Jamie Lee Curtis is best known around these parts – and always will be – for her role as Laurie Strode in John Carpenter's HALLOWEEN. And today we've learned that Curtis thinks that parents who show their kids HALLOWEEN are the worst human beings on the planet. Ouch.
Specifically, during a recent podcast appearance she said:
I’m not demeaning children or saying they can’t handle (violence), but it’s the truth… When I go out to talk about Halloween, even when I was doing book tours for books for children, I would have people come… They will stand there with their five-year-old kid, and say to me, ‘My Bobby loves Halloween, Don’t you Bobby?’… and I look at them and I have the meanest, meanest JLC are-you-out-of-your-fucking-mind look of you are the worst human being on the planet that you would show your child Halloween. I have kind of a strong opinion, as you can tell, about when is correct and incorrect to expose a child to that stuff.

Here's the synopsis:
On a cold Halloween night in 1963, six year old Michael Myers brutally murdered his 17-year-old sister, Judith. He was sentenced and locked away for 15 years. But on October 30, 1978, while being transferred for a court date, a 21-year-old Michael Myers steals a car and escapes Smith's Grove. He returns to his quiet hometown of Haddonfield, Illinois, where he looks for his next victims.
HALLOWEEN was directed by Carpenter from a screenplay he co-wrote along with producer Debra Hill. The film stars Pleasence, Curtis, P. J. Soles, Nancy Loomis, and Nick Castle as The Shape. If you don't own the flick on Blu-ray, you can go ahead and snag one via Amazon right over HERE.
