Am I the only one who think that Chrissy is Kirsty Cotton from Hellraiser? Names sounds similar. In first Hellraiser the main murderer is Kirsty's uncle who skins her father and in the book Hendrix says murderer in Chrissy's story was her Godfather. And in the movie Hellraiser: Hellseeker Kirsty becomes sort of ally of Pinhead - Final Girl who later becomes evil.

Additionally, Stephanie Fugate is most likely a reference/nod to Caril Ann Fugate, who was the youngest person ever convicted of first-degree murder (and was the accomplice of her much older spree-killing boyfriend)

The end of this book reminded me a lot of The Frighteners. There is a female character named Patricia Bradley who seemed to be a final girl back in the 60s, but turned out to be the girlfriend and accomplice of the murderer. Sounds like Stephanie Fugate, maybe? Not a perfect parallel especially since The Frighteners was more supernatural, but I feel like Stephanie should be a parallel to SOMEBODY.
I feel like Chrissy would be paralleling a character who joined up with the killer. I haven't seen enough slashers to know who that would be, but Google suggests that Amanda Young from Saw is a candidate.
