I signed up for another panel at Arisia this coming weekend! I've updated my main post about Arisia 2025 to reflect the addition:
Final Girls: Then and Now

Coined by Professor Carol J. Clover in 1987, a final girl refers to the female character who survives to the end of a horror film, one who typically abstains from sex and drugs. However, since the creation of the term, there has been an evolution to final girl trope. From Laurie Strode in Halloween to Jeryline in Demon Knight to Maxine Minx in X, our panel will examine the differences between the final girls of the ‘70s to today.
Considering three of the four panels I'm doing for this year's Arisia heavily concern film, I've also added another to my link to my blog: my Letterboxd account! I adore movies and have been enthusiastic about reading movie reviews since I was kid stealing sections of the newspaper and magazines from my parents to do just that. This year, I want to spend more time chronicling my thoughts on films, whether said reaction is serious or silly. Please enjoy!
