10 Horror Actors Forced Into Roles They Never Wanted

10. Jamie Lee Curtis - Halloween: Resurrection

1998's Halloween H20: 20 Years Later was the triumphant return of Laurie Strode. After being absent since its third installment, Jamie Lee Curtis came back to the series and had a proper send-off by decapitating Michael Myers at the end of the film.

Unfortunately for Curtis, the producers had no plans of stopping the series, as four years later, Halloween: Resurrection retconned the previous installment to explain The Shape's survival.

The actress hated this idea, feeling that her character had a satisfying ending to the previous film. But because she was under contract, she was forced to participate in this dud of a movie. She did, however, make one demand and that was to kill Laurie in the opening. Her request was granted by the filmmakers and our iconic final girl was thrown off a rooftop by Michael Myers.

And who could blame her for wanting out, as Resurrection is considered one of the low points of the franchise, with infamous scenes like Busta Rhymes fighting The Shape.

Of course, Laurie's death would eventually be undone when Jamie Lee Curtis came back in Halloween (2018) and kickstarted a new trilogy.
