1. Jamie Lee Curtis
Jamie Lee Curtis is the Scream Queen. There’s simply no argument about it. Introduced to moviegoers in 1978 with Halloween, Curtis starred in a string of slashers (three of them in 1980), ending with Halloween II in 1981. Well, it almost ended, but she returned to the franchise that made her famous in 1998 with Halloween: H20. We’ll just forget that Halloween: Resurrection ever happened. Now that she’s back in Scream Queens, we can all look forward to getting a weekly does of Ms. Curtis in our lives!
