Her film debut occurred in [[John Carpenter]]'s 1978 horror film ''[[Halloween (1978 film)|Halloween]]'', in which she played the role of [[Laurie Strode]]. The film was a major success and was considered the highest-grossing [[independent film]] of its time, earning accolades as a classic horror film. The producer, [[Debra Hill]], specifically cast Curtis because her mother, Janet Leigh, had been known as a horror icon due to her Oscar-nominated performance in ''[[Psycho (1960 film)|Psycho]]''.<ref>{{cite magazine |url=https://archive.org/details/cinefantastique_1970-2002/Cinefantastique%20Vol%2030%20No%205-6%20%28Sep%201998%29/page/n5/mode/2up |title=Halloween 20 |magazine=Cinemafantatique |last=Eby |first=Douglas |volume=30 |number=5–6 |date=September 1998 |page=7}}</ref> She would also return to the ''Halloween'' franchise seven times, playing Strode in the sequels ''[[Halloween II (1981 film)|Halloween II]]'' (1981), ''[[Halloween H20: 20 Years Later]]'' (1998), ''[[Halloween: Resurrection]]'' (2002), ''[[Halloween (2018 film)|Halloween]]'' (2018), ''[[Halloween Kills]]'' (2021), and ''[[Halloween Ends]]'' (2022), and having an uncredited voice role in ''[[Halloween III: Season of the Witch]]'' (1982).<ref>{{cite web |title=John Carpenter wishes there was only one Halloween movie |url=https://uk.yahoo.com/movies/john-carpenter-wishes-there-was-only-one-halloween-101330382161.html |website=Yahoo!

After the major critical and commercial success of ''Halloween'', Curtis was cast in several horror films, garnering her a reputation as a [[scream queen]].<ref name=screamqueen/>

===1980–1982: Scream queen===
Her next film following ''Halloween'' was ''[[The Fog]]'', which was also directed by Carpenter and produced by Hill. The film opened in February 1980 to mixed reviews but strong box office,<ref name="foggross">{{cite web |title=''The Fog'' gross tally |url=http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=fog.htm |website=[[Box Office Mojo]] |access-date=March 9, 2006 |archive-date=February 13, 2006 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060213042546/http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=fog.htm |url-status=live}}</ref> starting Curtis as a horror film starlet. In the years since its release, the film has achieved critical reappraisal and developed a [[Cult film|cult following]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.syfy.com/syfy-wire/how-john-carpenters-the-fog-went-from-disaster-to-cult-horror-classic-on-its-40th |work=[[Syfy]] |title=How John Carpenter's The Fog went from disaster to cult horror classic on its 40th anniversary |last=Brigden |first=Charlie |date=February 7, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221229205112/https://www.syfy.com/syfy-wire/how-john-carpenters-the-fog-went-from-disaster-to-cult-horror-classic-on-its-40th |archive-date=December 29, 2022 |url-status=live}}</ref> Her next film, ''[[Prom Night (1980 film)|Prom Night]]'', was a low-budget Canadian [[slasher film]] released in July 1980. The film, for which she earned a [[Genie Award]] nomination for Best Performance by a Foreign Actress, was similar in style to ''Halloween'', yet received negative reviews which marked it as a disposable entry in the then-popular slasher genre. That year, Curtis also starred in ''[[Terror Train]]'', which opened in October and met with negative reviews akin to ''Prom Night''. Both films performed moderately well at the box office.<ref name=thenumbers/> Curtis's roles in the latter two films served a similar function to that of Strode—the main character whose friends are murdered and is practically the only [[protagonist]] to survive. Film critic [[Roger Ebert]], who gave negative reviews to all three of Curtis's 1980 films, said that Curtis "is to the current horror film glut what [[Christopher Lee]] was to the last one—or [[Boris Karloff]] was in the 1930s."<ref name="ebert">{{cite web |first=Roger |last=Ebert |author-link=Roger Ebert |title=Terror Train |url=https://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/19801009/REVIEWS/10090301/1023 |date=October 9, 1980 |access-date=March 9, 2006 |work=[[Chicago Sun-Times]] |archive-date=May 25, 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070525165346/http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=%2F19801009%2FREVIEWS%2F10090301%2F1023 |url-status=dead}}</ref>

In 1981, she appeared alongside [[Stacey Keach]] in the Australian thriller film ''[[Roadgames]]'', directed by Carpenter's friend [[Richard Franklin (director)|Richard Franklin]]; her importation, which was requested by the film's American distributor [[AVCO Embassy Pictures]], was contested by the Sydney branch of [[Actors Equity of Australia|Actors Equity]].<ref name="kangaroo">''Kangaroo Hitchcock: The Making of Roadgames'' (2003).

===1983–1989: ''Trading Places'' and established actress===
[[File:Jamie Lee Curtis 1989b.jpg|thumb|right|upright|Curtis at the 1989 [[Primetime Emmy Awards]]]]
Her role as a kindhearted prostitute in 1983's ''[[Trading Places]]'' helped Curtis shed her horror queen image; the film was a great critical and commercial success and garnered Curtis a [[BAFTA Award for Best Actress in a Supporting Role]].<ref name=bafta/> She had previously worked with director [[John Landis]] on the documentary ''[[Coming Soon (1982 film)|Coming Soon]]''. The studio originally objected to Curtis's casting, as she was primarily associated with horror films: "The casting people all thought [Landis] was crazy, and he single-handedly changed the course of my life by giving me that part", Curtis later stated.<ref>{{cite web |first=Rob |last=Wile |url=https://www.businessinsider.com/an-oral-history-of-trading-places-2013-6 |title=It's The 30-Year Anniversary Of The Greatest Wall Street Movie Ever Made: Here's The Story Behind It |date=June 27, 2013 |website=[[Business Insider]] |access-date=July 3, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200703114327/https://www.businessinsider.com/an-oral-history-of-trading-places-2013-6?r=US&IR=T |archive-date=July 3, 2020 |url-status=live}}</ref> The following year, Curtis appeared in the romantic drama film ''[[Love Letters (1984 film)|Love Letters]]'' and the comedy-drama ''[[Grandview, U.S.A.]]''.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://catalog.afi.com/Film/57139-LOVE-LETTERS?cxt=filmography |publisher=American Film Institute |access-date=April 26, 2023 |title=Love Letters |archive-date=September 1, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220901200604/https://catalog.afi.com/Film/57139-LOVE-LETTERS?cxt=filmography |url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://catalog.afi.com/Film/57095-GRANDVIEW-USA?cxt=filmography |publisher=American Film Institute |access-date=April 26, 2023 |title=Grandview, U.S.A. |archive-date=October 25, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221025144450/https://catalog.afi.com/Film/57095-GRANDVIEW-USA?cxt=filmography |url-status=live}}</ref>

In 1985, Curtis was cast opposite [[John Travolta]] as a workout instructor in the film ''[[Perfect (1985 film)|Perfect]]''. While her role earned her a reputation as a [[sex symbol]],<ref name=filmthreat/> the film was a critical and commercial flop. It has since earned a cult following, and in a 1994 interview with ''[[Rolling Stone]]'' magazine, Quentin Tarantino called the movie "greatly underappreciated."<ref>{{cite magazine |last=Wild |first=David |date=November 3, 1994 |title=Quentin Tarantino: The Madman of Movie Mayhem |url=https://www.rollingstone.com/movies/news/quentin-tarantino-the-madman-of-movie-mayhem-19941103 |magazine=[[Rolling Stone]] |access-date=January 16, 2016 |archive-date=February 25, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230225165142/https://www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv-movie-news/quentin-tarantino-the-madman-of-movie-mayhem-186995/ |url-status=live}}</ref> That same year, Curtis starred as [[Annie Oakley]] in an episode of ''[[Tall Tales & Legends|Shelley Duvall's Tall Tales & Legends]]''.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.allmovie.com/movie/tall-tales-legends--annie-oakley-vm85970 |title=Tall Tales & Legends: Annie Oakley |access-date=April 27, 2023 |publisher=[[AllMovie]] |archive-date=April 27, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230427153743/https://www.allmovie.com/movie/tall-tales-legends--annie-oakley-vm85970 |url-status=live}}</ref> In 1986, she starred alongside [[Bette Davis]] in the [[HBO]] film ''[[As Summers Die]]''.
