The Final Girl Theory

→ The final girl theory is based on the last female character in a horror film

→ The theory was based / created by Carol J Clover

→ The girl is either typically sexually unavailable / not attractive

→ She can either have a girls or boys name

→ She seems to know about 'the killer' in the film

→ She might end up becoming the killer using weapons and knifes

→ She says that the killer is mostly a male character
     Example: Norman Bates in Physco

→ For horror films to be successful they they say that the surviving character 
     should be a female, as she must experience horror
