    Of course. I took my uncle to midnight showing, and the guy in front of him heard him disparaging the "hippies" around the theater. When Dr Frank-N-Furter came down the elevator, the guy stood up, and when Dr. F made his reveal, the guy spun around to face my uncle, and yanked his long coat open to reveal a full Dr F costume. It traumatized my uncle for life.

    Seems silly, but I most remember him from his brief stint on Psych playing Nigel St. Nigel, a knockoff Simon Cowell.

    I think he did a guest showing on Monk too.

    And also as Nigel from the Wild Thornberrys.

    You really can't, because a lot of Curry's best works have become timeless classics that have gone on to gain new fans. I certainly wasn't alive for the original theatrical run of Rocky Horror Picture Show or the broadcast of the IT tv series, but they're the first two that come to mind.

    You certainly were and are alive for Rocky Horror Picture Show's original theatrical release because it is still on it. It has been continuously shown in theaters since it came out. It is the longest running release in movie history as well as most played movie in terms of numbers of showings in history. And it just had a 4k release for its 50th anniversary, also on its original theatrical run.

    Clue
    Three Musketeers
    Pirates of Penzance

    But let's be honest, he raises the bar in basically any role.

    I remember him most from Clue though I probably saw him in The Shadow first.

    Obviously there are no wrong answers here. But the only reason to see Congo was that you heard Tim Curry was in it.

    You can't possibly go see everything Bruce Campbell makes. He's in everything. He's in your own house right now, making toast and smarmy remarks about the decor in your kitchen.

    That was one of the greatest music videos I've ever seen. Thank you so much for sharing!

    Aw, yay!! That makes me happy. :) You're so very welcome! I genuinely thank you for sharing that with me and for thanking me. It may be pathetic, but it made my shitty day. :)

    I love that band so much. They've been putting out great music for ages and should definitely be more popular. Kind of like a hard rock/metal Weird Al type of situation where the lyrics are often funny or silly, but the music is actually genuinely good and the musicians are pretty talented. They do both parodies and original songs. Plus, they tour a lot, have great live shows, and tickets are affordable. They also all seem like good dudes.

    Anywho, I'll stop rambling and leave you with a link to another of my favorites of theirs, in case you may be interested. It's called 'Because Boobs,' and you'll never guess what it's about!

    I hope you have a great day/night, fellow Bruce Campbell enjoyer! :)

    For me, I relate Tim Curry with:

    The Rocky Horror Picture Show
    Home Alone 2
    Command and Coquer: Red Alert
    Furngully

    Im sure I've seen him in many many other things but those always come to mind. Sad what happened to him though.

  • Thanks! I'd forgotten about his joining them. Had to look it up (he was in the episode they returned to Kai's home planet. Of course it's all excentric costumes & mad singing. Essentially, the whole species is a tribute to Rocky Horror Picture Show. Of course Tim Curry is key to making a proper tribute).
