WARNING: The following article contains minor spoilers for Halloween, in theaters now.


Director David Gordon Green has confirmed that  Jamie Lee Curtis has a secret second role in the new Halloween.

Returning to the roots of the horror franchise, Green's film is a direct sequel to John Carpenter's 1978 classic, and hones in on Curtis as Laurie Strode confronts her fears 40 years later. Ignoring the movies that came in between, Curtis reprises her role as the hardened survivor for the first time since 2002's Halloween: Resurrection. But did anyone spot her other role in the new film?

While promoting Halloween, Green revealed to journalists that Curtis provided the sound of a crying baby in one of the movie's most disturbing scenes. "She does this fucking baby cry," he said, "and so when we got really close, we used a real baby cry. As you hear it coming around, you can hear a baby's cry softly in the background. It's her. But that was just a last-minute idea."

One of Michael's early victims is a woman bludgeoned to death in her own kitchen. The brutal scene is followed by the sound of the crying baby and the shocking possibility that Myers could kill the newborn.

Curtis' second role was so last-minute because the scene wasn't even supposed to be in Green's Halloween. "At the last minute, we're like, 'there's this boring gap here,'" he revealed. "So it was going to be her husband asleep on the sofa and it's like, 'Who gives a shit about her husband sleeping on the sofa? Whatever.' But a baby crying, you're like, 'Oh, there's an ethical choice here.'"

As it stands, Halloween's ambiguous ending left the door open for Michael's return, while producer Jason Blum has expressed interest in a sequel if the first movie is a success. Halloween is already a record-breaking hit and continues a run of horror resurgence, following the likes of Get Out, It and Hereditary.

Now in theaters, Halloween is directed by David Gordon Green from a script written with Danny McBride and Jeff Fradley. The film stars Jamie Lee Curtis, Judy Greer and Andi Matichak, with Nick Castle and James Jude Courtney sharing the role of Michael Myers. The film is executive produced and scored by John Carpenter.
