(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!

Why hire two different groups of actors, one for the church, one for the "castle"?
