Michael Myers wandering around the background and staring at Jamie is perfect

[@nicholasgarrick7546]

Jamie lee Curtis is one hollywood greatest comedians ,and a legend.

[@m00nl1ghtba3]

duhh, have u not seen freaky Friday. so iconic

[@harperz9779]

Let's not forget Fish called Wanda, and True Lies ! She's a wonderful human being, and a great talent.

[@anthonychilcote872]

I LOVED in H20 when her mom played the school secretary and said "If I could be maternal for a moment" and wishes her a happy Halloween, and then gets into the car from psycho and drives away. It was a chefs kiss moment. H20 is one of the best Halloween movies.

[@michaelking4150]

I could not have said that better Anthony you described it perfectly. H20 has a few Psycho tributes. Great film.

[@danieldalton6544]

That WAS a great scene. The movie didn't scare me at all though, so was a little disappointed.

[@anthonychilcote872]

@@michaelking4150 I just remembered the music they played during that scene was the psycho theme slowed down. Iconic, and great tribute to her mom.

[@michaelking4150]

@@anthonychilcote872 yeah! I smile every time i watch that scene it's truly special and subtle a couple of my mates didn't get it i had to explain lol H20 has a few goosebump moments like them coming face to face and laurie taking the axe shouting Michael! love it.

[@sleepyandhollow.]

Loveee h20. And halloween 3 too

[@platoschauvet]

Jamie Lee Curtis is a legit nerd, and we love that

[@JnEricsonx]

Well, she is playing Tannis in the Borderlands movie.

[@1ddedde]

Indeed! Halloween, True Lies, Freaky Friday, list goes on

[@Meltymorty]

@@1ddedde the strip dance scene in true lies she killed that role

[@pequena_ninera]

@@1ddedde My Girl and My Girl 2, A Fish Named Wanda........The list is very very long. BTW she and my mother share the same birthday. She's only 5 years older than me.

The Best Hollywood Scream Queen of All time so far, love you Jamie Lee Curtis!

[@mjsbadgirl777]

Have you not heard her mom in Phsyco Jamie won't mind me saying this but she has her beat Where do you think Jamie gets it from?

[@Anywhooo]

@@mjsbadgirl777 I hear ya, I'm just talking about my generation, who I grew up watching. Peace.

[@mjsbadgirl777]

I grew up watching Jamie but I'm just showing respect to her mum

[@kirstyw.6854]

This is so iconic and sweet 😱🎃🥰🥰🧑🏼🧑🏼🎥 ALSO MICHAEL NOOOOOO 1:18 Jamie’s “Hi Michael sorry” haha sorry not sorry also Jamie blowing my mind with the Psycho trivia 🤯😍👗

[@miaaustinhayes-elmore9437]

Don't you just love everything about this actress! 🎊 Congratulations on your day!

[@MissBetsy131]

This is gold

[@HIGHTS]

She is a QUEEN!

[@pequena_ninera]

I adore Jamie Lee Curtis. I love her sense of humor, her honesty and she does have class. I have a lot of her movies, because I grew up watching her and she is a class act and she is open about her stuggles growing up and etc. She is the SCREAM QUEEN FOREVER! Nobody will ever take that SCREAM QUEEN crown away.

[@LittleMissStamper]

Anyone else yell *"LOOK BEHIND YOU!"* When Michael walked by? 🤣

[@Jaynexxtdoorr]

Jamie Lee Curtis calling Micheal antisocial was just the whole highlight of my life

[@harperz9779]

It was a good line!!👍

[@thefactsaccordingtogabbie149]

I always loved her personality!😍

[@lawless182]

She’s so awesome. They better not kill her in this movie. All the shots only show her in the hospital. She better just get injured and be back for 3. We can’t watch Laurie die again

[@wearenotthewalkingdead]

Jamie wants out from this franchise, she always has - if Michael doesn’t die, which they always refuse doing, she will definitely

[@erikadelgaardnielsen9391]

I like How Michael photobombs in the back🤣🤣🤣1:18

[@Dion_Mustard]

she's like a funny fabulous frivolous aunt that everyone would want in their family..love her!

[@kallen868]

I ❤ Jamie Lee!

[@heatherbillpotter1266]

I love her she's an amazing actress

[@jponigurl]

My son and I were watching this and right as she's talking about blood lol Myers creeps on by staring her down for just a sec....I was waiting for him to creep up on Jamie 🤣 that was perfect timing hahaha 🤣🔪

[@TheOfficialLouRawz]

she was fire in True/lies

[@grimm_destroyer5566]

Yes she was especially dancing for me Da Terminator lol

[@cinramirez8627]

I love her! Watching this, I totally see her father in her. 💝 Tony Curtis was a gem. So charismatic through film. My Mother loved him! Watched all his films with my father as a kid and I was fascinated by the characters he portrayed. I’m 43 now, and I’m glad that my father introduced me to all these films at such a young age. 💝🙏🏼

[@thatonemoodyguy]

She’s hilarious! Love this 😍

[@cinematicaddict6863]

I wonder how much her dish soap costs 😂 love her costume so sweet and iconic

[@feliciasantiago4345]

Jamie lee Curtis is one of my favorites and she’s absolutely beautiful.

[@deathnotedevil]

[@joefriedman9843]

The fact her and her mom were in 2 of the very best horror movies of all time is really cool.

[@jancramp8252]

She's so awesome

[@soapwonder2284]

I love Mrs Curtis! She has great humor and doesn’t take herself too seriously!

[@purplefreax]

1:18 this was the best part 🤣

[@kcroyals_lukebryan_girlygirl]

It's kinda weird , however it's cool she would give a nod to her mom as she should. We love Jamie she is the real deal and feels comfortable with that. So awesome Michael walked behind her , he is like I have dealt with you already.

[@futuristicretrovibe]
