Film spoddery

Disney are re-releasing Something Wicked This Way Comes on DVD this year. Well, at least in North America...

Is it too much to hope that this'll finally lead to a DVD release over here? It's one of those films that I really need to own.

Disney.

That was my reaction the first time I realised, too. :)

Much like my reaction when I discovered that Disney are the owning company of TokyoPop comics. The people responsible for releasing the translations of the Battle Royale manga :)

Wow! I've not seen that since I was a kid. It's one of Disneys prouder moments!

I hope we do get to have it over here. Jonathan Pryce is excellent in it.
(Interesting anecdote: The film was the main source of inspiration for the ALF song "Carnival Of Souls").

Carnival of Souls

As opposed to the 1962 movie Carnival of Souls?
Oooh, I don't think I've read the Bradbury story that Something Wicked This Way Comes is based upon, I'll have to add that to my summer reading list. I've never seen the movie, either, though it sounds worth tracking down.
