This October, Jamie Lee Curtis returns to the iconic role of Laurie Strode in Blumhouse’s Halloween. But what was it about THIS sequel that enticed the scream queen supreme to return to The Shape?

Well, it a recent piece by USA Today, the site says Curtis found director David Gordon Green’s streamlined approach to be “simple, clean, scary and excellent.” And on top of that, she remains hugely proud of her character and this horror show.

I recognize that it will be my biggest contribution,” Curtis says. “Despite writing books for children, all of my advocacy, all of my politics, all of my own personal journey, my legacy will be Halloween.”
