Was the old one actually any good?! Not that I don’t love Tim Curry!
As a child the very idea of it freaked me out so bad. My sister told me about one scene, and I think she was just bullshitting for effect, but it terrified me so much I could never bring myself to watch it till I was a lot older. Most annoying thing was that it was recorded onto VHS with Wayne’s World after it, so I’d also have to chance seeing a bit of it while trying to find the start of the next film, which always filled me with dread.
