Laurie Strode is a character from the Halloween series. She first appeared in Halloween (1978) as a high school student who becomes targeted by serial killer Michael Myers, in which she was portrayed by Jamie Lee Curtis. Created by John Carpenter and Debra Hill, Laurie appeared in nine of thirteen films in the series (and is seen briefly in photographs and video footage in at least two others). The character has subsequently been represented in various other media, including novels, video games, and comic books.
Most entries in the franchise depict Laurie as Michael's younger sister, although this detail is not present in the first film and was also disregarded by the most recent entries - the 2018 film and its two sequels. The character is primarily portrayed by Jamie Lee Curtis, who appears as Laurie in the original film and six of its sequels. In the two films directed by Rob Zombie, she is played by Scout Taylor-Compton. Academic materials widely cite Laurie as one of the early and more influential examples of the "final girl" slasher film archetype.
^Halloween Kills: The Official Movie Novelization by Tim Waggoner — Prologue — Page 1 — “The Shape stands motionless at the foot of the stairs, looking up at the three woman who have imprisoned him in this trap. Their faces display a range of emotions: anger, disbelief, fear… but most of all, triumph. This is most prominent in the face of the oldest woman, although when the Shape looks at her, he sees a different face, a much younger one. The face of She Who Will Not Die. The Shape is incapable of feeling anything as he gazes into her eyes, but something stares inside him, a need for… what? Completion? Closure? Perhaps. Or maybe it’s simply a need to see the life fade in those eyes—those stubborn, stubborn eyes—to watch them become cold and empty, like his.”
