S5 Ep 5: Horror Parody - The Final Girls
Update: 2025-01-04
Description
Welcome to Camp Bloodbath! 🌲🪓👧 Continuing with our horror parody theme, we're covering the 2015 comedy ‘The Final Girls’, directed by Todd Strauss-Schulson.
In this episode, we identify the recurring use of grief in horror, analyse the final girl trope and this film’s regrettable lack of engagement with Carol Clover’s original text, and debate to what extent the trope effectively challenges gender norms/binaries.
Petition for someone to actually make Camp Bloodbath?
The Coven: Louisa, Mila, Tyia and Zeba
Theme and ‘Witch of the Week’ Music by: Sebastian Pizzaro
*CONTENT WARNING*
Discussions of violence against women, the death of a parent, grief and a brief mention of rape
