    Whenever I think of Pennywise I think of the original IT when he excelled. RIP.

    Ah man, all the best 80-year-olds are leaving us this week.  

    Home Alone 2 and Muppet Treasure Island feel like such massive parts of my childhood.

    RIP Tim Curry.

    Ironically was in that film Legend as Satan. Rocky Horror was another level when I watched it as a kid and his Pennywise still gives me the creeps. Him and Dolly both leaving us, starts making me feel old now as well. RIP Tim.

    He turned clowns from fun to horror and that’s a great legacy. RIP

    More sad news. He was brilliant in the Rocky Horror Picture Show/Rocky Horror Show.

    Spent far too many hours playing Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 with friends when I was younger and his performance was incredible. My friends and I regularly quote his lines to this day.

    RIP

    Rough 24 hours for legendary talents. 

    So many wonderful characters and performances. He terrified me as IT and made me smile during Muppet Tresure Island as a kid. 

    Made anything that he was in worth watching. 

    RIP  :'(
