I never saw "Dark Crystal" :lol:

Is it Skehksis or Skeeksis?

I haven't either, but I always pronounce it 'skehk-sys' ('sys' as in 'system')

Ha! Nice one! :lol:

In the movie, I believe it's "Skehk-seas".

I think...

But Judy works, too.

Wait up, wait up.... you haven't seen Dark Crystal?

Get thee to the DVD store NOW and rent that bad boy. What an awesome movie it is... I dare you not to love it. :)

Dark Crystal creeped the hell out of me as a kid. Not watched it recently, but certain Henson type puppets just seem inherently evil and twisted :P

I pronounce it Skehk (as in Heck) and Sys (as in System) also.
