Filmme Fatales looks at some of the most spellbinding, dazzling, and campy female performances in film history! Each month, Chase and Jeff will take a semi-deep dive into one of their favourite female actresses of all time. They will dissect all of the sassy nuances, giving roses where they are due and discussing aspects they didn't love. Of course, they will get silly, stupid, and super gay as they discuss their lives in relation to the drama, glamour, and grandeur of cinema's leading ladies.

14. Scream Queens: Jamie Lee Curtis - Halloween (1978)

For Halloween, we're dedicating a month of episodes to Scream Queens! This week, we're continuing on with Jamie Lee Curtis, who just so happens to be the daughter of last week's Filmme Fatale, Janet Leigh.

How apt then that we're also discussing the titular film, Halloween (1978). In Jamie Lee Curtis' movie debut, she plays Laurie Strode, a high school senior who is stalked and attacked by the mysterious, murderous, mute figure Michael Myers (not to be confused with Shrek).

Halloween would go on to become the indie slasher film that could, making 70 million dollars on a 300k budget and becoming one of the most popular and commercialized horror franchises in the history of cinema. So what makes this first movie so impactful? And what makes Jamie Lee Curtis a great Scream Queen? Listen to find out...
