Artist Keith Rein has added some more celebrity femme fatales to his grindhouse style series of portraits entitled Slaughterhouse Starlets.

The celebs who were lucky enough to get the Keith Rein slaughterhouse treatment this time around include some high profile and lesser known starlets: Beyonce, Natalie Portman, Sofia Vergara, Felicia Day, Allison Brie, Aubrey Plaza and Tina Fey. If these gorgeous ladies looks don't kill you then the deadly weapons—that Mr. Rein has seen fit to provide them with— certainly will.

Whether it's Alison Brie with a bowling ball, Beyonce with her katana or Aubrey Plaza with her spiked heels these ladies are well equipped to take care of themselves no matter what the situation. I'd like to see a paparazzi try to take of photo of them now.
