The final girl trope has long pitted women against murderers--but it’s time to pit these women against each other. Welcome to Jezebel's Final Girl Face-Off.
In horror, the final girl trope is as tried and true as a dilapidated home or a horny couple who’s just minutes away from meeting their doom. She is the one left standing at the end of the film—the prototypical slasher hero in the once-unlikely form of a young, female character. Only, she’s so much more than any image—especially when portrayed by the likes of Jamie Lee Curtis, Neve Campbell, and yeah, Brandy Norwood.
Even if she eventually meets her end, she’s one of Freddy Krueger’s most formidable opponents to date. Tara Carpenter Number of movies survived: Two Number of movies not survived: None…so far Pros: She’s the only character to survive an opening-sequence brush with Ghostface. She’s a real connoisseur of horror, especially “elevated” horror—“Ask me about It Follows, ask me about Hereditary, ask me about The Witch,” she implores during her first chat with Ghostface. Can shoot, stab, and punch.
