I'm starting a tribute to the great Scream Queens of cinema, and I can't think of a better one to start with than Janet Leigh. Although a silver screen legend in her own right, she ranks as one of the greatest Scream Queens for her performance in the granddaddy of all slashers, "Psycho".
Married to screen icon Tony Curtis, and mother of Scream Queen Jamie Lee Curtis, Janet Leigh is true Hollywood royalty. And her infamous shower scene in "Psycho" is one of cinema's greatest achievements, and truly iconic in the annals of film horror. Janet Leigh made thousands of people afraid to take a shower, and that's why she's my first Scream Queen tribute.
Janet gets extra cool points for appearing with her Scream Queen daughter, Jamie Lee Curtis, in not one but two horror films, John Carpenter's fantastic "The Fog", and "Halloween: H20". Plus, she appeared in the bona fide camp/cult classic "Night of the Lepus". What a lady.
Whether she's fending off demented slashers, vengeful ghosts from the past, or giant killer bunnies- Janet has certainly made an impression on horror film fans over the years.
