Another celebrity death was in the news yesterday.
Following Dolly Parton's passing comes Tim Curry.
I suppose the first time I ever came across Curry was when I watched Annie as a child. I got to watch it a fair deal back then because it was one of the titles my uncle rented out from his video store back in the early 80s. My uncle is linked with another Tim Curry memory as well because, this time in the 1990s, we were at my aunt and uncle's home one summer and watched the miniseries of Stephen King's It over two nights when it first aired on Sky.
Curry's portrayal of Pennywise the clown was brill. I haven't seen the newer It movies, nor Welcome to Derry, so I cannot comment on the current version of the monster.
Before I click 'Publish', I should point out one regret I have from this morning. I should have put these socks on today:
They're of Tim Curry's version of Pennywise. I first wrote about them in THIS POST from 2023. You'll find that, of the eight pairs if socks - with horror movie characters on them - the 1990 Pennywise one is likely the best of the bunch.
