Inspiring Fear: Something Wicked This Way Comes

I had been meaning to watch this movie for years. I remember seeing previews of it on HBO as far back as the 80s and I was intrigued by this strange bearded man with tattoos of children on his hand. But I never sat down and watched it until last night.

Y’know, it’s pretty good.

Adapted by Ray Bradbury himself (with whom I share a birthday), the film differs greatly from the book in some regards but it’s all still rich and meaty fodder for your own Little Fears Nightmare Edition episodes. In the film, two young boys struggle with parental issues while idling in a small American town, bored and making trouble for want of something better to do. The midnight arrival of a carnival train is too intriguing to pass up and the boys are soon drawn into the magic of the place. What they don’t know is that the carnival preys on the wants and dreams of those who visit its strange attractions. What the carnival giveth, the carnival taketh away.

Carnivals, supernatural or not, are classic settings for horror with their twisting mazes, varied oddities, and general sense of dread, danger, and beauty. They have the distinction of being places that draw you to them while making you aware of how much an outsider you are. An apt description of how adult life must seem to a child, I’d say.

The carnival’s proprietor, the delightfully named Mr. Dark, brims with quiet creepiness. Mr. Dark, along with the conniving rousty Mr. Cooger and the exotic and dangerous Dust Witch, run the carnival and pose the primary threat. Any of them alone would make a great bad guy but together they form a trifecta of brilliant monsters.

Something Wicked This Way Comes is a rare film that pulls you into its story with pitch-perfect pacing and mood and walks you along its darkened tracks with as much charm as threat. While portions are dated now (it is 27 years old), Bradbury’s script holds up well and the two young leads give solid performances. Predictably, Jonathan Pryce’s Mr. Dark steals the show, the blueprint for cunning snakes everywhere.

    Something Wicked This Way Comes was an awesome movie..

    having seen it long ago, and enjoyed it, I can now (in hindsight) see why I enjoy Little Fears so much

    You know? It has been years since I saw this movie and all I still retain are little glimpses of it here in there, floating like bubbles in my consciousness. I need to see this again and soon.

    Speaking of which, it has been ages since I ran a game in a Carnival! This, like madd houses, used to be a favorite venue of mine – but I backed off because I thought I was over using it … I think it is perhaps time to revisit the old Carnival … I think I just got my basis for this year’s Halloween game! Thanks Blair!
