Scream Queen of the Month-October 2011

 A gypsy fire is on the hearth, 

Sign of the carnival of mirth;
through the dun fields and from the glade
Flash merry folk in masquerade,
for this is Hallowe’en!

    When your mother is the victim of the most famous onscreen murder of all time, the shower scene in Psycho, and your father portrayed one of America’s most notorious serial killers, the Boston Strangler, how the hell can you not have a career as a Scream Queen? Jamie Lee Curtis was probably slapped on the ass by Michael Myers when she was a baby. She has made the role of Laurie Strode as iconic as that of Michael himself and has appeared in 7 of the films in the Halloween series. In addition Miss Curtis has screamed her way through John Carpenter’s The Fog (1978), had herself a bloody time on Prom Night (1978) and rode the Terror Train in 1980.
