Women in Horror Recognition Month (WiHM) assists underrepresented female genre artists in gaining opportunities, exposure, and education through altruistic events, printed material, articles, interviews, and online support. WiHM seeks to expose and break down social constructs and miscommunication between female professionals while simultaneously educating the public about discrimination and how they can assist the female gender in reaching equality.

There aren't as many female directors in the genre as I'd like, but here are 6 to check out.
Mary Lambert - One of the only women to try and tackle Stephen King; she succeeded.
Mary Harron - The woman behind "American Psycho." When you see her, thank her for it.
The Soska Sisters - Brilliant. They're just brilliant.
Amy Holden Jones - Can you say "Slumber Party Massacre?"
Emily Hagins - This young spitfire wrote/directed her first horror feature at 14. She recently caused waves with her film "My Sucky Teen Romance," a proper paranormal romance.
Elisabeth Fies - Her film "Commune" won Best International Picture at Bram Stoker Festival.
