Scream queen Jamie Lee Curtis is coming home to the Halloween franchise

John Carpenter recently gave Danny McBride and David Gordon Green his blessing to make a new Halloween movie, one that’s more scary than funny, with a twisted killer who’s still decidedly less immortal than his predecessor. But Carpenter, who established the franchise in 1978, will still executive produce along with Blumhouse Productions. And as part of a “back-to-basics approach,” the franchise will welcome back scream queen Jamie Lee Curtis.
