  Kristen from The Strangers

  Sep 30, 202654 min

  Nothing - and we really mean NOTHING - good happens after 3am, so if you get a knock at your door around that time after a particularly rough night with your significant other, DO NOT OPEN IT. This week we’re covering Kristen from The Strangers (2008), a movie that feels different in 2026 because of the massive shift in the genre. It is always lauded as one of the scariest movies ever, so is Kristen’s Final Girl journey worthy of that praise? Listen now! And RIP to the Golden God himself.

  Morticia from The Addams Family (1991)

  Sep 23, 202659 min

  “I would kill for her! I would die for her! Either way, what bliss!” This week we’re taking it back to the 90s with Morticia from The Addams Family (1991). This movie is basically a live action cartoon, but we love it and we love her. It may be a bit of a stretch to call Morticia a Final Girl, but she is the matriarch of a family of outsiders - and in this episode we dive into her confident, unbothered journey when a con artist mother/son duo try to take the Addams’ for all they’re worth.

  Rocky from Don't Breathe

  Sep 16, 202654 min

  Rocky from Don’t Breathe (2016) fits all the definitions of a Final Girl, yet this movie is still deeply unpleasant and a very difficult watch. But she does have some great moments, and in this episode we cover all of them. We also dive into ladybug tattoos and the trope of Detroit as shorthand for urban blight, as well as how gross visuals are fun in Evil Dead ways but not in story lines that feature SA. Listen now!

  Trish from Jeepers Creepers

  Sep 9, 202652 min

  Which is scarier: The Creeper, or Justin Long’s early 2000s tribal rose tattoo? This week we’re covering a highly requested Final Girl, Trish from Jeepers Creepers (2001). Trish is road tripping it home from college with her kid brother, Derry, and his garbage bags of laundry when they encounter a creepy truck and its creepier driver. And instead of minding their business, Derry forces them to investigate, which sets off a chain of events that puts one of the coolest, scariest horror villains on their tails. Is Trish the ultimate Final Girl because of her boldness and bravery? ***CONTENT NOTE*** We understand that this may be an episode some listeners will want to skip because of the horrific crimes of the filmmaker. We completely understand and support you passing this week, if that’s you. We do not discuss him or his crimes in the episode ; we focus entirely on Trish’s journey. Like many podcasters who cover entertainment, we are always trying our best to ethically navigate an industry full of predatory male executives while still giving props to badass femme characters, as well as the hundreds of people involved in production who pour their hearts into the art form we all love. Check us out on Sean’s Horror Corner, covering all four of the Jeepers Creepers movies: Jeepers Creepers Jeepers Creepers 2 Jeepers Creepers 3 Jeepers Creepers Reborn Jeepers Creepers Franchise Review LIVE Join our Patreon!

  Natalie from Urban Legend

  Sep 2, 202658 min

  Natalie from Urban Legend (1998) hits all the Final Girl marks: she’s not believed when she figures out the killer’s pattern, she does Final Girl Research in a library, she has past trauma that is slowly uncovered, and she survives some brutal attacks from The Killer. She also navigates an environment with terrible sex advice and a roommate who constantly sexiles her, and we consider that final girl energy too. This movie is a solid, cozy entry in the suite of meta 90s teen slashers, and we especially love the stacked cast and want to take Robert Englund’s urban legends class very badly.
