** ''[[The Incredibly Strange Creatures]]'' (<small>whew!</small>). The killer murders two couples during the course of the movie. However, in each case, his target was specifically the woman; the men were just in the wrong place at the wrong time. |

** ''[[Horror of Party Beach]]'' includes two male victims alongside its '''twenty-four''' girl deaths. And that figure doesn't take into account the film's Female Victim Montage. Adding to the misogyny count, many of those victims were holding a slumber party at the time. Cue "panty raid" jokes. |

** ''[[Horrors of Spider Island]]'', in which the entire victim pool is female. Except for one lecherous guy near the end. As the commentary said: "I wonder how this movie really feels about women." |

*** On the one hand, this is somewhat justified as the plot is a [[Closed Circle]] (a troupe of dancers survived a plane crash and ended up on a desert island; their manager, the only man around, got turned into the monster). On the other, it also spends a lot of time focusing on scantily-clad and/or (supposedly) naked women doing things like swimming, dancing, and fighting one another. And supposedly the original German version was more explicit. |
