Laura asked:

I think I figured out the cinematic equivalents of all the final girls, except for Chrissy. Anyone know who her match is?

She's Reading.... From TV Tropes: The apparently terrible Gnomecoming film, based very loosely on Chrissy's massacre, is a shout-out to Leprechaun, although much less specifically than other examples.
The references to a garish version of Hell (the Dream King's lair) in Chrissy's house and her boxes (because she collects murderbilia) recall Hellraiser.
Molly Siskin My first thought was Troll 2, because it has a similar cult notoriety to Silent Night Deadly Night (which I believe to be the inspo for Slay Bells), my other thought was possibly Prom Night, a film which has a sequel filmed in Alberta, which I haven't seen but I don't believe it has gnomes, howver I do believe the apparent Final Girl turns out to be both supernatural and evil? I was just googling to find this out. Also Prom Night is similar to Homecoming, so I think it could be that. What is holding me back is that there are no actors with names similar to Chrissy or Mercer in the series that I could find, which breaks Hendrix's pattern with all the other final girls' naming convention.
Ali My guesses are : Marilyn -Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Heather- Nightmare on elm street, Dani- Halloween, Adrienne- Friday the 13, Julia was scream and Chrissy was Leprechaun. I’m not sure what Lynette was tho- maybe Silent Night, Deadly Night?
Katie Chrissy's was called Gnomecoming; I think it's a play on the horror movie Leprechaun. (i.e. mythological creatures known for being small)
Flávia Santos Which one is Heather's?
Claire B My best guess is Prom Night.
