It's happy dance time for sophy1996, PollyannaMom, Elizabeth Smith, me, and the TEAM for reaching BOO TO YOU BLUE!!!!!! 
Next on our list of Disney Halloween movies is SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES. This movie, " . . . a 1983 Walt Disney Productions release, is an adaptation of Ray Bradbury's same-named novel. Bradbury, one of the masters of modern science fiction, also wrote the screenplay.
A traveling carnival comes to town, and like most small-town kids, Will and Jim can't wait to go see everything the sideshows have to offer. And also, like many small-town kids, the boys are unable to control their enthusiasm and curiosity, so they sneak into the carnival and make some terrifying discoveries.
The owner of the carnival is the aptly-named Mr. Dark, whose fancy is evilly seducing carnival-goers with the lure of fulfilling their darkest desires.
The film is very dark, very un-Disney-like, and delves deeply into the age old good vs. evil issue, and the powerful influence that greed can hold over the best of us.
The late Jack Clayton directed, with Jason Robards, Jonathan Pryce, Diane Ladd and Royal Dano among the cast members." (DISDB)
I must have watched this one as a child because I remember some scenes from the trailer:
It's interesting to see this darker side to Disney. I wasn't aware it had one!

And that brings us to my favorite Disney Halloween movie, THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS. I wish we had Jack and Sally emojis, but we don't so just imagine them here.
