What do you know today that you didn't know yesterday?
RE: What do you know today that you didn't know yesterday?

(Note: It had been a long-ass time since I had seen the movie, and at the time, the Tim Curry roles I was familiar with either had him in shittons of makeup [whether it's as Pennywise or even Frank], were shot after he gained weight, or were just voiceover. I guess it took me watching Clue to finally recognise him.)

Plus, it seems like most of the other guests were played by the Transylvanian extras. Columbia even plays an Emily Dickinson lookalike during "Dammit Janet". A carryover from the original stage production? A half-done homage to the "And you were in it" aspects of Wizard of Oz? A Hereditary-style situation where practically everyone we see is either part of Frank's cult or will be by the end? You make the call!

Many years after I first went to the cult weekly showing of this (dragged kicking and screaming) by my friends, I found I still had rice in my blue blazer pockets.  Angel
I remember I especially enjoyed the "script" from the audience, which was unique to each site.  The script from Michigan State, where my friends had athletic scholarships, was the best I ever encountered. I came back to San Diego, and introduced their lines to SD. They laughed  ... a lot.  Hehe
