Jamie Lee Curtis talks horror, hospitals and rebooting Scream Queens for its second season

Jamie Lee Curtis can't seem to escape hospitals. When she made her film in debut, in 1978, playing a serial killer's almost victim Laurie Strode in John Carpenter's horror masterpiece Halloween, it was followed up in 1981 with Halloween II, a sequel which deposited the bruised, battered and stalked Laurie into a hospital. Now, as the second season of the horror comedy/drama Scream Queens unfurls itself, Curtis finds herself back in the hospital ward.
