Barbie Just Won’t Die!

£9.99

Barbra ‘Barbie’ Jacobs may be the wrong side of forty, but she’s still beloved by her fans. Typecast as a Scream Queen from her very first horror flick, Barb’s always wanted to prove to herself that she’s more than a ‘final girl’ – the prettiest one who somehow manages not to get chopped into tiny little pieces at the end of the movie. But now her wish might be coming true. In the bathroom at this horror convention Barb finds a cheerleader in the stalls covered in blood. How cliché. But this time, it’s not from the props department – her throat’s been ripped out. As the body count rises, Barb knows she has to play the part one last time if she’s going to escape the deranged psycho serial killer who’s murdering everyone around her.
