before neve campbell, before jennifer love hewitt and before buffy, i mean sarah michelle... there was an original scream queen...and that lady was jamie lee!
she was the one! the only! the best! all beginning with the original "halloween", she was laurie strode...the sister of michael myers, who one halloween night crawled into his older sister's room and murdered her in cold blood with his mother's sharpest carving knife.
16 years later he's come back to haddonfield, with only one thing on his mind...
after halloween, she continued on in halloween 2 (which was probably one of the best sequels to ever be a part of the horror genre, which took place the same night as the first one). but then she dissappeared from her crazed masked brother, until H20.
between roles she was still a huge part of the genre playing in such fright flicks as "terror train", "the fog" and "prom night". but it's her reaccuring part in the halloween movies that truly sent a chill up my spine.
in halloween: H20 (20 years later) she returns to her role as the terrorized baby-sitter, now fully grown of course and the head mistress of a very posh and secluded private school in northern california.
but michael tracks her down and continues his reign of terror. does she get away? does she survive? does she put her brother to rest???
unfortunately they make us wait till halloween:resurrection (shitty, shitty, shitty), for laurie strode to make a final appearance...this time she's in an insane asylum, apparently driven crazy from all those years of running from a knife-wielding maniac. and i won't ruin it for you, but let's just say the star of the movie is busta rhymes...and tyra-big boobs-banks makes an appearance!
so this halloween, while perusing the aisles of your local video depository, and you come across the festive horror section, pick up one of miss curtis' fright films...her scream is guaranteed to top even the best pipes in the bizz...
♪enjoy♪
