Horrorspiria - A podcast by Horrorspiria
Categories:
May and special guest, Gabi, discuss the Final Girl trope, a term coined by horror theorist Carol Clover in 1992. The trope involves the final female character in a film left to her own devices to confront the (usually male) killer, especially against the backdrop of her own trauma. Both of them chose two different films to examine in closer detail about how the Final Girl manifests and the codes in its messaging. In this episode, May and Gabi discuss these aspects as well as Black Christmas, Ginger Snaps, The Descent, and Cabin in the Woods.
