* DisposableWoman: All of Ray and Albert's victims. Their main purpose in the plot is to be killed to provide the central mystery and motivate the male characters to solve the murders. The film does treat them as sympathetic and emphasizes how terrifying and horrific their deaths must've been, but they're still more important to the plot dead than alive.
