Women in horror films have moved from the role of the victim—or the surviving “final girl,” such as Laurie Strode in *Halloween* and Ellen Ripley in *Alien*—to characters who drive the story and confront psychological and social struggles, sometimes becoming the source of the horror themselves, as in *Carrie* and *Pearl*. Works such as *The Babadook* and *The Substance* explore grief, motherhood, aging, and the pressures of beauty, while Arab women filmmakers, including Nayla Al Khaja, Shahad Ameen, and Meryem Joobeur, tell stories that blend horror with issues of women, family, and society. The article concludes that this shift does not mean the victim archetype has disappeared or been replaced by an invincible heroine. Rather, these characters have become more complex and contradictory, with their fears and desires now part of what shapes both the story and its horror.
