- Absolutely Wicked!
A marvellous neglected gem of a movie. Rarely shown on TV and never given a UK DVD release, this is arguably the best, certainly the strangest and by far the scariest film the Disney studio has ever produced. Based on a Ray Bradbury story, and with a sparkling script by Bradbury himself, the action is set in the early 50s American mid-West where, as in David Lynch movies, the glowing surfaces of things hide an insidious darkness. In this case the darkness comes to town in the form of the aptly named Mr. Dark and his travelling carnival (think Tod Browning's 'Freaks' and you won't be far wrong), with Mr. Dark chillingly portrayed by Jonathan Pryce.

- Not one for the little uns
The opening credits to this film are ace and set the tone of the film. For a Disney it's dark a bit like their "Black Cauldren" too scary for little kids but not scary enough for adults, even so it's CREEPY.
It's set in a little town in America where a travelling carnival comes. Though it's no ordinary carnival as its owner can grant you your deepest desires.....at a price. Meet Mr Dark.
The story was written by Ray Bradbury a Sci-Fi/Fantasy/Mystery writer and is DEFINITLY worth watching.
