FINAL GIRL COUNTDOWN: #6 - Julie James (I Know What You Did Last Summer)

Julie represents something unique in #FinalGirl history - a survivor who actually earned her stripes TWICE.

FINAL GIRL COUNTDOWN: #7 - Nancy Thompson (A Nightmare on Elm Street)

FINAL GIRL COUNTDOWN: #8 - Erin (You're Next)

The 2002 Horror/Suspense film - feardotcom - was ahead of it's time in a lot of ways, despite bombing at the box office. Stylistically, the movie was there. I can't help but wonder how much was left on the cutting room floor.

I explore this, and so much more both on the podcast & YouTube.
