The idea of a women in a horror should be strong and independent individuals instead of the stereotype of weak and vulnerable. This is more significate to a modern day genre. This would change the importance of womens role in a horror film then just being a victim.
An example of this is Carrie where she is this weak and vulnerable person but then becomes some one strong.
Another example is in scream Sidney is a strong character throughout the film who does not rely on anyone.
