About this time last year, I created a post that featured some of my favorite "final girls". With Halloween right around the corner, I thought I'd repost it just like I did with my Top 10 Favorite Jason Voorhees kills.
Final Girl: The final girl is a horror film (particularly slasher film) trope that specifically refers to the last woman or
girl alive to confront the killer, ostensibly the one left to tell the story
(wikipedia).
Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) from "Halloween" (1978)
Ginny Field (Amy Steel) from "Friday the 13th Part 2" (1981)
Sally Hardesty (Marilyn Burns) from "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" (1974)
Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell) from
"Scream" (1996)
Ellen Ripley
(Sigourney Weaver) from "Alien" (1979)
Nancy
Thompson (Heather Langenkamp) from "A Nightmare on Elm Street"
(1984)
Kirsty Cotton (Ashley Laurence) from "Hellraiser" (1987)
Stretch
(Caroline Williams) from "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2" (1986)
I know I'm forgetting
several more, but these were the ones that I thought of off the top of my head.
I would add more, but it's getting late and I'm tired. I might make a second
list later, though.
Do you have a
favorite "final girl"?
