Emily Madriga Updated December 13, 2019 Emily Madriga Updated December 13, 2019 This season of is my new favorite. The theme was so fun and lent itself to being a truly enjoyable campy horror show that was genuinely scary at times and made me laugh out loud. Billie Lourd’s character Montana was really the highlight for me. She was a glorious final girl/secretly the killer contender in all her 80’s aerobics instructor glory.
