Retro Trailer For The 1983 Film SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES
This week’s retro trailer for for the 1983 dark fantsy film Something Wicked This Way Comes, which based on Ray Bradbury’s novel of the same name. This is a movie that I loved as a kid!
Set in a small, sleepy American town, the story follows two curious boys, Will Halloway and Jim Nightshade, whose lives are turned upside down when a mysterious carnival rolls in overnight.
The carnival, led by the sinister Mr. Dark, promises to grant the townspeople their deepest desires, but at a terrifying cost. As strange and supernatural events unfold, Will’s father, Charles, a weary and regretful librarian, must confront his own past and summon the courage to help the boys fight the growing evil.
Mr. Dark preys on the vulnerabilities of the townsfolk, offering illusions of youth, love, or second chances, while secretly stealing their souls. As Will, Jim, and Charles uncover the carnival’s sinister truth, the story builds to a suspenseful and emotional climax, where love, sacrifice, and the power of human will stand against darkness.
With eerie visuals and poetic narration, the film delivers a great blend of horror and wonder.
