Jamie Lee Curtis Recreates Shower Scene From Psycho

Following the same anthology format as his own American Horror Story, Ryan Murphy’s upcoming t.v. show, Scream Queens, takes on the slasher genre (for it’s first season, at least) and with a title like that, of course he had to get Jamie Lee Curtis involved. Not only is she well deserving of that title with her work on the Halloween franchise, but she is the daughter of Janet Leigh, who made cinema history by screaming bloody murder during the iconic shower scene from Psycho. Now, paying homage to that classic moment, Curtis has recreated it for a special episode of the show, and has shared with us the first look, with the actress striking a very familiar pose.

Just recreated, with help from the amazing crew, a shot by shot of my mother's famous shower scene from Hitchcock's PSYCHO for @screamqueensfox #screamqueens Ryan Murphy and co. wrote it into a special episode and it felt right! Honoring the Royal legend that is/was/will always be, Janet Leigh. Thought all fans of the genre would love it! #honorthymother 📷@joaquin_sedillo show debuts in a week on FOX 8pm 2hour premiere!!!!
