Tim Curry Appearances You May Have Forgotten
I think we can all agree that we love Tim Curry. He is a legend and one of the most talented actors out there. From stage to movies to voice acting, this guy can do it all.
He has been in some of the biggest cult classics, but he’s appeared in some much lesser known roles. I present to you, my Tim Curry fans, some obscure Tim Curry you may have forgotten or didn’t even know about.
We’ll start with the more known roles to the “he was in that too?” roles. This guy is everywhere.
Scary Movie 2 (2001)
Many of you may remember Tim Curry and his soup can nipples as Professor in the second installment of the Scary Movie franchise and some of you may not.
Congo (1995)
Tim Curry graced this movie as Herkermer Homolka and with a name like that how could we forget it?
The Wild Thornberrys (1998-2004)
Shout out to 90’s kids for this one. Curry voiced the quirky Nigel Thornberry. Not only was he a show favorite, but he makes one hell of a meme.
Annie (1982)
Not horror I know, but this movie always creeped me out as a child. And as an adult too, I’m not too ashamed to admit. Curry played Rooster Hannigan, a ne’er do well just trying to get money out of an orphan. Obviously not a great plan…cockadoodledoo.
Muppet Treasure Island (1996)
“Yo Ho, Yo Ho, a pirate’s life for me!” Did you miss him as Long John Silver? Well, here ya go!
Addams’ Family Reunion (1998)
Granted, not the best Addams’ Family movie, but it exists and Curry stars as Gomez. Take a look, cara mia.
Scooby Doo and the Witch’s Ghost (1999)
I don’t care how old I am, I love this movie and I want to be a Hex Girl. Curry voiced Ben Ravencroft, the apple of Velma’s eye and a suspicious character.
Ferngully: The Last Rainforest (1992)
For any child of the 90’s, this movie brings back memories. Curry voiced Hexxus, the oddly sexual pollution…demon thing trapped inside of a tree, only to be let out by dumb humans. If you are confused by my “oddly sexual” comment, here’s the song for you.
Tales from the Crypt (1993)
Bet you didn’t remember he was in the episode called, “Death of Some Salesman.” He played Ma, Pa and Winona Brackett. His make-up in this episode is out of this world good.
Psych (2007)
Tim Curry appeared in season 2, episode 1 of Psych in an episode called “American Duos.” He played snarky Nigel St. Nigel, the hardass judge on reality singing program that made fun of “American Idol”. This is one of my favorite episodes in the series and he is funny as hell.
Burke and Hare (2010)
Curry showed up in this movie as Dr. Monro. The movie is about two grave robbers who gather bodies for a medical school.
The Worst Witch (1986)
I saved this one for last because it is my personal favorite. It stars Fairuza Balk as small witch (apparently Nancy had to get a head start) that is the worst at the Witches’ Academy. Tim Curry just has a cameo in this movie as the Grand Wizard but it is GLORIOUS. Check it out.
I could listen to this on repeat, all day long.
This list in no way represents everything. Honestly, there’s just too much to name. Tim Curry has voice acted in more cartoons than I can list (examples being Rugrats, Aaahh!!! Real Monsters, Phineas and Ferb, and Gargoyles), appeared in cameos, starred in multiple movies and we can’t get enough of him.
If this didn’t sate your Tim Curry appetite, check out these old polaroids from filming Rocky Horror.

First Look: On Set of ‘Welcome to Derry’ & Interview with Andy Muschietti
Rising from the sewers, drag performer and horror movie enthusiast The Real Elvirus took her fans behind the scenes of the MAX series Welcome to Derry in an exclusive hot-set tour. The show is scheduled to release sometime in 2025, but a firm date has not been set.
Filming is taking place in Canada in Port Hope, a stand-in for the fictional New England town of Derry located within the Stephen King universe. The sleepy location has been transformed into a township from the 1960s.
Welcome to Derry is the prequel series to director Andrew Muschietti’s two-part adaptation of King’s It. The series is interesting in that it’s not only about It, but all the people who live in Derry — which includes some iconic characters from the King ouvre.
Elvirus, dressed as Pennywise, tours the hot set, careful not to reveal any spoilers, and speaks with Muschietti himself, who reveals exactly how to pronounce his name: Moose-Key-etti.
The comical drag queen was given an all-access pass to the location and uses that privilege to explore props, facades and interview crew members. It’s also revealed that a second season is already greenlit.
Take a look below and let us know what you think. And are you looking forward to the MAX series Welcome to Derry?

New Trailer For This Year’s Nauseating ‘In a Violent Nature’ Drops
We recently ran a story about how one audience member who watched In a Violent Nature became sick and puked. That tracks, especially if you read the reviews after its premiere at this year’s Sundance Film Festival where one critic from USA Today said it had “The gnarliest kills I’ve ever seen.”
What makes this slasher unique is that it’s mostly viewed from the killer’s perspective which may be a factor in why one audience member tossed their cookies during a recent screening at Chicago Critics Film Fest.
Those of you with strong stomachs can watch the movie upon its limited release in theaters on May 31. Those who want to be closer to their own john can wait until it releases on Shudder sometime after.
For now, take a look at the newest trailer below:

James McAvoy Leads a Stellar Cast in the New Psychological Thriller “Control”
James McAvoy is back in action, this time in the psychological thriller “Control”. Known for his ability to elevate any film, McAvoy’s latest role promises to keep audiences on the edge of their seats. Production is now underway, a joint effort between Studiocanal and The Picture Company, with filming taking place in Berlin at Studio Babelsberg.
“Control” is inspired by a podcast by Zack Akers and Skip Bronkie and features McAvoy as Doctor Conway, a man who wakes up one day to the sound of a voice that begins to command him with chilling demands. The voice challenges his grip on reality, pushing him towards extreme actions. Julianne Moore joins McAvoy, playing a key, enigmatic character in Conway’s story.
The ensemble cast also includes talented actors such as Sarah Bolger, Nick Mohammed, Jenna Coleman, Rudi Dharmalingam, Kyle Soller, August Diehl, and Martina Gedeck. They’re directed by Robert Schwentke, known for the action-comedy “Red,” who brings his distinctive style to this thriller.
Besides “Control,” McAvoy fans can catch him in the horror remake “Speak No Evil,” set for a September 13 release. The film, also featuring Mackenzie Davis and Scoot McNairy, follows an American family whose dream holiday turns into a nightmare.
With James McAvoy in a leading role, “Control” is poised to be a standout thriller. Its intriguing premise, coupled with a stellar cast, makes it one to keep on your radar.
