Choosing Modern Final Girls For The ‘Nightmare On Elm Street’ Franchise

For my 6th post for Women In Horror Month, I decided to do things a little differently than my usual Remake articles. Today, I’m picking modern final girls as if the Nightmare On Elm Street films were made today! As always, I made my choices based on age, looks, and how I picture their overall performances. I hope you enjoy and let me know who you’d cast! (REMINDER: This is just hypothetical fun!! I respect everyone mentioned and this series isn’t meant to tear anyone down or be disrespectful!!)
