hexandshadowchronicles: Tim Curry never needed to be the hero to become unforgettable.

He gave darkness a voice, mischief a smile and the strange among us permission to take centre stage. From Dr Frank-N-Furter and the Lord of Darkness to Pennywise, Wadsworth and Long John Silver, every character became larger, stranger and more alive the moment he appeared.

For generations of outsiders, horror lovers and midnight cinema souls, The Rocky Horror Picture Show was more than a film. It was a doorway into a world where being different was not something to conceal. It was something to celebrate loudly, fearlessly and in magnificent clothing.

Tim Curry did not merely perform cult classics.

He helped create the reason we call them cult classics.

Rest peacefully to the man who made villains irresistible, darkness theatrical and strangeness feel like home.

Tonight, we do the Time Warp in your honour.

Tim Curry
1946–2026
