I hope you've enjoyed this list and feel free to contribute your own thoughts on the topic! Yes, Ellen Ripley is noticeably absent here, but I never saw the 'Alien' franchise as horror.... in the traditional sense. For my top sci-fi "Final Girls" list, she'll be right there at the top! Also, I must mention the original final girl: Lila Crane from 'Psycho'. Without her, there would be no list to begin with. Sweet nightmares, Creeps!
