We all love horror movies and often imagine ourselves as the hero, but realistically, very few people possess the traits of a true ‘final girl.’ Most of us see ourselves as a bit of everything except that incredibly capable survivor. While we all have strengths and weaknesses, when a horror movie villain appears, those differences become unimportant. Ultimately, it comes down to one question: could you survive?
You’ll find the same types of characters in almost every horror movie. No one type is inherently better than another (with one exception). Some characters are natural protectors, while others will prioritize their own survival, even if it means abandoning others to face the threat – whether it’s a clown, a knife, a chainsaw, or something even more terrifying. Are you The Skeptic, The Survivor, The Caretaker, The Wild Card, The Comic Relief, The Villain, or The Final Girl?

The Skeptic
It’s hard to believe some stories, no matter how many people tell them. Tales of huge monsters or dangerous attacks just seem far-fetched, and you’re not buying into the panic. You think spreading these rumors could hurt the community and scare away visitors, so you’re determined to speak up. Yes, people are vanishing quickly, but unless you witness something yourself, you need solid proof before you believe it.
It’s funny how often the people who dismiss horror movies end up being the most annoying characters—right up there with the villain! Think of someone like Mayor Vaughn in Jaws. But there’s a silver lining: you’ve got about a 50/50 chance of making it through. Either you stay safely away because you don’t believe in the threat, or you get too close trying to prove everyone wrong.
The Survivor
Let’s be real, I’m probably not the hero of this story. But I’m still here, and that’s what matters! I’ll do whatever it takes to survive – maybe I help the main character, fight as long as I can, or just run like crazy when things get scary. Honestly, staying alive is my top priority, and I don’t feel bad about it at all. I’m a survivor, plain and simple.
Let’s be real: facing this kind of situation usually ends badly. You’ll likely be deeply traumatized, constantly on edge and fearful, or you might just manage to escape by the skin of your teeth. But even getting out alive doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll be okay – think about how Wallace Bryton ‘survived’ in the movie Tusk. It’s a harsh truth, but surviving and truly living aren’t always the same thing.
The Caretaker
Few roles are more admirable than that of the caretaker. Driven by a need to protect, you’ll go to great lengths to shield others from danger. Though your efforts often don’t end well, and it usually takes a while before you finally meet your end, even across several films.
You’ll consistently risk your own safety to protect others, even facing extreme danger. While your time in the horror world might be short, your selfless courage will be remembered fondly, and you’ll likely become a popular character quickly.
Being a caretaker doesn’t guarantee competence, as demonstrated repeatedly in horror films. For example, Dr. Loomis inadvertently caused a teenager’s death in Halloween II, and Dick Hallorann traveled a great distance in The Shining only to be quickly killed. These characters prove that the job title doesn’t equal effectiveness – or survival!
Life doesn’t always go as planned, but you’ve been a vital support, and we truly appreciate everything you’ve done for us.
The Wild Card
I’ve always believed in keeping people guessing, and honestly, I thrive on the mystery. Some might say I’m unpredictable, and that’s fair! I know exactly where I stand, even if others are left wondering if I’m on their side. To me, it’s all a game, and everyone else is just a player. I enjoy keeping both sides a little uneasy, and I prefer to show my true colors only when the pressure is really on – when they’re at their most vulnerable. It’s just more… satisfying that way.
You’ll often find yourself walking a fine line between doing what’s right and wrong, managing to stay on the side of ‘good’ enough to avoid being seen as the bad guy. But sometimes you’ll truly act like a villain or a terrible person, only to have a redemption arc later on, similar to characters like Carter Horton in Final Destination.
You prefer to keep people distant, and you’re comfortable with that. However, consistently following the rules and avoiding connection often doesn’t help you succeed or get through difficult situations.
The Comic Relief
It feels like people rarely let themselves have fun. Even when things are really tough, like during difficult or tragic times, it’s important to find some humor. Sometimes you’re naturally funny, and other times you use humor as a way to cope with feeling anxious or scared.
Historically, comedians and entertainers were often the first to suffer during difficult times. But recently, we’ve seen a shift – the person who brings humor to a group is sometimes able to avoid hardship, whether by design or simply by luck.
How much you’re personally caught up in a stressful situation often determines your fate. Characters who stay informed but remain distant tend to survive. However, if you’re the type to jump right in, offering jokes and lightheartedness even in danger – think Jimmy Mortimer from Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter or Hudson from Aliens – we’re afraid your chances aren’t looking good.
The Villain
You’ve reached a point where you feel an overwhelming urge to kill. This could be the result of a deeply traumatic experience, like a severe burn injury, or perhaps long-term psychological damage. Or, it might simply feel like an inherent part of who you are – a darkness within you.
No matter what’s happening, you need to focus and act decisively. The teenagers, local residents, and anyone else who wanders onto the property are causing trouble, and your hunting knife is what you’ll use to deal with them.
In horror movies, you’re usually not actually killed off for good – you often come back as the villain to haunt the people who wronged you. You don’t need to worry about feelings or morality; your only goal is to eliminate anyone who gets in your way, even if you don’t have a clear reason, like a character such as Patrick Bateman. From your perspective, you’re the one in the right.
The Final Girl
You have a natural drive to succeed. You’re smart, resourceful, and confident – sometimes overly so – but you consistently achieve your goals. However, your choices often have devastating consequences for others, and you repeatedly return to the place where you were once attacked, despite the danger.
People admire you, defend you, and even make sacrifices for your sake. And what do you do? You repay their faith by defeating the enemy in a fierce fight. You’re who everyone aspires to be, and the one person every bad guy wants to eliminate.
Iconic horror movies often rely on both terrifying killers and strong, resourceful heroines. Think about it: the Halloween series wouldn’t be the same without Laurie Strode, Scream loses its heart without Sidney Prescott, and A Nightmare on Elm Street suffered when Nancy Thompson was gone. These final girls are just as crucial to the success of these franchises as the masked villains.
Your choices shape the terrifying world around you, and your ability to narrowly avoid disaster is what makes you legendary.
