Halloween: Jamie Lee Curtis (1978) vs. Scout Taylor-Compton (2007)

Character: Laurie Strode

While playing Laurie Strode, the perpetually shrieking babysitter terrorized by escaped mental patient Michael Myers, Jamie Lee Curtis and Scout Taylor-Compton each aptly screamed with the petrified energy of near-death victims. However, it would be blasphemy to say that anything director Rob Zombie did with his remake was better than what was done in John Carpenter's original film.

Winner: Jamie Lee Curtis
