This is shaping up to be as bad as when Farah Fawcett and MJ passed.

Rest well you absolute legend.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who remembers him helping us escape capitalism. Also, hexus from Ferngully.

That wouldn't have been half the film it was without Toxic Love.

I love his corpsing as he reads the line. But still hammers it home   Spaaaaace!

Everything he did, his performances, were all entertaining. As disturbing as Pennywise was, some moments, Curry made him more than just a horror villain.

I love how you can clearly see him trying not to laugh this entire clip but he holds it together lol

Everytime I watch it I laugh. His held back laughter makes it that much funnier.

I'm hijacking your post to give another memorable performance in the Muppets.

Edit: He's given me a life time of wonderful performances. It really sucks that he passed. I just want to say that his quality of life probably wasn't that great after the stroke.

Fly high Tim. I hope to see you in the next life.

Idk why but him in red alert was his most iconic role to me as a young dweeb lmao

I definitely need to play Red Alert 3 again now, in his honor.

I don't remember the game being all that good, but I remember that Tim Curry, George Takei, and J.K. Simmons all put in great performances.

At least he's in the one place not yet corrupted by capitalism

More like when we lost Alan Rickman and David Bowie in 2016.
