Idolator’s Videodrone Halloween Parade: Tim Curry Goes Bananas With The Cable Access Special Effects

Is it just us, or does this goofy, VHS-grade clip from 1986’s The Worst Witch look like something a noise band would try to sneak past the Whitney Biennial committee as “repurposed footage”? Tim Curry mugs in a dollar-store Halloween costume and a Buster Poindexter haircut as 4-bit CGI pumpkins and skulls swirl around him. (He also kinda sounds like David Sylvian trying out for Reading Rainbow.) And look, Mrs. Garrett has gone mad with the Manic Panic and is singing showtunes in the woods about being a witch!

Thanks to Idolator reader Ryan Creed for getting that damn Tim Curry song stuck in my head for the rest of the day.
