Something Wicked This Way Comes

Green Town, Illinois. Late October. A calliope wheeze. Two boys glimpse the arrival of Cooger & Dark's Pandemonium Shadow Show. Soon townsfolk are trading years and souls for a Faustian collection of delights. Clayton's Disney-funded adaptation retains the novel's chill.
