31 Days of Halloween: Day #11 … My Favorite Jamie Lee Curtis Horror Flicks
Welcome back to my 31 Days of Halloween series. Today is Day #11, and it’s all about Jamie Lee Curtis.
Hands down Jamie Lee is my favorite actress when it comes to 80s horror movies. When I say my daughter and I love them. We really love them, and last year we dedicated a day all to Jamie. This year we will definatley include Halloween Kills.
Today I’m sharing my favorite Jamie Lee Curtis horror movies!
Remember the evolution of horror was still in it’s toddler stages in the 80s but it’s definitely come a long way from it 50s and 60s counterparts. Directors and film-makers were experimenting and pushing the limits beyond what your imagination would be. The modern-day horror movie was beginning to mirror real life-horrors.
My Jamie Lee Favs!
Halloween ~ 1978 STORYLINE: On Halloween night of 1963, 6-year old Michael Myers stabbed his sister to death. After sitting in a mental hospital for 15 years, Myers escapes and returns to Haddonfield to kill. [Technically this would fall under the ’70s, but it’s a favorite so it makes the cut]. |
The Fog ~ 1980 STORYLINE: According to legend, six sailors killed when shipwrecked 100 years ago in Antonio Bay, California, will rise to avenge their deaths when a strange glowing fog appears. The town is commemorating the centenary of the shipwreck and Father Malone discovers that the ship was wrecked by six founder fathers of the town. The vengeance of their victims will be the death of six people. |
Prom Night ~ 1980 STORYLINE: A masked killer stalks four teenagers who were responsible for the accidental death of a little girl six years earlier, at their high school’s senior prom. |
Halloween II ~ 1981 STORYLINE: While Sheriff Brackett and Dr. Loomis hunt for Michael Myers, a traumatized Laurie is rushed to hospital, and the serial killer is not far behind her. |
Terror Train ~ 1980 STORYLINE: In classic horror film genre that launched a movie franchise, a pedophile who was murdered by a lynch mob returns years later in terrifying nightmares of his killers’ teenage children. |
Halloween (2018) ~ In theory this version replaces all the sequals in the franchise. Halloween Kills is the sequal to this 2018 version. This also doesn’t include Rob Zombie’s version.
STORYLINE: Laurie Strode confronts her long-time foe Michael Myers, the masked figure who has haunted her since she narrowly escaped his killing spree on Halloween night four decades ago. |
