The convection im talking about is the final girl, both 'Scream' and 'Halloween' had a girl that survived to the end. In 'Halloween' it was Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) and in 'Scream' they had two one was Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell) and Gale Weathers (Courtney Cox). Sidney survived the the 'Ghost Face' killer twice first time was at her house and the second was at Stus house after losing her virginity to her boyfriend Billy (Skeet Ulrich), Gail didn't get attacked til the end when she tried helping Sidney out. While Laurie survived at the house she was babysitting. Even though in scream Gale Weathers isn't really a victin she still survives till the end. All the final girls fight the killer by either hitting them or in Gales case shot him. And in both cases of Sidney and Laurie they both get saved by someone before they are about to get killed. Havong a final girl give a change to the movie by having that strong female it gives a chance to have a victim thats not helpless and fights back. Sidney survives at one point when Billy was about to kill him when Gale shots him before he trys to stab Sidney. I think thats luck. Same thing happens in Halloween when Laurie was being strangled by Mike Myers (Tony Moran) and Dr Sam Loomis (Donald Pleasence) happens to be walking by when the two children Tommy Doyle (Brian Andrews) and Lindsey Wallace (Kyle Richards) run out of the Doyles house. He rubs in and just sees Mike strangling Laurie and shots him helping Laurie thats another way of luck.
