The Final Girl Support Group

Ever wonder what happens to those Final Girls? After the cops eliminate them as suspects, after the press releases their brace-faced, bad-hair-day photos. For Lynette Tarkington, it's been a support group with five other final girls. Close to twenty years. Today's the last day for group, and maybe the final day for all of them, because someone's been planning a nasty surprise for a long time.
