Was it Colonel Mustard in the library with the candlestick? Or was it Tim Curry in the hallway absolutely stealing the entire movie?
In this episode of The VHS Vault, we’re heading back to Hill House for one of the funniest, strangest, and most endlessly quotable murder mysteries ever put on film: CLUE.
Based on the classic board game, Clue brought together an absurdly talented cast—including Tim Curry, Madeline Kahn, Christopher Lloyd, Lesley Ann Warren, Michael McKean, Martin Mull, and Eileen Brennan… and somehow turned a game about tiny plastic weapons into one of the great cult comedies of the 1980s.
This episode was originally recorded in 2024 and released exclusively to our Patreon supporters. Today, we’re opening the Vault and releasing it publicly for the first time in tribute to the incomparable Tim Curry.
Curry could make practically any role unforgettable, but as Wadsworth, the increasingly frantic butler trying to keep one step ahead of several murders, multiple lies, and an increasingly unhinged dinner party, he delivered one of his most beloved performances.
So grab your candlestick, check the conservatory, and try not to stand next to anyone holding a lead pipe.
And yes…
Communism was just a red herring.
