The 10 Best Horror Final Girls of All-Time, Ranked

Horror is special in the fact that it’s way more female-centric than most other genres. Whether it’s hardcore slashers like The Texas Chain Saw Massacre(1974)or psychological terrors like The Babadook (2014), or It Follows (2015), there are an endless number of woman-led stories that have stood the test of time. In the same breath, one of horror fans’ favorite phrases of the last half century has been “Final Girl”. This is usually the lead character of a scary story, oftentimes female, who everyone roots for. Despite all the odds against her, she ends up surviving to tell her story.
