FailurePiece Theater ep 26: Zero Dark 1930 - Something Wicked This Way Comes (1983)

<p>This week we're back after a brief hiatus with another messed up family film of the 1980s--in this case Ray Bradbury's Something Wicked This Way Comes. A long gestating film project that Disney brought to life, then sort of killed, then brought back, then fixed, then released. It's a bit of a mess that failed miserably when the house of mouse was desperate for a hit, but riding the line between sweet coming of age story and legitimate horror film gives this movie a little something extra that might just push it into FailurePiece territory. Let's find out, shall we?</p>
