Whence the final girl? Some say it all started with Psycho. Others point to Texas Chainsaw Massacre. However it started, the final girl has had a strong presence in horror cinema for decades, and has branched out into other genres, through cross-pollinated films like Alien, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and Silence of the Lambs. The final girl is easy to identify. Tormented by killers, stripped of agency, she’s forced to watch friends die until she finds the strength to fight back. Either through endurance or sheer bloody-mindedness (often quite literally), she’s the last one standing.
In honour of Halloween, we’re forcing the most famous final girls to battle it out. Who will be the final… final girl?
