The theory of Propp is that there are a range of stock characters in slasher films. These characters help to tell the basic structure of a slasher film and are a common convention of the modern day slasher.
These characters include:
-The Final Girl
- The Killer/Monster
- The Group of Friends
- The Sexually Active Girl
- The Benfactor

The final girl is the one girl at the end of the film to survive. She is often represented as quite intellectual and plain, not sexually active and essentially a ‘plain girl.’

The monster or killer in a slasher film is essentially the main character. They are often masked and psychologically disturbed, but are a human-like character. Without the monster, there would not be a slasher film.
