From Twin Peaks to Heathers to Teen Witch to Beetlejuice's Lydia Deetz to The Craft to Buffy and beyond, we're taking a look at the scary teen girl and... *why* she became so scary. 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.

In this three-part series, we’re going to take you on a trip into the history of the terrifying teen girl onscreen.
