Amanda Kohlhofer was the final girl of this Halloween season and she not only survived but thrived when it came to talking about the subject at hand. Now it’s time to close out this tale with more than a handful of other final girls who have warmed the hearts of moviegoers over the years. Some you may recognize, and some are a little off the wall.
Sidney Prescott, Scream
It took until recently for me to finally sit down and watch what all the hype was about, but you know what? It definitely lived up to it, and I walked away understanding why people praise Sidney Prescott in this series.
Grace Le Domas, Ready or Not
Truly one of the most fun watches you’ll have. If you’ve never seen this movie, please check out how freaking amazing Samara Weaving is in it.
Emerald Haywood, Nope
Like we discussed when we crushed on Black folks in horror, Black people know how to add a layer of comedy to horror with great finesse and Keke Palmer did just that in ‘Nope.’
Laurie Strode, Halloween Ends
I’ve only seen the more recent ones, and I gotta say – much respect to a woman who has yet to just give up and accept defeat.
Buffy Summers, Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Okay, so perhaps this ‘90s Blockbuster night leans more comedy than horror – by a lot – but Buffy does battle vampires so…
Naru, Prey
A fresh-as-hell take on a longstanding franchise with a very badass lead.
Max Cartwright, The Final Girls
Such a cute and fun homage to not only the concept of final girls but also a heartwarming story between a mother and daughter.
Evelyn Abbot, A Quiet Place
When she stepped on that nail…gave birth in silence…Yeah, ain’t no one fucking with Evelyn.
Karla Wilson, I Still Know What You Did Last Summer
You can read more about Karla and why she’s amazing right here.
Kat Harvey, Casper
Just because it’s a movie for children doesn’t mean it doesn’t fit the brief! Kat was out there living with ghosts, dealing with a dad who was dead one second and alive the next. It was a lot and she came through in the end.
