Something Wicked This Way Comes

(1983)Directed by Jack Clayton95 min · PGFantasy, Mystery, Horror
“What would you give a man who could make your deepest dream come true?”

Charles Halloway (Jason Robards) is a quiet small-town father, and his son Will (Vidal Peterson) is a boy he does not feel he knows well enough. When a carnival run by Mr. Dark (Jonathan Pryce) arrives, it offers each townsperson the wish they have kept hidden, and Jack Clayton films it from a script by Ray Bradbury. Will and his friend are the only ones who see what every wish costs, and the town has little time left.
