The 9 Worst Moms In Movie History
#4 Piper Laurie in Carrie
So your mom skipped a few talks during those awkward teenage stages, choosing instead to slip educational pamphlets under your bedroom door -- big deal. After watching Margaret White's physically violent rants on the topic, even a Westboro Baptist mom looks liberal and cuddly.
#3 Ol' Mrs. Voorhees from Friday the 13th
Her crime is loving her child too much, and mass murder. (The latter of which is mainly why she made it so high on the list.) This camp cook's mental recipe book was shredded when Jason flopped at his self-issued swimming test in Crystal Lake. Now the only thing she cares to prepare is a mother's revenge: set on full boil.
#2 Faye Dunaway in Mommie Dearest
Proof that not all women were destined to be caretakers, this memoir-turned-film about Joan Crawford's alleged relationship with her adopted daughter takes place in an era where women -- especially those in the limelight -- were seen as more desirable if they had families. She's a savage, and she probably never made Christina "ants on a log," either. Bad mom, bad! (Bonus: Here's a link to the episode of "The Will" where Joan screws Christina and Christopher out of any inheritance. Boo-ya from the grave!)
#1 Hattie Dorsett in Sybil
Somebody, make Sybil a snack and read her a story, already.
Uhg. There aren't words. Quick, what's the number for 1-800-Flowers? I've got a bouquet to send.
