Not In My Movie

It’s Final Girl Barbie! Help Barbie make it out alive! She runs, she screams, she gets unbelievably traumatized! Comes with her very own weapon to use against the killer! Blood not included. Additional weapons separately.

There's final girls everywhere, aren't there? I used to think they were the rarest breed, the finest vintage. But everyone who's got something to fight for, they'll fight for it, never mind if it's a fight they should win. Should doesn't always matter. What does is that you run screaming into this thing, and don't stop until it's over.

—Stephen Graham Jones, from The Angel of Indian Lake (Simon & Schuster, 2024)
