Asia Argento


You should see her in: Land of the Dead, Love Bites

Why we have a fatal attraction: Being the daughter of Italian horror director Dario Argento may have added high expectations to Asia's early acting career, but critics were silenced quickly when they realized that talent and a taste for blood runs deep in this family. She's established herself as a writer-director in her own right and is not content to take on roles normally written for female victims in horror. In George A. Romero's Land of the Dead she plays a prostitute saved from flesh-eating zombies which results in her covered in blood, yet she is still oddly alluring awash in glistening red.

Bijou Phillips


You should see her in: Hostel: Part II, The Wizard of Gore

Why we have a fatal attraction: No one does torture porn like Eli Roth, and in his follow-up to Hostel he puts the ladies in peril with -- no surprise -- gut-wrenching results, along with a healthy dose of female full-frontal. Bijou pleading and squealing is almost too appealing as she is strapped to a chair then teased relentlessly with a circular saw. She almost escapes with a carved-up face...but then she dies. Sorry, fellas. Look for her appearance in The Wizard of Gore where -- oh, wait! -- bad things happen there, too.

Quotable: "Come on, Borat, let's see what ya got." -- Hostel: Part II (2007)

Jaimie Alexander


You should see her in: Hallowed Ground, Rest Stop

Why we have a fatal attraction: Jaimie plays the tougher half of a couple targeted for death by a vicious serial killer in Rest Stop. She's not content to play the victim, as her skills with tire irons, Molotov cocktails and guns prove she's not going down without a fight. Her buff physique proves to be both alluring and a dangerous weapon: The dirtier Jaimie gets, the dirtier our thoughts about her become.

Quotable: "You're not scaring me." -- Rest Stop (2006)

Misty Mundae


You should see her in: Satan's School for Sluts, Splatter Beach

Why we have a fatal attraction: Misty Mundae (a.k.a. Erin Brown) is the reigning queen of low-budget, direct-to-DVD horror and exploitation. The titles are often better than the films themselves -- consider bottom-shelfers like An Erotic Werewolf in London, Bikini Girls on Dinosaur Planet, The Lord of the G-Strings: The Femaleship of the String, The Sexy Adventures of Van Helsing or Spiderbabe. Despite the cheap effects, the badly-shot video and the acting, Misty remains a rare beauty with a curvy body made even sexier with her baby fat intact. In fact, we hope she stays that way.

Quotable: "Aaaaahhhhhhh!" -- From every single film in which she's ever appeared
