In what is one of his best performances (as far as I&#8217;m concerned) Tim Curry plays the Transylvanian Transvestite, Dr. Frank-n-furter.

That sneer has been imprinted on my brain for 30 years. I think I was maybe ten when I saw part of it for the first time, but even those few minutes with Curry&#8217;s voice and years later I recognized him as the voice of Nexus in Fern Gully. I recognized his face (more so his sneer) on the Lord of Darkness in Legend. <\/p>\n<p><em>Yummy.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Anyhoo &#8211; there were a lot of others there, too. Meatloaf, Susan Sarandon, Barry Bostwick, Little Nell, Richard O&#8217;Brien and Patty Quinn. Loads of others, but those are the memorable folks. Who doesn&#8217;t love a little Riff-Raff?<\/p>\n<p>One thing D. left behind when he moved to BC was his soundtrack for RHPS. I didn&#8217;t pack it up when I packed the rest of his stuff and sent it out there, probably because of the memories of driving down the back roads between here and Carman (usually at 3 AM) playing that tape and singing along&#8230; he had a great voice LOL, and from what I hear, he looked good in drag. He can have it back, if\/when he ever comes back to Manitoba&#8230; maybe. Meanwhile, the girls and I will play it, sing along, and later on tonight, probably watch the movie. If we can find it&#8230; hmmm.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Damnit, Janet!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A journey into 33 years of madness and mayhem, of a carnal carnival of delights.
