Jamie Lee Curtis’ HalloweenEnds wig found new life in Jennifer Grey’s upcoming Lifetime movie, 'Gwen Shamblin: Starving for Salvation.'
The Halloween fandom was pretty torn by the third and final installment in David Gordon Green’s Halloween trilogy. Halloween Ends saw Jamie Lee Curtis’ final girl Laurie Strode face down the boogeyman in a no holds barred fight to the death with only one of them walking away. And, although viewers couldn’t seem to agree on whether they loved or hated what is allegedly Curtis’ last appearance as the plagued babysitter, there was one aspect of the movie that brought us all together—the wigs.
Whether you thought the film itself was good or bad, there’s no denying that the wigs worn by Curtis were a thing of absolute legend. And, while Laurie Strode may never make an appearance again, the same can’t be said for one of her looks as Jennifer Grey recently revealed that she’ll be wearing one of Curtis’ hairpieces in her upcoming Lifetime movie, Gwen Shamblin: Starving for Salvation.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY For those who may not know, Shamblin was a religious leader who led a diet-centered cult called the Weigh Down Workshop in the 1980s before founding the Remnant Fellowship Church in the late ‘90s. Shamblin went on to lead a heavily publicized life that would end tragically for her and several church members back in 2021.
When she got ahold of Pickens, Grey says he was more than happy to help, adding that he could “repurpose Jamie’s old wig from Halloween Ends” and use it as the new wig’s “base.” Grey went on to explain that the very “first wig” seen sitting atop her head in Starving for Salvation is one of those iconic wigs from Halloween Ends.
Even though we may not see Curtis in any more head-turning looks as Laurie Strode, it’s great to know that not only does the wig live on in spirit, but that it also helped to form another larger-than-life character. You can see the wig in action when Gwen Shamblin: Starving for Salvation lands on Lifetime on February 4 and, if you want to learn more about the real-life woman behind the cult check out HBO Max’s docuseries, The Way Down: God, Greed and the Cult of Gwen Shamblin.
