When the film Clue came out in 1985, audiences were baffled. A
movie based on a board game, with three different endings, and you
had to pick which one to go see? Bad reviews compounded the
problem, and instead of choosing one ending, most people stayed
away entirely. Clue, outgrossed at the box office by films that had
been released months earlier, quickly faded away. When it
unceremoniously premiered on Showtime a year after its theatrical
debut, there was no sign it was destined for anything other than
obscurity, another flop bound to be forgotten. Instead, Gen Xers
and millennials, raised on pop culture and cable TV in an era long
before the streaming wars, discovered this zany farce about a group
of six strangers locked in a remote house with a killer. The movie
appealed to kids. The creepy mansion and eerie music contrasted
with slapstick gags and double entendres, deflating the tension.
Today, almost forty years later, Clue is the epitome of a cult
classic, with midnight screenings, script readings for charity,
cosplaying fans, and a stage play. “What Do You Mean, Murder?”
dives deep into the making of Clue and walks fans through the movie
they know and love.
