I am sure a lot of us remember this movie.
Just rewatched it today. Besides the obvious (super sexy, trippy 80s effects Tim Curry), I will say...I forgot Diana Rigg makes a great villain.

I didnt even know there was an 80s movie. I just remember the 90s TV show, which was pretty decent.

I can’t tell if Tim curry was bringing his A game or phoning it in That's Tim's secret: he always phones it in, but he phones it in so much it becomes A game. |

I am having NONE of that! Another observation...the villains (including double-roled Charlotte Rae) look kinda like the Sanderson sisters...roughly. I love the scene where, after the evil witches are transformed back and threaten Mildred, Mildred just stands there smiling with her arms crossed like it doesn't scare her at all now. |

“Growing up…. isn’t easy……”.
That song has lived rent free in the back of my mind for over 35 years and still enjoy it when it pops out from time to time.

One of the awesome things about Tim Curry is he sneaks brings his A game to even the most ridiculous roles. Which makes finding the times where he didn’t give a you-know-what and was sleepwalking it all the more awesome. The smile he wore in this movie liked less like his usual crazy guy smile and more like when you pose for high school photos. For as enthusiastic as he usually was at voice acting, you could tell in the pebble and the Penguin that he was counting the minutes. |

Still like the movie, despite all its faults. Then again, I grew up with it, since it was probably one of the first videos my parents rented for me to watch on Halloween, in 87 or 88, back when Halloween hadn't crossed the Atlantic to get to France, and my neighbours and I were probably the only homes celebrating it in the entire region.
The 90s show was okayish, the Weirdsister spinoff was meh, and the Bella Ramsey-led CBBC reboot was fun for what it was.
