Jamie Lee Curtis’s annual tributes to theHalloweenmovies have become something of aSpooky Season tradition, and the actress didn’t disappoint this year!

On Thursday, Oct. 31, Curtis took to Instagram to wish fans a happy Halloween with a heartfelt ode to the horror franchise that launched her career.

“Mr. Myers excluded of course,” she joked of the franchise’s masked psycho slasher, Michael Myers.

Along with the touching message, theEverything Everywhere All At OnceOscar winnerincluded two photos. The first showed Curtis holding a photo of herHalloweencharacter as depicted in directorDavid Gordon Green’s three most recent entries in the franchise, who in turn holds a photo of the character in the Carpenter’s original.

The second was a doctored pic of the actress planting a kiss on her character’s forehead. Curtis previously posted the image last year along with a similar message marking the 45th anniversary of the firstHalloweenfilm. She wrote that the image “epitomizes the trauma and resilience of victims of unexpected violence and the human instinct to survive.”

“Little did any of us know that 45 years later we would be retelling and retelling that same, simple story of good versus evil, and that it would give birth to a feminist icon, the final girl,” Curtis wrote last year. “This movie and Laurie Strode, gave me my career that I continue to get to have because of her.”
