Curtis captioned the picture: 'And that's a wrap.'

'Everybody who made the movie did so because of their passion for [screenwriters] John Carpenter and Debra Hill's original vision. 

'I think you will all be very happy and VERY scared.'

'See you 10/19/18.'

The starlet shared a portrait of herself taken on the set of the movie last Monday.

The actress sported wavy shoulder-length blonde hair for her character Laurie Strode.

She was also makeup free showing off a youthful vibe as she stood half in shadow.

Iconic role: Curtis, 59, is reprising the role for the fifth time in what's billed as a 'final confrontation' between her character and the masked murderer

She captioned the photo: 'Set self portrait of Laurie Strode 2018. A survivor and a protector.'

Curtis is reprising her John Carpenter-created character one final time for the horror movie set for release in October.

According to IMDb, it promises a 'final confrontation' between Strode and Michael Myers, 'the masked figure who has haunted her since she narrowly escaped his killing spree on Halloween night four decades ago.'   

Back in January 30, she had posted the first picture of herself from the set showing her standing next to director David Gordon Green who was holding a clapperboard.

Alternate reality: According to original director John Carpenter, the new Halloween picks up where the original left off and pretends none of the sequels happened

In September it was announced she would reprise her role in a reboot of the horror movie, which will be released nearly 40 years to the day the original film directed by John Carpenter hit theaters.

It will be the fifth time that Curtis, the daughter of Hollywood legends Janet Leigh and Tony Curtis, has played the role.

She debuted the character in the original 1978 film Halloween, then again in the 1981 sequel.

In 1998, she starred in Halloween H20: 20 years Later and again in 2002 in Halloween: Resurrection. 

So 1978: The original horror movie made an instant star of Curtis, the daughter of Hollywood legends Janet Leigh and Tony Curtis
