Halloween: 15 Most WTF Franchise Moments (So Far)

9. Janet Leigh's Ridiculous Cameo (Halloween H20: 20 Years Later)

Psycho star Janet Leigh makes an amusing if rather on-the-nose cameo appearance in H20, all the more interesting as Leigh is in fact the mother of Jamie Lee Curtis.

Mother and daughter share the screen as Leigh plays Laurie's secretary Norma Watson for a brief two-minute scene, giving Laurie a quick fright in the process.

In case you somehow weren't aware you were watching Hollywood royalty, director Steve Miner decides to shove it down your throat by playing a piece from Bernard Herrmann's legendary Psycho score and even having Norma drive the very same 1957 Ford Cedan, complete with an identical license plate.

Subtlety is overrated, apparently.
