Phyllis Stone

"Leave her alone!"

- Phyllis Stone

Phyllis Stone was the deuteragonist of Wes Craven's 1972 horror film, The Last House on the Left. She is portrayed by Lucy Grantham. In the The Last House on the Left, Phyllis is kidnapped by a gang of escaped convicts alongside her best friend Mari Collingwood on Mari's 17th birthday. Taken into the woods near Mari's house, together the two must figure out a way to escape their kidnappers. Because of a portion of Last House focusing on Phyllis's brief escape from the clutches of her abductors, she has been observed as a precursor to Tina Gray and Casey Becker, the false protagonists of Craven's landmark films A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) and Scream (1996).

Grantham's performance was heavily praised by critics.
