all scared me to death!

Bella Swan from Twilight should be in this list. Note the scene in the hospital, when she didn't want Edward to leave. If you read the books, you'd understand what i mean. :D h

"you're a vile, sorry little bitch" is from "hush hush sweet charlotte" same actress - same freak factor - different movie :) if you haven't heard the rock n roll song "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane" - it's really something. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIkwjXY7Nvw erin

In "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" it's Nurse Ratchett, not Nurse Ratched. Strongly recommend reading the book; it's even more awesome than the movie.

[Editor's Note: It's definitely Nurse Ratched, I just looked at my copy of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest . . .]

Javier - 2009-04-27 19:12:12

I think Jennifer Jason Leigh in "Single White Female" trumps Rebecca De Mornay in psychoness!

Elsie - 2009-04-28 13:38:37

no 3 is not Annie Wilkes I think it's Kathy Bates or am I wrong

N. - 2009-04-29 16:37:12

You forgot my wife. She only exists in my movie. Damn.

Soap Magic - 2009-05-02 14:44:02

I would have added the woman from Inside.

Roary Calhoon - 2009-06-10 17:51:45

What about every woman in the kill bill series?

Alan - 2009-06-26 15:25:44

What about "Serial Mom"? One of the funniest but weirdest "wholesome mom" movies ever.

dradenleomine4 - 2009-06-29 13:40:57

Has nobody thought of Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton) from Terminator 2: Judgment Day? Total psycho bitch.

john - 2009-07-20 19:24:36

there is nothing alternative about this website

Sam - 2009-07-30 12:05:18

What about the mom in Carrie????????????

Vespasian - 2009-08-12 01:17:11

Typo, Joan Crawford was never in Mommie Dearest, she was however played by Faye Dunaway in that movie. So, just to clear it up, Faye Dunaway as Joan Crawford in Mommie Dearest.

Elaine - 2009-09-22 20:50:13

I'm sorry Fabianna? Are you so fucking stupid that you don't know that "Martha" was Elizabeth Taylor? And she was not scary like Baby Jane was scary, Martha was just unhappy and a drunk.
