Back in 1960, Janet Leigh stars in one of the most groundbreaking movies of all time, and only 18 years later, her daughter matches that same level of a "killer" film. Horror movies were such a taboo back then, it's a testament that simple things are all you need to spook someone into eternal nightmares. I remember my mother telling me 1978 Halloween, had people terrified during the holiday for the next 5 years or so. A simple mechanic jumper and a William Shatner mask have become more iconic than most discoveries in history.              David Gordon Green had a vision for Laurie's swan song, and Jamie Lee fell in love with the script. She's one of the more passionate actresses I've witnessed, always speaking her mind about being a good person, and not taking shit from anyone. I think David really encompassed her true nature and made a perfect mesh between Laurie and Jamie. It's not only just a horror movie dealing with a bad guy wielding a knife but a group of women surviving trauma.              Fan service is heavy in this latest trilogy, even some that unless you're an avid fan, would miss the showcasing. Which is a nice addition. Most of these films that are being brought back from the grave are only touching the more iconic lines. There are a few obscure ones in these, and I hope you catch them.  Jamie Lee Curtis' role as Laurie strode was laid to rest this year, and I'm torn between emotions. She may not be in another Halloween movie ever again, but she will always be Laurie strode.  This all comes to an end, after a 44-year span, with 13 movies. John Carpenter and the Late Debra Hill created one of most influential horror franchises of all time, but nothing ever really ends, does it?
