How Teen Girls Became Hollywood's Scariest "Villains" | Compilation

From Carrie and Heathers to Mean Girls and Jennifer's Body to Wednesday and Euphoria and beyond, the Scary Teen Girl trope has a long history in film and TV. For spooky season, we've compiled our Scary Teen Girl Trope History series into one compilation video for you to dive into! We're analyzing the stories of teen tyrants, witches, demons, and girls who are just trying to survive to get a better understand of what it is that everyone is *really* so afraid of when it comes to teenage girls on screen, and how over time these characters have started using their terrifying power to save themselves!
