In Pee-wee’s Big Adventure, Pee-wee is hitchhiking on a dark foggy night when he gets picked up by Large Marge who is quiet for a bit before she shares her haunting tale.
There’s not many scenes in a family movie that can scare children as well as adults, even more than 30 years later, but the legend of Large Marge from Pee-wee’s Big Adventure has that rare distinction.
Pee-wee’s Big Adventure made Tim Burton who he is today and unleashed the legend of Large Marge into the world.
January 11th should be a day of remembrance for Large Marge and Pee-wee Herman is doing his part to spread the word, the rest is up to us.
