Curtis, who followed in her mother Janet Leigh’s footsteps by making her name in a slasher story, tweeted a photo of herself on set next to a jack-o-lantern with a masked Michael Myers standing behind her ominously in the doorway. “Same porch. Same clothes. Same issues. 40 years later. Headed back to Haddonfield one last time for Halloween,” she captioned it. > [](https://twitter.com/jamieleecurtis/status/908760232016322560) Curtis broke big in 1978 as Laurie Strode. Since then, she returned to the franchise four times for sequels, most recently for 2002’s _Halloween: Resurrection._ She also sent-up her horror queen image as Dean Cathy Munsch on Ryan Murphy’s slasher spoof _Scream Queens,_ even [recreating her mother’s iconic ](http://ew.com/article/2015/09/25/scream-queens-jamie-lee-curtis-psycho-scene/)_Psycho_ shower scene. The new _Halloween_ film, set for an Oct. 2018 release, is [the brainchild of comedian Danny McBride](http://ew.com/movies/2017/05/18/halloween-danny-mcbride-halloween/) and writing partner David Gordon Green. The confirmation of Curtis’ appearance is a reassuring sight for fans of the franchise, but it should come as no surprise given McBride’s love of the original film. “We just love that original _Halloween_. There’s something so scary about how simple it was,” McBride told [EW Radio’s Entertainment Weirdly.](http://ew.com/movies/2017/05/15/danny-mcbride-halloween/) “I had seen all the _Halloween_ films. We really were studying all the sequels and stuff, just to see where it exactly it went wrong. It definitely kind of felt that, as the series went on, Michael Myers became like Frankenstein and he was like indestructible and I think the more indestructible he was, the less scary he became. And so David and I, our ambition is to strip it down and get it back to \[being\] grounded in reality, which I think makes it scarier.” The new _Halloween_ film, now with more Jamie Lee Curtis, is set to hit theaters on Oct. 19, 2018. _This_ [_article_](http://ew.com/movies/2017/09/15/halloween-jamie-lee-curtis-returning/?xid=time) _originally appeared on_ [_EW.com_](http://ew.com) Jamie Lee Curtis Will Appear in the Next 'Halloween' Film ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4944431/jamie-lee-curtis-returning-halloween/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4944431/jamie-lee-curtis-returning-halloween/"},"headline":"Jamie Lee Curtis Will Appear in Upcoming Halloween Reboot","datePublished":"2017-09-15T20:51:02.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-23T17:27:19.056Z","description":"The movie will come out next year","url":"https://time.com/4944431/jamie-lee-curtis-returning-halloween/","keywords":["movies"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blta5c077fe38534bea/6987634f8e06015fa1457f8d/jlc-1.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Maureen Lee Lenker / Entertainment Weekly"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blta5c077fe38534bea/6987634f8e06015fa1457f8d/jlc-1.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Jamie Lee Curtis in Halloween","caption":"Jamie Lee Curtis in Halloween","creditText":"Compass International Pictures","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/movies/","name":"movies"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4944431/jamie-lee-curtis-returning-halloween/","name":"Jamie Lee Curtis Will Appear in Upcoming Halloween Reboot"}}]}] ```
