Is Jamie Lee Curtis the killer in ‘Scream Queens’?

Jamie Lee Curtis is back where she started.

The star who made her name with such iconic late '70s/early '80s slasher classics as “Halloween,” “Prom Night” and (to a lesser extent) “Terror Train” shows up in the first trailer for Ryan Murphy's new series “Scream Queens,” and in the process almost recreates her famed “angry lunch” photos:

Theory: Jamie Lee Curtis is the killer here. Just spitballing! But think about what a delicious, ironic surprise that would be, given her storied background as a horror-movie victim. Or maybe it's too obvious? In any event, I can't think of a better use of her intimidating talents.

Also starring Emma Roberts, Lea Michele, Abigail Breslin and Nick Jonas, among others, “Scream Queens” is slated to premiere in September on FOX.

Watch the trailer above.
