Can confirm this is true across many generations
...which would mean that you probably cannot actually tell how old someone is based on recognizing the good doctor.
... which also does make sense given the sacred ritual of the time warp.
Of course. I took my uncle to midnight showing, and the guy in front of him heard him disparaging the "hippies" around the theater. When Dr Frank-N-Furter came down the elevator, the guy stood up, and when Dr. F made his reveal, the guy spun around to face my uncle, and yanked his long coat open to reveal a full Dr F costume. It traumatized my uncle for life.

Yeah, C&C
when I was younger i thought he was funny, now i think he was justified
The best part is that even he had visible trouble containing his laughter.
It from 1990. Absolutely horrifying Pennywise
That shit was on network television during primetime! Scarred our entire generation.

Seems silly, but I most remember him from his brief stint on Psych playing Nigel St. Nigel, a knockoff Simon Cowell.
I think he did a guest showing on Monk too.
And also as Nigel from the Wild Thornberrys.

I remember him most from Clue though I probably saw him in The Shadow first.
You really can't, because a lot of Curry's best works have become timeless classics that have gone on to gain new fans. I certainly wasn't alive for the original theatrical run of Rocky Horror Picture Show or the broadcast of the IT tv series, but they're the first two that come to mind.
You certainly were and are alive for Rocky Horror Picture Show's original theatrical release because it is still on it. It has been continuously shown in theaters since it came out. It is the longest running release in movie history as well as most played movie in terms of numbers of showings in history. And it just had a 4k release for its 50th anniversary, also on its original theatrical run.
....Space!
SHPAAAAAAAYSH
I cannot believe I'm the only person here who is mentioning The Hunt for Red October.
I loved that movie - if only because it had Sean Connery try to do a Russian accent with a very thick Scottish accent overlay.

Yeah, that was some poor phrasing. But your comment made me laugh so I'll refuse to edit it.
Clue

Pirates of Penzance
But let's be honest, he raises the bar in basically any role.
