Jamie Lee Curtis is paying tribute to her mother.
On Tuesday, the 62-year-old actress appeared at the "Halloween Kills" premiere – which was costume-themed – dressed as one of her mother's iconic characters.
The star's mother, Janet Leigh, was a horror icon in her own right and was perhaps best known for appearing in Alfred Hitchock's "Psycho" in 1960 as Marion Crane.
Curtis honored her mother by copying one of Leigh's looks from the movie.

Ahead of the movie premiere, the actress shared a photo of herself in costume on Instagram.
"Honoring my mother in ALL her gory...I meant glory!" she joked in the caption. "PREMIERE PARTY TIME!"
Several celebrities expressed their adoration for the tribute look.
"You’re a flipping genius!" Jennifer Grey wrote.

"This is the greatest thing I’ve ever seen," added Amy Landecker.
Mariel Hemingway wrote: "So so so great."

"I am honoring my beautiful late mama, Janet Leigh, but... it's a little more meta than that," Curtis told Entertainment Tonight at the premiere. "I am actually going as Scarlett Johansson as Janet Leigh in the movie ‘Hitchcock.’ So it's meta because we never knew what color Janet Leigh's dress was because it was a black-and-white movie."

Curtis said that "Hitchcock" taught her that the dress was actually blue and added that she whipped up the bloody curtain so as not to be confused for a 1950's housewife.
