Jamie Lee Curtis has recreated the iconic shower scene from Psycho for an upcoming episode of US horror-comedy series Scream Queens.
The actress’s late mother, Janet Leigh, famously appeared in the original shower scene from Alfred Hitchcock’s classic 1960 thriller and earned an Oscar nomination for her performance as ill-fated motel guest Marion Crane.
“Recreated Mom’s PSYCHO shower scene 4 a special ep of @ScreamQueens,” Curtis wrote as she tweeted a teaser from her homage to the scene.
