Jamie Lee Curtis´ Home Avoided By Trick-Or-Treaters On Halloween

Jamie Lee Curtis´ house gets bypassed by trick-or-treaters on Halloween each year.

The actress made an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Wednesday night (10Oct18) to promote her new movie Halloween, a direct sequel to the 1978 slasher film of the same name, in which she reprises her role as Laurie Strode and embarks on a mission to kill murderer Michael Myers.

While Jamie is famed for her Halloween movies, she admitted that the 31 October holiday is a rather quiet affair at her own home.

"Nobody comes to my house. I put the candy out, I always am hoping and then there´s the candy the next morning and I eat it," she laughed.

Host Jimmy then confessed that he hadn´t actually seen the new Halloween movie because he can´t stand scary films, though he had read positive reviews of the project. And interestingly, Jamie admitted that she is the same way.

"You and me," the 59-year-old smiled.

During the chat, Jamie also praised Jimmy´s late-night TV show and explained that she made an exception to be interviewed because the presenter is "such a good guy".

The chat then took an unexpected diversion into the actress´ other interests, including her sideline gig in inventing, which was triggered by an incident which occurred when she was changing her and husband Christopher Guest´s daughter Annie´s diaper when she was a baby, but couldn´t reach the wipes.

"In that moment, I said, ´Aha,´ I have to invent a diaper that has a wiper built into the diaper. And I invented ´Dipe and Wipe´ and I patented it," she recalled, adding that the product is not available to buy because at the time it felt "a little landfill-y," though biodegradable diapers can now be purchased.

The Freaky Friday star first filed a U.S. patent application for her idea in 1987.
