Jamie Lee Curtis is saying goodbye to Michael Myers once and for all.
The Oscar-winning actress led the cult classic Halloween films for decades, but she has since parted ways with her on-screen counterpart Laurie Strode—and her belongings.
After filming her last movie in the franchise—2022's Halloween Ends—the scream queen, now 64, is ready to give up the last of her souvenirs from the iconic horror film set for an important cause.
As revealed in a new Instagram post shared on Tuesday, Oct. 10, Curtis is auctioning the "remaining items" from her "Halloween tenure" in the hopes of raising money for critically ill and injured children at Children's Hospital Los Angeles.
The Halloween memorabilia includes two of the engraved knives that Curtis gave to the crew at the end of 2021's Halloween Kills film, as a nod to Michael Myers' infamous weapon of choice.
The limited edition knives, engraved with the words, "HALLOWEEN KILLS . XO JLC," will each be signed by Curtis herself and dedicated to the auction winners if requested.
Another item is the one-of-a-kind custom director's chair back used by Curtis during the filming of Halloween Ends. One side bears her character's name, Laurie, while the flip side features the logo and title of the fictitious movie "Cave Dwellers," which was used by the Halloween cast and crew to "maintain secrecy and prevent leaks about the actual movie being filmed," according to Curtis' item description on the auction website.
Finally, Curtis added two rare, vintage-inspired Halloween lunchbox sets, which were released in a limited quantity in 2021 to commemorate Halloween Kills.
"This set became an instant collector's item and sold out almost immediately," she wrote, noting that she received two sets as gifts, which she is now using to raise money for the hospital.
The Everything Everywhere All at Once star also offered to sign and dedicate the chair back, as well as the two lunchbox sets, if requested by the winners.
Bidding is currently open until, of course, Halloween. Curtis has assured fans that 100% of the proceeds from the sale of the Halloween memorabilia will go to the children's hospital.
