It's the perfect opportunity for me to do something completely different than I've ever done before.

    The hot chick always lives, but if there's a plethora of babes like say, for example, in the latest Friday 13th, well - then you're f*cked, unless of course, you're hitched to the hunky male lead, then you might be less f*cked, depending on the screenwriters susceptibility to cliches. It's a hit or miss scenario, really.

    But Emma Roberts is really, really, hot. ;p

    But kill Campbell, she should die during the 4th. Unless this is a trilogy, then kill everyone and wait for her to die for the 5th. then in the 6th, have her come back as the killer and then allow Emma Roberts (if alive) to lop off her head. Oh, could you imagine? it would be awesome
