LOS ANGELES, Sept. 16 (UPI) -- Jamie Lee Curtis recreated the famous Psycho shower scene for Scream Queens this week. The 56-year-old actress re-enacted the well-known scene for a special episode of the upcoming FX series. Curtis' mom, late actress Janet Leigh, starred as Marion Crane in Psycho in 1960, and told the New York Times in 1995 she had avoided showers since the film.

"Just recreated, with help from the amazing crew, a shot by shot of my mother's famous shower scene from Hitchcock's PSYCHO for @screamqueensfox #screamqueens," Curtis captioned a side-by-side comparison on Instagram.
"Ryan Murphy and co. wrote it into a special episode and it felt right!" she shared. "Honoring the Royal legend that is/was/will always be, Janet Leigh. Thought all fans of the genre would love it! #honorthymother [photo by] @joaquin_sedillo."
Curtis will portray college dean Cathy Munsch on Scream Queens, with Emma Roberts as sorority president Chanel and Skyler Samuels as the pledge Grace. The horror-comedy investigates a series of murders on a college campus, and will premiere Sept. 22.
