2. Wicked Witch of the West
Ten years ago the film Mean Girls graced the silver screen with its hilariously and unfortunately true look at how girls treat each other in high school.
The film became an instant cult classic hit among people of all ages for its over-the-top acting and script and this is where actresses Amanda Seyfried and Rachel McAdams really got their big start to acting.
Over the years some of the best villains have been mean, bad girls. Some of them are mean in almost a rock star type of way however, some are just plain mean down to their core with no redeeming qualities whatsoever.
Regina George and the plastics from Mean Girls are examples of real life female villains that people encounter on a daily basis however, they fit right in on a list of villains that would fit more in a fantasy genre such as witches. In honor of ten years of Mean Girls here is a list of some of the top female villains in media.

9. Harley Quinn
Although Harley Quinn is rather loved by many, she is no doubt a bad girl. First of all, the love of her life is The Joker, who is one of the most evil and sadistic male villains of all time. Although she was a psychiatrist, she is herself a psycho. Her main goal in life is to help The Joker torture and hurt Batman and everyone she comes across she is rather the deadly nuisance. Her best friend is the villainess Poison Ivy which also says a lot for who she chooses to consider ‘friend.’ In the video games, Harley Quinn is given even more of an evil side and is portrayed as the queen evil bee of Gotham.

8. The White Witch
One of the meanest and magical females in any story has to be Jadis, the White Witch from The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. She managed to overthrow the whole land of Narnia and caused an everlasting cold winter to plague the lands.
She is also set on killing the four Pevensie children and is also responsible for torturing the faun Mr. Tumnus and killing the lord of Narnia, Aslan.
All together her cold face and ice stare only add to the evil woman that she is and definitely is deserving of a spot on this list.

7. Jessica Lange characters in American Horror Story
It doesn’t matter what season of American Horror Story she is in because in every season so far popular actress, Jessica Lange, has played an evil woman. In the first season, Murder House/i>, Lange played the Harmon’s next door neighbor named Constance, who was a self important and often neglectful mother. In the second season of the show Asylum, Lange plays her most vicious character yet, as the evil nun Sister Jude. Not only is Sister Jude obsessed with punishment and order she has had a sinful past of alcoholism and lustful tendencies, making her quite the hypocrite. Although Sister Jude eventually redeems herself towards the end of the season, she was still horrible throughout most of the episodes. In the most recent season, Coven, Lange played the hateful witch supreme Fiona Goode. Playing a neglectful mother as well in this season, Goode did whatever it took to remain the coven supreme even if that meant killing other witches in her coven so that she could keep her title. She even tries to make a deal with a Voodoo king to retain her youth and powers however at the end succumbs to her own death and lives in an eternal hell.

6. Lucille Bluth
Although not necessarily evil, Lucille Bluth from the comedic show, Arrested Development embodies one of those mothers you love to hate. Not only is she probably the most neglectful and hateful mother to her four children, but she also is always in it for herself. Not only is her relationship with her children dysfunctional but so is her disloyal relationship with her husband, George Bluth. Lucille’s one liners and taglines never fail to get a laugh and her alcoholic and carefree personality make her one of the funniest yet most evil characters on television.

5. Miranda Priestly
From the 2006 film, The Devil Wears Prada, evil came in a very fashionable outfit in the character of Miranda Priestly. Played by the acting genius, Meryl Streep, Priestly has become one of the most notorious mean girls in all of film. As the editor-in-chief of a high-end fashion magazine called “Runway,” Priestly tortures her staff and assistants by verbally abusing them about their fashion style, work ethic and lifestyles. All together she makes sure that people mentally suffer whenever they are around her. She has that silent evilness to her, even with her soft voice and calm demeanor, judgment and scorn ooze through her pores. Although she never gets what’s coming to her at the end, the audience is still able to finally see her sensitive side in some scenes, showing she still has some humanity left.
[new page=Annie Wilkes]
4. Annie Wilkes
In the film Misery based on Stephen King’s horror novel, Kathy Bates, plays a deranged and obsessed woman named, Annie Wilkes. At first she seems to be just a kind woman who is in love with novelist Paul Sheldon’s (James Caan) fictional “Misery” book series. However, one comes to find out that she actually planned on Sheldon getting in a car crash so she could take him back to her home and nurse him back to health and keep him captive in her home. She not only becomes violently enraged when she doesn’t get her way when it comes to the “Misery” series but she resorts to setting Sheldon’s manuscript on fire as well as breaking his legs to get him to stay trapped in her home. Watching the film is somewhat hard to stomach as Bates puts on such a memorable and convincing performance of a psychotic woman.

3. Dolores Umbridge
One of the most nastiest characters that ever arose out of the Harry Potter series was the evil and pink Dolores Umbridge. Working in the corrupted side of the Ministry of Magic and then moving on to become the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix Umbridge took great delight in torturing her students with a ridged and strict teaching style. If anyone gets out of line around Umbridge she tortures them verbally and even worse, physically. Umbridge, although she dresses in all pink and loves cats, is really dark to the core and the soul. Umbridge is arguably even more evil and maniacal than villainess Bellatrix Lestrange in the Potter series.

2. Wicked Witch of the West
One of the first bad girls of cinema was the famous Wicked Witch of the West from The Wizard of Oz.

She does whatever it takes to stop the group including sleeping spells, vicious flying monkeys and flaming fire balls. The color of her skin says it all, the Wicked Witch is green with envy and has always been one of the most iconic female villains.
