There are certain characters who are iconic villains and monsters, but one scary figure in pop culture doesn’t outwardly appear so terrifying at all. She’s vengeful and ruthless, cold and cunning. She has the tactical prowess of a political mastermind and the calculating mind of a killer – and she does it all from behind a sweet, innocent facade. The teenage girl is at the heart of so many shows – and she’s only getting scarier. So when did Hollywood turn her so terrifying – and what’s driving the shift? In this three-part series, we’re going to take you on a trip into the history of the terrifying teen girl onscreen.
