POTD: Jamie Lee Curtis Recreates Her Mother’s Iconic ‘Psycho’ Shower Scene
By Ethan Anderton/Sept. 18, 2015 6:00 am EST
The 1960 film from Alfred Hitchcock stars Janet Leigh as Marion Crane while the 1978 slasher from John Carpenter stars Jamie Lee Curtis. The former was one of the earliest scream queens in cinema’s history while the latter gained the status in the 70s and 80s, only to reprise it in the late 90s with Halloween: H20. But their real link is that Janet Leigh is Jamie Lee Curtis’ mother.
Here’s how Jamie Lee Curtis recreates Psycho on her Instagram page:

As Curtis notes, this isn’t all we’ll see of the recreation, at least if we choose to keep watching Scream Queens after it debuts on September 22nd at 8pm Eastern on Fox. This scene won’t be in the pilot, but will apparently air in a later “special” episode, likely closer to Halloween, and probably chock full of more horror homages as well.
That’s a pretty spot-on recreation of the iconic scene from Psycho, but that’s not hard when you’ve got a whole crew working to replicate that sequence.
