Framegrab of Rooney Mara as final girl Nancy Holbrook in the 2010 remake of A Nightmare On Elm Street (Samuel Bayer, 2010). Read Kyle Christensens article on this films source text (The Final Girl versus Wes Cravens A Nightmare on Elm Street: Proposing a Stronger Model of Feminism in Slasher Horror Cinema), and also check out Film Studies For Frees entry of links to Final Girl Studies

Below, Film Studies For Free links to the entire online contents, to date, of the excellent Open Access journal Studies in Popular Culture: a list of more than 60 great articles on film, television and media studies. 

The journal of the US Popular Culture Association / American Culture Association in the South, SPC dates back, in its offline, print version, to 1977, making it one of the oldest, continuously published academic journals to treat audiovisual media.  

SPC has been online since 2006 and is a wonderful example of how an online presence indicates no necessary lowering of the quality bar for a properly peer-reviewed journal.
