In this 60 Nights of Fright spotlight, I'm putting the focus on some of the ladies of horror, primarily Laurie Strode.. From Halloween(1978) to Halloween Ends(2022), Laurie's journey mirrors the evolution of The Final Girl from innocence to empowerment, from fear to fury.


In this episode of JayMovieTalk:

*Laurie Strode's transformation across 5 decades of horror

*The Evolution of the final Girl, from Laurie to Sidney Prescott to modern icons like Grace(Ready or Not)

*How trauma, survival, and strength became horror s new core themes.
