The Movie: Something Wicked This Way Comes (1983)
What Is It?: A strange carnival comes to town, and top-hatted carny Jonathan Price grants wishes for steep prices. Jack
Clayton’s adaptation of Ray Bradbury’s novel is rich
in nostalgia and autumnal atmosphere, and it doesn’t skimp on the terror just
because it’s aimed at youngsters. This will really get to you if you have a thing about spiders.
Why Today?: This
is the day the carnival comes to town in the novel.
