Beyond The Final Girl: Revisiting The Slasher Films Filmography By Kent Byron Armstrong - The Ginger Nuts Of Horror Review Website Kent Byron Armstrong's Slasher Films filmography. Exploring how this 2003 reference work challenges Final Girl tropes and expands the genre internationally.

Most slasher discourse is stuck on the Final Girl. Kent Byron Armstrong's 2003 filmography "Slasher Films" says "forget that." It redefines the genre with 250+ entries, pulling in 60s international films. A must-read for canon-breakers.
