Here's an interesting twist: Jamie Lee Curtis, the actress who practically defined the "Scream Queen" role in Hollywood, admits she's genuinely terrified of horror movies—even when she's the one starring in them! In her iconic role as Laurie Strode in Halloween, Jamie revealed it was tough for her to watch the film despite knowing every single detail about what was going to happen next.

Why Horror Movies Freak Jamie Lee Curtis Out

Turns out, Jamie isn't a fan of being scared. In a candid conversation with People, she confessed, "I don’t like being scared. I watch movies, truly, with a blanket." That’s right, folks—underneath that tough exterior lies a woman who needs a little extra comfort while watching films that give her goosebumps. And guess what? She's not alone. Jamie joked that her entire friend circle shares the same fear of horror films. "There’s not a friend of mine who doesn’t get scared easily by horror films," she said with a laugh.

But it's not just horror flicks that give Jamie the jitters. She also avoids suspenseful movies packed with unexpected twists and turns. "If you interviewed anybody, they will tell you about a Downton Abbey episode and they’ll say to you, ‘Oh, no, no. Jamie can’t see it,’” she revealed. It seems that within her social circle, Jamie's fear of suspenseful content is pretty well-known. "I am somewhat known for that within my circle of friends and family," she admitted.

Even scenes recreating war zones can be too much for Jamie. To get through such films, she sometimes resorts to singing "Au Clair de la Lune," which somehow helps calm her nerves. Jamie explained, "I’m just that person. And I have been since I was a little girl and I will be ‘till the day I die." It's clear that Jamie has always been a jumpy individual, and that hasn't changed over the years.
