I think it's a great message, though I think you are mislabeling a number of complex characters. Would you have them emulate the Kardashians. Young girls, like young boys, need role models. Horror can help here.
Food for thought: why are the ruthless and crazy killers in horror films usually cast as men. What does this say about misandry and society's perceptions of men? Let's write a paper on that.
