shadyJ, you have raised some interesting points.
It is easy to say that women are presented well in slasher films because it is always a female character that survives at the end, but if we take into consideration the well worn trope that only the virgin survives in the end of most horror movies, it does raise some interesting implications with regards to sexism. The ultimate subconscious suggestion of a film like 'Halloween' is that women who don't have sex and focus on their academics are smarter than the supposed 'bimbos' who don't care for academics and have promiscuous sex.
