We are heartbroken by the passing of Tim Curry, a true icon who taught so many of us how to embrace the weird and the dark.

Some of his most iconic roles include Pennywise in IT, Dr. Frank-N-Furter in THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW, and Darkness in LEGEND. Whatever part he played, his talent for the macabre was undeniably his own.

Throughout his career, he gave us a staggering number of unforgettable spooky performances, including The Grand Wizard in THE WORST WITCH, Wadsworth in CLUE, the sinister voice of Hexxus in FERNGULLY: THE LAST RAINFOREST, and memorable roles in TALES FROM THE CRYPT, SCARY MOVIE 2, and his recent return to the genre in STREAM.

Our thoughts are with his family, friends, and fans everywhere.
