It was pretty cool being the only journalist in the world invited onto the Vancouver set of Stephen King‘s It back in 1990.
At least I think I was the only one, because I haven’t seen any other articles from that time, or interviews with the cast and crew, apart fromthe ones I did for Fangoria magazine.
The cool thing was that, not only could I ask star Tim Curry all about Pennywise, the evil clown he played, but also whatever else I damn well wanted to know.
So at one point in the conversation I asked him if there was any chance of a sequel to the 1975 film that made him a star, The Rocky Horror Picture Show. (The failed 1981 “spinoff”, Shock Treatment, hardly counts.)
He said that he thought Rocky Horror was kind of a “one-shot deal”.

I adore Tim! I had the honor of meeting him outside the stage door after a show and I was the only one there! He was so charming and gracious and just exuded warmth and joy and wasn’t cold, sinister and scary in any shape, form or description! Which is such a testament to what an incredible actor he truly was
