Jamie Lee Curtis Shares Halloween Throwback Snaps With Mom Janet Leigh

Jamie Lee Curtis gave fans a peek into her childhood as a young trickster in a Halloween costume alongside her mom, “Pyscho” star Janet Leigh.

The “Halloween” star took to Instagram on Sunday and shared a pair of black and white snaps of her as a young girl in a Halloween costume. The first snap showed Jamie eating next to her sister Kelly Curtis. The second photo showed the sisters cozying up to mom Janet while holding their “trick or treat” bags.

“HAPPY HALLOWEEN! I never felt HOTTER than when I went trick or treating as a little Dutch girl,” Jamie wrote.

She continued, “When I was young we often had my birthday party on Halloween as my birthday isn't for a month but because it falls near the Thanksgiving holiday and anyone who has a birthday near a holiday can attest you feel a little gypped because you're friends can't come. I must've been around eight as I was missing my front teeth.”

Jamie said her mother hired a professional photographer to get their solo and group pictures for the day. She said the second photo was taken after a candy hunt with sister Kelly who posed alongside their tired mother.

She concluded, “The joys of innocence. The thrill of wearing a costume. Can't wait to see what people will wear this year. Be safe everyone. Love and misses to my mother, the OG SCREAM QUEEN, Janet Leigh!”

Janet Leigh became known as Hollywood’s original scream queen after she appeared in the unforgettable shower scene in Alfred Hitchcock’s 1960s horror classic “Pyscho.” She previously talked to ET about the secrets of the movie’s iconic shower scene, saying that its success was hinged on Hitchcock’s ability to strike fear among the audience without showing graphic violence in the film.

ET shared a video of the interview on YouTube.

"What Mr. Hitchcock did was bring the audience into the picture so much that what they saw was what their own mind had imagined - much worse than you could show and that, I think, was the secret of psycho," she said in the video.

"People, knowledgeable people, say, ‘oh I remember that picture, the blood spurting out and the knife, oh!’ and of course, they couldn’t see any of it, because we couldn’t," she said. "The wizardry of Mr. Hitchcock who could bring you to a point at frenzy and then let you take off and go up in there with your imagination."

Her daughter, Jamie, later took a recurring role in the slasher flick “Halloween” franchise where she made her film debut in 1978 as a high school student who is being targeted by a serial killer.

Before Janet Leigh’s death in 2004, she appeared alongside Jamie in the horror classic, “The Fog,” in 1980 and in “Halloween H20” in 1998.
