SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES
Here is the film itself.
Now forgive me as I have not seen this film in years so my memory is a little hazy. It came out in 1983 from Walt Disney Studios of all places. Based on Bradbury's novel and adapted into a screenplay by Bradbury as well. It stars Jonathan Pryce as Mr. Dark, the showman of an ominous traveling night carnival called Mr. Dark's Pandemonium Carnival.
Two boys, curious about the place decide to check it out for themselves where they encounter a carousel that changes your age depending on which direction it spins and other creepy magical attractions.
Before long, the town falls under the spell and Mr. Dark is able to collect the damned souls of the townspeople. It's up the boys and the town librarian to give Mr. Dark a run for his money and save their little town from the clutches of evil.
As I stated before, I have not rewatched this film yet. I found the film on YouTube and immediately started preparing this entry, knowing that this film is prime Screaming Streaming material. I do recall being serious creeped out by the film all those years ago and hopefully it still has the power to do that.
