We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of LEGENDARY actor and performer Tim Curry, who brought some of the most unforgettable characters in film, television, and theater to life. From Dr. Frank-N-Furter in The Rocky Horror Picture Show, as well as the terrifying Pennywise the Clown in Stephen King’s It. Tim Curry was a one of a kind talent whose performances inspired generations of fans.

A TRUE icon.

Our hearts go out to his family, friends, and fans around the world. 💔

TODAY 3pm - 6pm! FREE AUTOGRAPHS! Buddy The Unicorn is coming to the Houston Horror Film Fest - (August 7th - 9th, 2026) event next weekend!

From the highly anticipated upcoming analog horror film BUDDY, meet the suit actor who brings Buddy the Unicorn to life Sergey Zhuravsky (no spoilers here!) – SATURDAY ONLY!

Sergey will be signing FREE autographs on BUDDY posters and taking FREE selfies with fans from 3:00pm to 6:00pm at the HHFF Merchandise Booth.

Don't miss your chance to meet the man behind one of horror's most talked-about new characters before the film's release!

Buddy is a 2026 American comedy slasher film directed by Casper Kelly, who co-wrote the screenplay with Jamie King.

Starring Cristin Milioti, Topher Grace, Keegan-Michael Key, Michael Shannon, Patton Oswalt, and Delaney Quinn, the film follows a group of children trapped inside the colorful world of the 1990s-style TV show It's Buddy!. When one child refuses to play along, cracks begin to form in the seemingly perfect fantasy, revealing Buddy the show's giant, bright-orange unicorn host—as a terrifying and murderous force. As the cheerful children's program descends into a surreal nightmare, the kids must find a way to escape before Buddy's twisted version of happiness becomes deadly.

In theaters August 28, 2026.
