The great Jamie Lee Curtis is, of course, beloved by horror fans for starring as Laurie Strode in the original Halloween.  Myself, I’ve always felt that her best horror performance was actually in 1980’s Prom Night.

Just watch her, during the film’s final minutes, when she discovers that the killer who has spent the entire day killing all of her friends is someone from her own family.  This is great acting and one can see why the Canadians gave her a Genie nomination for Best Foreign Actress.  Let’s hope David Gordon Green never decides or gets the chance to mess this one up.
