1. JASON VOORHEES - Friday the 13th

 i’ve been accused of being Pamela kin because of how much I love this boy. (I mean, I also cosplay and rp Pam too, so that could be why, but anyways.) He just really pulls at my heartstrings. The first Jason movie I ever actually saw was Freddy vs Jason and out of any of the movies that really shows like how. fucking tragic his death is (although it was a bit of a change from earlier canon, where Jason went out on his own rather than being chased by bullies.)

Jason Voorhees has done nothing wrong in his life, ever. He’s just trying to avenge his mom and make sure the same thing doesn’t happen to some other kid. Also I’ve almost drowned once because the lifeguard either wasn’t paying attention or couldn’t actually recognize the signs of drowning SO THAT’S KIND OF RELATEABLE TOO. He’s just. not scary to me, I just want him to know his momma’s proud of him. And that he’s handsome and has a nice ass and cheekbones.

2. PAMELA VOORHEES - Friday the 13th

If the previous couple of paragraphs didn’t make it clear enough, I’m pretty damn obsessed with Pam. She was assaulted at age 15, gave birth to a disabled child at age 16, probably kicked out of her home at the time because it was the fuckin 40′s and people treated unwed teenage mothers like SHIT, and raised her baby by herself, killed her abusive husband, suffers through mental illness alone and untreated and then, NOT MUCH OLDER THAN I AM, her son disappears at a lake when people you trusted were supposed to be watching him. His body is never recovered. Your whole fucking world is gone and nobody will do anything to help you because of how he looked. 

I would absolutely do the same thing in her shoes (which….probably says a little something about me, but that’s beside the point.) She just wanted to stop them from opening the fucking camp so another mother doesn’t have to endure knowing that their baby is at the bottom of the lake. 

I never knew that the original killer of the Friday franchise wasn’t Jason–so when I first played it I was absolutely fucking ecstatic that slasher that started off this franchise, and inspired so many other movies, was a woman, and a mother, just trying to find justice and peace. I never thought I’d live long enough to grow old, but now I’m highkey looking forward to my 50′s when I can pull off her cosplay much more accurately. 

3. BUBBA SAWYER - Texas Chainsaw Massacre 

hhhh big man handsome. He’s so fucking sweet tho??? He does what he does because if he doesn’t, Drayton’s gonna yell at him and hit him and things get worse. He’s scared. HE FLINCHES WHEN SALLY FUCKING YELLS AT HIM. He’s a baby??? A horny baby. TCM 2 is my favorite horror movie. He has amazing body language and the sounds he makes are fantastic. And as a seamster I just am fucking all over in love with the set design and costume design in the TCM movies, and I just think it’s great that he makes his own damn masks and has a room full of bones because fuck man, me too??? (I mean I only have a bucket full of bones that are supposed to be whitening atm but. I wish to make more things out of bones in the future.)

4. SADIE CUNNINGHAM & MCKAYLA HOOPER - Tragedy Girls

I feel like it’d be cheating to put them separately, but Tragedy Girls is also legit one of my favorite horror movies. Also? Big Bi Energy. I like that they’re like, highkey prep goth. FUcking. teenage girls, capturing a slasher and planning their own murder sprees??? I’m probably going to get weird looks for this, but they’re the exact kind of friendship that I wished I had when I was a kid. That sort of impenetrable bond is like, dare I say, OTP. I wish I had this movie when I was younger. They’re killer queens, Heathers eat your FUCKING hearts out. 

5. MOTHERFACE- Dude Bro Party Massacre III

I know she’s like, a joke slasher, but she’s honestly so great. Like, this movie is probably the funniest fucking movie I’ve ever seen and I want all of you to watch it immediately (preferably with friends), so I don’t want to spoil too much, but I’ve seen a lot of people want a vigilante slasher who goes after shitty men AND HELLO, THAT IS HER, MOTHERFACE. Her design is both grotesque and sexy in a way that I don’t hate, I think it’s fantastic. I relate to her because I too, am full of shitty one-liners and eventually run out of steam thinking of them.

6. TIFFANY VALENTINE - Bride of Chucky

i want her to marry me
