Jamie Lee Curtis Had the Best Costume on the Halloween Kills Premiere

I feel it’s time to retire the time period “scream queens,” the epithet for ladies who star in horror flicks the place they’re always on the run from monsters, murderers, extra. That’s as a result of there is just one true Scream Queen, and her title is Jamie Lee Curtis, star of a number of Halloween movies, Prom Night, The Fog, Terror Train, and extra. Curtis proved her royalty but once more on the Halloween Kills premiere occasion by arriving dressed as her mom, Janet Leigh—particularly, as her doomed character in Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho.

The premiere, held on October 12, was additionally a dressing up occasion, and some of Curtis’ fellow stars made the hassle. Her Halloween Kills co-star Judy Greer got here as Diane Keaton in Annie Hall, and I feel Kyle Richards was a Sexy Drum Majorette or one thing. At least Blumhouse head honcho Jason Blum saved on style by dressing as Laurie Strode, Curtis’ Halloween character, as seen within the 2018 movie, though the costume was flattering to neither of them.

Unsurprisingly, Curtis was the star, not solely dressed as Leigh’s character Marion Crane, however accessorized with the bloody bathe curtain that served as her funeral shroud. It’s certainly not the primary time Curtis has celebrated her mom, who’s sometimes called the primary scream queen due to her work in Psycho. On Fox’s (not notably good) 2015-16 TV sequence Scream Queens, Curtis reenacted the notorious bathe assault scene herself.

The actor is clearly recreation for absolutely anything horror-related, on condition that she’s been prepared to play the position of Laurie Strode for 4 Halloween sequels, not counting the upcoming Halloween Kills, which premieres in theaters and on the Peacock streaming service tomorrow. In it, Laurie leads the survivors of Michael Myers’ 1978 assaults collectively to seek out the lacking killer and put him down as soon as and for all. (Don’t fear, he’ll be secure—a 3rd film, Halloween Ends, is coming subsequent yr.)

Hmm. Maybe the time period “scream queens” can keep. What if we simply declare Jamie Lee Curtis the Scream Empress?
