A word to the wise: When a mysterious dark carnival arrives unexpectedly in your small town a week before Halloween, you probably shouldn't ride that carousel—especially if Ray Bradbury is the one who sent them. Based on Bradbury's 1962 fantasy novel, Something Wicked This Way Comes remains a strong reminder that evil requires fear and regret to grow and, once built up, only love and joy can banish it.
