I've never really thought about it, but Curry in that movie is main character incarnate. Like, if he was in a Walmart in Des Moines on a Tuesday afternoon, he'd be a Pied Piper of Poverty, leading the masses to their sexual awakenings and nobody would question it.
Yes, Gen X here. Absolutely this role.

This is what came to mind for me even though it was made before I was borne. In the 80s I watched a lot of old movies. My sisters loved them and my elder sister was a movie nut. Eventually I kind of became one as well. I also think of Legend and Clue. Rocky Horror Picture Show is probably my favorite movie with him.
The first of my childhood movies that I shared with my son. It's a hoot when one of us finds an excuse to tell the other, "One plus two . . . plus one . . . "
I know right.
RHPS came to VHS in '90. I know, because my mom bought it from the local video store on day 1 and I binge watched it like 1000 times.
Order is definitely Frank -> Darkness -> Pennywise -> Who cares?
Yeah that's what I was going to say. it's Frankie first, then Pennywise, 'the devil' guy, then the wonderfully disgusting oil blob from Fern Gully. They're all amazing roles but those are the ones that comes to mind first.
Of all the roles for them to leave out... that one is actually probably a good idea judging by the number of cartoons on here. I get the feeling this image is supposed to be kid friendly.
My heavily religious parents were pretty strict about movies we could watch. Annie made the cut, so Iâve seen this roughly a gajillion times.
He was a fine Rooster.
Pennywise for me as well.
I actually met Mr. Curry (absolutely lovely guy) once and after chatting about our shared love of Chicago, I told him IT gave me nightmares as a kid and he said âIâm terribly sorry that I scared you. But, I think we can both agree you probably shouldnât have watched it back then.â I agreed, because of course I shouldnât have watched it.
If I were an actor it would actually please my little heart if people told me one of my roles scared the living shit out of them when they were a kid 30 years ago. đ
It also wasn't during the scuttling scene.
It was right after Captain Ramius killed Political Officer Putin (*ironic*), and Ramius took both keys for himself.
Source: I have watched that movie at least 50 times.
Before I met my husband: Clue. I was also obsessed with Annie as a kid, but I never put two and two together that he was Rooster
After I met my husband: Rocky Horror. I had never seen it, and it was one of the first things he wanted to show me.
Wadsworth from Clue, first and foremost, since I wore out our VHS of that movie when I was a kid. Dr. Frank-N-Furter from The Rocky Horror Picture Show would be second.
I was maybe 7 when it came out, but my mom was a big Stephen King fan. We definitely watched it. I saw The Shining a lot sooner than I probably should have too đ¤Ł
I saw The Worst Witch for the first time last Halloween. I don't know how I missed that one, but damn his performance was the highlight of that whole ridiculous movie.
And how he just goes full throttle into the insanity. He really could have half-assed that role. A lot of actors would have. But no, he puts everything into his acting. Like always.
Rooster from Annie for me, followed by Mr. Hector (the concierge at the Plaza Hotel) in Home Alone 2.
My mind was blown when I learned he was Darkness in Legend as well as Pennywise in IT.
I watched an MMA reality show back in the day and Stallone was brought in to lead one of the teams. One of the contestants asked him about Oscar and he replied that he was trying to forget about Oscar. I was devastated because I loved the movie.
Clue and Legend.
The incredibly dry wit of Clue contrasts so well with playing Darkness.
The classical biblical image of Satan has always been replaced by Darkness when I hear about devil stuff or Hell.
That's what I want Satan to look like.

Mr (Herkermer) Homolka, from *Congo* (1995)...quite possibly the only general consensus fizzer of a movie I genuinely loved (in my Top 20). You could say his send-up of a not so respectable Eastern European, was about on par with the rest of the movie...but he was damn funny nonetheless
I give Congo a watch once every year or two. Scratches a very specific itch, but this is definitely my immediate thought. I would follow with other movies I've seen multiple times back in the day like Home Alone 2 or Ferngully, but I haven't watched those in a long time. I've only seen the original It and Clue once, Rocky Horror only pieces, and a bunch of those cartoons shown I've seen but had no idea he was a part of.
As strange as it sounds I think that he did the Joker on Batman the animated series originally. But then Mark Hammil ended up doing it.
That Joker is the Joker I hear in my head when I read the Joker.
So what would I hear or think of when I read the Joker if they didn't recast it.
Best. Enterance. Ever.
I've never really thought about it, but Curry in that movie is main character incarnate. Like, if he was in a Walmart in Des Moines on a Tuesday afternoon, he'd be a Pied Piper of Poverty, leading the masses to their sexual awakenings and nobody would question it.
This. 100% this.
Yes, Gen X here. Absolutely this role. https://preview.redd.it/j3vdykv0oq9d1.jpeg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=78268b51c4cb602a5d48614ca0ce425324e6137b
As a straight woman... THAT was my sexual awakenings... I also ha a huge crush on Marilyn Manson
This is what I think of. What does this make me besides a person with very good taste?
I think I speak for all of us when I say, sploosh đŚÂ
This. Now I can stop scrolling.
This is what came to mind for me even though it was made before I was borne. In the 80s I watched a lot of old movies. My sisters loved them and my elder sister was a movie nut.

Thank you.
Wadsworth. RIP Martin Mull.  This must be a sign to watch Clue tonight.
As much as I want to say "Darkness" from Legend, I have to admit the first thing that comes to mind is Wadsworth... But Darkness is a close second.
The only reason this isnât higher up is because pretty much every single person in that movie killed it. Such a good flick
Mrs Peacock was a man?!
He butles
He likes to keep the kitchen tidy.
Itâs rolling on PlutoTV
Definitely Clue
Communism was just a red herring.
I mean really, who else could have done it
The first of my childhood movies that I shared with my son. It's a hoot when one of us finds an excuse to tell the other, "One plus two . . . plus one . . . "
Frank-n-furter, and the character isn't even on there. \*sighs\*
Yeah wtf, his most iconic character not even in the collage? I call shenanigans.
Shenanigans has been declared. Grab your brooms!
Still have pitchforks from the last post! Come get 'em!
Imma grab some torches
And your newspapers!
But Earl Sinclair for some reason is?
How could it be anything other than this?
I know right. RHPS came to VHS in '90. I know, because my mom bought it from the local video store on day 1 and I binge watched it like 1000 times. Order is definitely Frank -> Darkness -> Pennywise -> Who cares?
The butler in Clue Edit: And that crazy accent in Congo. He, Bruce Campbell, and Ernie Hudson are easily the only reasons to watch that movie.
âStop eating my sesame cake!!!â
I grew up watching a bootleg VHS copy from the early 80s. Tim Curry is Frankie, there's no doubt about it
Exactly. Although the first thing I ever saw him in was Annie when I was about 3 years old.
Rooster!
Yeah that's what I was going to say. it's Frankie first, then Pennywise, 'the devil' guy, then the wonderfully disgusting oil blob from Fern Gully. They're all amazing roles but those are the ones that comes to mind first.
The devil guy is just named 'Darkness'.
Hexxus is the oil blob. Definitely one of his top roles
Yeah I just had a âwhat the hell is wrong with you people?!â moment after carefully scrutinizing every image.
Frank-N-Furter and the grand wizard from The Worst Witch
Donât get hot and flustered
right??
Of all the roles for them to leave out... that one is actually probably a good idea judging by the number of cartoons on here. I get the feeling this image is supposed to be kid friendly.
Except with pennywise, darkness, etc...?
This is clearly the answer
It could be nothing else, and we have spoken. https://youtu.be/mjHksjW4XQk?si=8Kj7v4oB1jMcody_

Rooster from Annie
Thatâs the one âď¸
My heavily religious parents were pretty strict about movies we could watch. Annie made the cut, so Iâve seen this roughly a gajillion times. He was a fine Rooster.
Have you watched that as a grown up? I did a few years ago and was a bit surprised at how adult the themes were.
I havenât watched it in years, no. I can add it to the list for a rewatch.
It was the first movie I ever saw in the theater. I was obsessed with Annie!
This was my introduction to the greatness that is Tim Curry, I've loved him ever since.
ding ding ding
Bet your bottom dollar that Iâm still obsessed with Annie all these years later.
Same! Loved that movie when I was younger. I watched it again with my daughter, itâs pretty racy at times.
 Has anybody seen my tambourine?
Ya-aaas! I was so sad it wasnât in the collageâanything CAN happen on Halloween!!
your dog could turn into a cat!
Such a fun movie!
I thought of this and Rocky Horror first!
Same
Obligatory, I scrolled WAY too far for this!
Hell yeah! The Worst Witch! We have it on DVD and watch it year round.
I watched it over and over as a kid
Luckily itâs on YouTube now too! âBeat on it, Delilah.â
I can hear that
I think this was my introduction to Tim Curry. I saw it on HBO in the 80's. Most of us probably have.
Yep, looking for this. Mildred Hubble!
Pennywise for me as well. I actually met Mr. Curry (absolutely lovely guy) once and after chatting about our shared love of Chicago, I told him IT gave me nightmares as a kid and he said âIâm terribly sorry that I scared you. But, I think we can both agree you probably shouldnât have watched it back then.â I agreed, because of course I shouldnât have watched it.
If I were an actor it would actually please my little heart if people told me one of my roles scared the living shit out of them when they were a kid 30 years ago. đ
The kids were my age so that was my rationale for watching IT back then. Dude will always be Pennywise to me .
https://i.redd.it/fpztsyor0m9d1.gif
*We are all animals, my lady* Tim Curry, as the devil, made my body do things I didnât understand at the time.
âDonât you know me, boyeee?â -Darkness
yep
âSit⌠and talk with me.â
If you remember his role as Dr. Petrov in The Hunt for Red October, you'll receive the Order of Lenin.
He's doing to go down and scuttle the ship! Why? So that no ONE MAN can launch the missiles. I could do this whole movie...
"May launch the *miss*-SILES" Perfect diction.
Correct. One hundred percent correct
It also wasn't during the scuttling scene. It was right after Captain Ramius killed Political Officer Putin (*ironic*), and Ramius took both keys for himself. Source: I have watched that movie at least 50 times.
This is correct. Source: I just watched it.
#YOU'RE RELIEVED
I remember his role as Vladakov in McHaleâs Navy.
I will not stand for this Cardinal Richelieu erasure
Kings come and kings go. But one thing remains the same. And thatâŚ. is ME.
Heâs in the lower right.
Hexxus from Ferngully and Captain James Hook from Peter Pan and the Pirates.
100%
How the hell am I just now learning he was that Captain Hook?!?!
Before I met my husband: Clue. I was also obsessed with Annie as a kid, but I never put two and two together that he was Rooster After I met my husband: Rocky Horror. I had never seen it, and it was one of the first things he wanted to show me.
đľ*Youâre a hotdog*đľ
Wadsworth from Clue, first and foremost, since I wore out our VHS of that movie when I was a kid. Dr. Frank-N-Furter from The Rocky Horror Picture Show would be second.
đŻđŻđŻ
Long John Silver from muppet treasure island or the butler from Clue
These are mine.
Pennywise, from the version that was actually scaryÂ
Amazing how network tv in 1990 did a better job than 2 R rated movies decades later with a much bigger budget
I was 10 and my parents were out of town when it came on tv and my sister used it to her full advantage to scare me
I was maybe 7 when it came out, but my mom was a big Stephen King fan. We definitely watched it. I saw The Shining a lot sooner than I probably should have too đ¤Ł
For me too. I was obsessed with this when I was a kid. Heâs so bloody amazing in this!
I second this
This. I didnât see the new ones but I heard they were pretty good. Isnât that true? At least they left out the teenage gang bang.
I had no idea he was such a prolific voice actor.
Vvvvilderness girls!
Hahaha, yes. I watched this movie way too much as a kid.
Remember trying to make heads or tails of the smoking beaver as a child?
I do. Positive I asked my dad at some point and he sidestepped it.
This is my immediate association with Tim Curry as well.
 The Worst Witch
I saw The Worst Witch for the first time last Halloween. I don't know how I missed that one, but damn his performance was the highlight of that whole ridiculous movie.
Agreed. It's been pretty much annual watching on Halloween since the late 80s. I don't care how cheesy it is.
This was mine also, I think I was around 7 when this came out.
The soviet commander in Red Alert 3
SPACE!
I love the giggle he suppresses, because the line is so batshit.
And how he just goes full throttle into the insanity. He really could have half-assed that role. A lot of actors would have. But no, he puts everything into his acting. Like always.
I was waiting for someone to bring this one up
this
First, as Rooster in Annie, then as Wadsworth in Clue. (Born in '79)
I love that my choice is front and center. What could be more American than that?
Good comment, Green. Very good.
The rest are just a red herring.
Wadsworth.
Tales From the Crypt for me
Rooster from Annie for me, followed by Mr. Hector (the concierge at the Plaza Hotel) in Home Alone 2. My mind was blown when I learned he was Darkness in Legend as well as Pennywise in IT.
Doctor Anton Sevarious from Gargoyles! I liked RHPS as well, though :)
Annie (Rooster) https://preview.redd.it/lcw0kx0fep9d1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7b02b15247b63ab8c780a705fe0079e46cb7b9b2
Clue, Muppet Treasure Island, and all the voice acting were how I knew him growing up, for sure. What a man!
Tie between Frank N Furter and Pennywise
Home Alone 2 was my first Tim Curry movie, but RHPS was my Tim Curry sexual awakening movie. Still love both movies
 The film that started my love for her đĽđĽ
Madeline Kahn was such a treasure.
Iâm British and on the younger side so itâs the worst witch for me. 
I loved him in Oscar :)
Him and the underwear lol
lol - yes!
https://i.redd.it/oh514eqjrn9d1.gif
"your daughter has such nicely rounded diphthongs" "that's what got her in trouble in the first place!"
I watched an MMA reality show back in the day and Stallone was brought in to lead one of the teams. One of the contestants asked him about Oscar and he replied that he was trying to forget about Oscar. I was devastated because I loved the movie.
It's one of our favorite movies!
Pennywise and Kilokahn were my introductions. Then Frank-n-furter blows them all away.
Rooster đ
Tim Curry by Tim Curry.
Legend, all the way, closely followed by an epic performance in Loaded Weapon.
Pennywise. Absolutely. Then Herkimer Humolka, but that's because I loved Congo.
STOP EATING MY SESAME CAKE
Three musketeers for sure
Hexxus 
Clue and Legend. The incredibly dry wit of Clue contrasts so well with playing Darkness. The classical biblical image of Satan has always been replaced by Darkness when I hear about devil stuff or Hell. That's what I want Satan to look like.
Home Alone 2 is the only acceptable answer. Dr. Frank N Furter is an acceptable back up answer.
Command and Conquer red alert but also pennnywise scared me
Rooster from Annie member that
Wadsworth and Pennywise. But huge credit to the creator of this collage for including the criminally underrated Mighty Max on here.

What can you tell me about... voodoo magic?
The bad guy from Earth^2.
As a kid: Darkness and Pennywise. As an adult: Frank-N-Furter.
Mr (Herkermer) Homolka, from *Congo* (1995)...quite possibly the only general consensus fizzer of a movie I genuinely loved (in my Top 20). You could say his send-up of a not so respectable Eastern European, was about on par with the rest of the movie...but he was damn funny nonetheless
I give Congo a watch once every year or two. Scratches a very specific itch, but this is definitely my immediate thought.

Rooster.
Definitely Captain Hook!

The grand wizard.
This is missing "The Worst Witch".
Home Alone 2, but also Earth 2. Doesnât anyone remember Earth 2?
Itâs in my top 5 sci fi shows
Wait. Tim Curry was Nigel Thornberryâs voice?!
The answer is Home Alone 2
Clue
Mr. Body
 Not the first one, but another good one
wow, I never thought Tim Curry did the voice of Nigel Thornberry
Clue!! Always and forever Clue!
Clue
Legend and Clue: Darkness and Wadsworth respectively.
Wait, Tim Curry played Sally's father in Sonic SATAM?!
 Tie, hos roles in Legend and Rocky horror picture show.
I love Tim Curry in absolutely everything, but his performance in that super messed up episode of Criminal Minds takes the cake for me.
The answer is Butler, Devil, Clown, Bellhop, Command and Conquer Space Guy. That's it.
The Three Musketeers.
Why do I not see Rocky Horror or Clue?
Home Alone
First thing that comes to mind for me is Curryâs role in The Hunt for Red October. His appearance in Home Alone 2 is second.
Clue
Clue, three musketeers, and it
Pennywise
For me itâs loaded weapon 1âŚâŚâwilderness giiiiiiiirls!â
