Femme Fatales – The Ultimate Tribute to Dangerous, Deadly, and Drop-Dead Gorgeous Women of Genre Cinema!

For fans of seductive screen sirens, badass heroines, and lethal ladies of horror, sci-fi, and fantasy, Femme Fatales was the go-to magazine that celebrated the most unforgettable women in genre film and television. Launched in 1992 by Frederick S. Clarke (the creator of Cinefantastique), this glossy, visually stunning publication paid homage to the vamps, vixens, warriors, and scream queens who defined cult cinema and television, from classic femme fatales of film noir to the modern-day action icons and horror heroines.

Packed with exclusive interviews, dazzling photo spreads, retrospectives, and behind-the-scenes features, Femme Fatales didn’t just highlight sex appeal—it showcased the power, presence, and cultural impact of these unforgettable women. Covering everything from B-movie cult favorites and exploitation films to Hollywood blockbusters, it became a fan-favorite for those who loved their cinema with a dose of beauty, danger, and attitude. Though it ceased publication in 2008, Femme Fatales remains a cherished time capsule of an era when genre queens ruled the screen—and always did it in style. A magazine as bold, beautiful, and badass as the women it celebrated.
