Pin-Up Girl is one of the two female antagonists from The Strangers film series. She was portrayed by Laura Margolis in the original film and Lea Enslin in the sequel, The Strangers: Prey at Night. She was one member of a trio of sadistic murderers who targeted random people to torment and ultimately kill.

The Strangers[]

In the 2008 film The Strangers, Pin-Up Girl and her cohorts (known as Man in the Mask and Dollface) targeted James Hoyt and his girlfriend Kristen McKay, who were staying at a remote summer house following a friend's wedding. Pin-Up Girl's first act against the couple was rearing them with her gang's pick-up truck as they attempted to drive away, forcing them to flee when the Man in the Mask approached them. Pin-Up Girl later stopped Kristen from calling for help on a ham radio by smashing it with a sledgehammer and joined her two accomplices after they had defeated and knocked out the couple, tying them to chairs before removing their masks and stabbing them to death in the morning.

As the trio left, they encountered a pair of Mormon boys who provided them with pamphlets. After Dollface confessed to one of the boys that she was "sometimes" a sinner, the group drove away, with Pin-Up Girl assuring Dollface that "it would be easier next time".

The Strangers: Prey at Night[]

In the 2018 sequel, the gang's latest target are elderly couple Sheryl and Marv, who are living in a mostly deserted trailer park. After waking the sleeping couple up by playing music on their truck's radio, the gang of murderers broke into the trailer and killed Sheryl and Marv. Upon learning that the two were being visited by extended family--couple Mike and Cindy and their teenage children, Luke and Kinsey--from Sheryl and Marv's answering machine, the gang stayed on the trailer park with the intent to terrorize them as well.

Pin-Up Girl's first act against the family was taunting Kinsey as she was cornered by the Man in the Mask in a tunnel, stating that they were "just getting started" when she shouted for him to leave them alone. Pin-Up Girl later attacked Luke after he found a hiding place for his sister and tried to call the police from the nearby general store, eventually cornering him at the park's swimming pool. Pin Up Girl ambushed Luke in an attempt to kill him, only for Luke to eventually overpower the sadistic murderer and stab her to death.
