I know it’s a bit late, but i have this screenshot from a Mastodon post that is funny.
He absolutely traumatized me in IT when I was 8 years old, lol. Was scared of clowns for over a decade, until my boyfriend made me watch IT with him in our dorm room in 2010. I immediately had my fear of clowns cured because Tim Curry’s Pennywise is absolutely hilarious.
He had one of the most fun and interesting acting careers. So many crazy movies. Always a joy. He’s missed and I hope he passed surrounded by loved ones<3
Tim Curry was my first crush when I saw him playing a pirate in Muppet Treasure Island
TRHPS, but when I was younger he was the absolutely incredible Lord of Darkness in Legend. Also, Meg Mucklebones (swamp creature) was Robert Picardo, another fantastic job. The baddies in Legend were the best part of it.

Ron Gilbert, what a legend. If you haven’t played Thimbleweed Park you’ve been missing out.
I didn’t know it was Tim Curry, but I’m pretty sure that his performance that I saw was in “Legend”. Then most likely IT.
I don’t didn’t I played enough Wing Commander III (also feat. Mark Hamill, John Davies Rhys and other known actors, absolutely stacked for its time) to have met the character that Tim Curry voiced there, but I for sure played enough Toonstruck to have heard his acting there! Also an amazing game which features Christopher Lloyd.Thimbleweed Park is good. I’m sure the sequel is going to be good, too.

I know him as Long John Silver in Muppet Treasure Island… What age does that make me?
My favorite movie.
I say it’s the best Muppet movie, and there’s some stiff competition!
Tim Curry and Alan Rickman never starred in the same film together, TIL
Mr. Hector (the concierge) in Home Alone 2: Lost In New York (1992)
This for me too, I had Home Alone 2 recorded off the TV on VHS as a kid.
I still think of him as having a giant grinch grin
Welcome to Toonstruck! Mwahahaha
special room for special people!
Clue.
I just watched it (for the thirtieth time) in his honor.
Such a great movie I fell in love with the movie and the Butler the first time I saw it, and is on the list of “will watch repeatedly”
Born in ‘77, first saw him in Legend as Satan Himself. Much creepier than Pennywise if you ask me. I actually didn’t see Rocky Horror until my teens in the early 90s, I’ve seen it dozens of times since then. It’s my favorite role of his by far, he had so much fun and had a wonderful stage presence in it.
I LOVED Legend growing up. I did not recognize him as Tim Curry though, until later in life.

I just love when actors are clearly having a great time in their role. It makes me happy. RIP Tim Curry, truly we lost a good one.
