Of course there’s nothing goofy about Halloween. Jamie Lee Curtis is basically the gold standard of stars who turned horror careers into just plain thriving movie careers.

She starred as Laurie Strode in the original 1978 Halloween and then reprised the role in many sequels, including the recent reboot trilogy. (She even made two small cameos in Halloween 3: The Season of the Witch, which departed dramatically from the Michael Myers storyline.)

Curtis also appeared in many other hits, including Trading Places, A Fish Called Wanda and True Lies, before winning an Oscar last year for Everything Everywhere All at Once.

But she hasn’t turned her back on horror movies: In 2022 she appeared in Halloween Ends.
