and these characters are quite horrible. so much fun to film this. because we all kind of make fun of these movies. but to actually be in -- >> how much fun was it? >> it was amazing. i actually got to play a few different characters. because i am in the beginning in the real world. and die quite quickly. and my daughter comes into the film that i -- used to be the scream queen and gets to see me again and say her goodbye. so it's a really beautiful mother-daughter relationship we get to watch and it will pull at your heart strings a little bit. it's a little bit of everything. >> you have another film coming out "beyond deceit"? >> yeah, there's a few actors, al pacino and anthony hopkins, if you haven't heard of them, you will. >> they look familiar. and the other guy does too. >> they look familiar. you know their faces. yeah, it's really exciting. and again, another great -- that

jamie lee curtis is the final girl. >> scream queen, yeah. >> amazing. >> i remember as a kid watching "friday the 13th" wow, so that's what it's going to be like when i'm a teenager, hanging out at camp. thank god it was nothing like that. you're great. we love having you here. >> thank you. >> the "the final girls" is in select theaters and on demand today. coming up, some of the best places in the country to visit for halloween. that's after this. look, the wolf was huffing and puffing. like you do sometimes, grandpa? well, when you have copd, it can be hard to breathe. it can be hard to get air out, which can make it hard to get air in. so i talked to my doctor. she said... symbicort could help you breathe better, starting within 5 minutes. symbicort doesn't replace a rescue inhaler for sudden symptoms. symbicort helps provide significant improvement of your lung function. symbicort is for copd, including chronic bronchitis and emphysema. it should not be taken
