Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping the work of Tim Curry into the ol’ VCR. 

Now, babies, don’t you panic. 

If you were ever doubtful about Tim Curry getting his own spotlight, I hope today eases your mind. 

Much like Doris Day and other actors we’ve shone the spotlight on, Tim Curry played such a major part in my childhood, and he stars in so many of my comfort movies. 

However, you don’t need me to tell you how iconic Tim Curry is; his filmography speaks for itself. 

My staring at myself in every single Zoom meeting 

He’s Dr. Frank-N-Furter, Wadsworth, and Pennywise. He manipulated Annie away from Daddy Warbucks. He’s sailed the high seas with the Muppets and procured a limousine and cheese pizza for Macaulay Culkin. 

He even pops up in classics like Charlie’s Angels and Scary Movie 2. Yes, I’m calling Scary Movie 2 a classic. No, don’t think too much about it. 

He’s a Legend. See what I did there?

I want to see these two on The White Lotus 

I could Con-go on forever making film puns based on Tim Curry’s resume, but I think I should probably refrain. 

Without further ado, here are four of my favorite Tim Curry movies and one miniseries (I dare you to guess): 

Rocky Horror Picture Show: I see you shiver with antici………pation for the rest of this list. 

Clue: The real start of my interest in true crime. 

Home Alone 2: Lost In New York: I’ve been too scared to ask room service for more towels, let alone all of the luxuries Kevin does.

It: As someone who has lived through my fair share of unprecedented events, I wouldn’t even flinch at the sight of Pennywise. 

Annie: Do you remember the clip from Annie that HBO would always show, or are you normal?
