Jamie Lee Curtis re-creates her mother’s famous ‘Psycho’ shower scene

The actress told her Instagram followers that the scene was being re-created in her new Fox series "Scream Queens."

(CNN) — Like mother, like daughter, even when it comes to a brutal scene of murder.

Jamie Lee Curtis’ career began with a horror movie, Halloween, in 1978.

It was almost kismet that she would be the star of that film, a slasher flick that owed so much to Psycho 18 years earlier. Halloween even had a character named Loomis, based on Psycho’s Sam Loomis.

That Hitchcock classic is best known for a scene in which a character played by Janet Leigh, is stabbed to death in a shower.

Curtis paid tribute to her mother’s iconic moment in an Instagram post on Tuesday (September 15), where she posed as Leigh’s character in the shower, holding up a photo of her mother in the scene for comparison.
