Plot: As Wes Craven and Kevin Williamson taught us ever so brilliantly in the Scream franchise, there is a basic formula in slasher horror: the person who ends up outsmarting the killer at the end is the studious young woman who (typically) avoids the "sin factor." There is a name for this brave heroine: the "Final Girl." Setting aside the social commentary, we cannot help but to be excited for our strong-willed Final Girl and nervously keep our fingers crossed that she can survive the night. In this episode, we take a deeper look at five of the best "Final Girls" in slasher horror, and why we love them so much.
