He even buttled, in my selection for this episode, the movie Clue.

In 1990, he terrified everyone as Pennywise the Clown in the TV adaptation of Stephen King's It.

It's an unforgettable performance that may have helped start the whole clowns are scary thing, with all respect to the killer clowns from outer space.

Tim Curry's distinctive voice and style made him a major presence in animation and children's movies, too.

He played the villainous Hexus in Ferngully, and he voiced Nigel Thornberry in The Wild Thornberries.

Even worked with the Muppets, all favorite film genres of mine.

But he also had a unique presence and a mystique, a spell cast under him that was irresistible.

The first times I encountered him on screen would have been in the film adaptation of Annie in 1982, as the butler in the movie Clue from 1985, and as Pennywise the Clown in the 1990 miniseries of Stephen King's It.

Six Flags is making the same premium bet with The Conjuring, Beyond Fear, a 20-minute low-throughput upcharge while playing the value side at the same time.

It just ran its biggest annual pass sale.

It is a daytime, guide-led walkthrough through the event's haunted houses with the work lights on and the scare actors off the clock.

This means you can stop, study the sets, ask how the effects work, and take photos, none of which you can do at night.

Children of the night, what music they make.

It's

alive!

It's

alive!

Well, hello, all you monster fiends.

And I am joined, as always, by Dan from Bleeding Marvelous.

Say hello, Dan.

I was like, oh, I thought it was a film.

I thought it was a film.

It is a film.

I feel like it's a film.

I'm pretty sure it's a film.

This one, of course, takes place in the small town of Derry, Maine, during the summer of 1989, when a shape-shifting monster... disguises Pennywise the dancing cloud who cloud clown who is played by Bill Skarsgård begins kidnapping children and there are seven outcast teenagers and they are known as the losers club and they all must conquer their individual fears to try and destroy this creature that has been terrorizing the children of Derry for years

yes Yeah, it is a good film in all fairness.

It's a great film.

Let me see if I can find that.

It's got to be in there somewhere.

Vamp

for a second.

I think it holds up.

We saw it with the kids not too terribly long ago.

It's funny.

Like, it's really genuinely funny.
