The book is amazing.<br /><br />What I love about the film, even though it can be scary, and deals with the issue of "what if you got your deepest desire", the story is really about the one boy and his father. Leave it to Bradbury to hide a heart warming message in the movie.Mari Miniatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14826580849818642804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706937351903658758.post-43630964935502222682010-03-03T20:03:58.527-05:002010-03-03T20:03:58.527-05:00The novel is way better. Some of Ray Bradbury'...The novel is way better. Some of Ray Bradbury's most poetic writing. To give an idea, the spider scene is a replacement for the scene in the book where a hot air balloon trails giant slugs over the boys houses to mark them out. Ludicrous? Yet still, somehow, amazingly scary.Rhubarbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18420649578714138660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706937351903658758.post-82255912929664992102009-12-03T09:44:08.572-05:002009-12-03T09:44:08.572-05:00Yikes Vicar I don't know if I have the strengt...Yikes Vicar I don't know if I have the strength for a scarier spider scene than this one!

I have a real soft spot for Creepy Carnivals (I count FUNHOUSE and KILLER KLOWNS as two of my faves), and I'm old enough to remember this being touted as Disney's First Horror Film. Also I'm a huge fan of Royal Dano (the old guy from Killer Klowns) and always enjoy anything where he pops up. (Incidentally, he did another memorable Creepy Carnival turn in GHOULIES 2--okay, maybe more "comical" than "creepy," but still a good time; and I think one of the midgets here is also in that as a Shakespeare-quoting carnie!) Dano was also excellent in MESSIAH OF EVIL, another of my favorite flicks.<br /><br />As for terrifying spider scenes, if this one got you, I'd suggest building up your resistance a little bit and then taking a look at Coffin Joe's THIS NIGHT I'LL POSSESS YOUR CORPSE. Just as many spiders, but many times the sex.
