This is a response to 5 Badass Female Characters You'd Be Proud To Take Home To Mom

The horror genre has many archetypes: The jock, the nerd, the stoner, and most importantly, the final girl. The final girl is the one who makes it out alive and takes on the big bad, whether it be a chainsaw-wielding maniac or a supernatural force. She is the one who can make or break the movie she's in. We have had some bad final girls, some good ones, and some amazing ones. In honor of the slasher resurgence that we have had in the past few years, here are some of my favorites. Fair warning that there are spoilers ahead.
