Note creepy Harry Knowles review on AICN:
Ok – this isn’t that tv series crap, this is the movie. The one with the yummy lil Fairuza Balk! Oh and even more important one of the greatest women of all time, Diana Rigg. Oh… and the Court Jester of Satan, himself… Tim Curry!!! A grossly overlooked film that has big gobs of cool all through it. If you like the cast I’ve named, you’ll love this! If you don’t… find Quint and beat him within an inch of his life! He’s who turned me on to it. Well, him and a beautiful lady I used to know. So, just consider it as highly recommended!

Have them remake that Plunkett and Maclane film with Adam and Tim as the two lead characters. Gold, right there.
― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 3 August 2004 18:53 (twenty-one years ago)
Here's the thing. As soon as he started singing the song, I knew what he was saying. I like, knew this song, pretty well, even. Like I've heard it a few times before and found it very memorable. But I have most definitely not seen this film, ever. I would definitely have remembered something that made as little sense as the musical sequence. I can only assume that either A) this was some kind of single B) someone has made a cover of Tim Curry's song about Halloween C) I am clairvoyant.
Also we put the song on MP3, by "we" I mean Tom.

Happy indeed. I've noticed a lot more enthusiasm and recognition for this scene outside of ilx in the past few years. One of those things where I'm a little sad that it's not exactly a secret treasure anymore, but it remains a treasure nonetheless.

Easily the best bit (of a great interview all around)
Q. A few years after that, you did “Muppet Treasure Island.” Did you have conflict with any of the Muppets?A. I didn’t. They’re my favorites, actually. One of the great things about working with them is that you come to see them as characters and not as puppets, which is down to the brilliance of the Muppeteers. I loved Miss Piggy. We got on great.Q. She’s difficult to share the spotlight with.A. She is. She’s a greedy girl. It was established in the script that we had, maybe sometime in the past, some kind of a fling together. And I improvised a line which never made it into the movie: “Once you’ve had pork, you never look back.” (Deep laugh.)
