Top 10 Final Girls
February is Women in Horror month. In honor of such, we here at The Grave Plot have assembled a list of our top 10 “final girls.” They are as follows;
- Erin Hanson (You’re Next)
- Tina Shepard (Friday the 13th part VII)
- Kirsty Cotton (Hellraiser & Hellraiser II)
- Nancy Thompson (A Nightmare on Elm Street)
- Laurie Strode (Halloween)
- Sally Hardesty (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre)
- Ellen Ripley (Alien)
- Barbara (Night of the Living Dead – 1990 remake)
- Alice (Resident Evil)
- Taylor Gentry (Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon)
Honorable mention goes to Amanda Young (Saw).

Surprised Sidney Prescott didn't make the cut (no pun intended).
Looking good, might have had Ellen Ripley higher up in my list and it's good to see Patrica Tallman getting a thumbs up for the 1990's Night of the Living Dead. Might have found a place for Shauna from The Descent, but it gives a god idea of the strength of female characters in films.
