Something Wicked This Way Comes

The phrase "something wicked this way comes" originates in Act IV scene 1 of William Shakespeare's play Macbeth (where the wicked thing is Macbeth himself, by this point in the play a traitor and murderer). The speaker is the second witch, and the full line is "By the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes." Like many phrases from Shakespeare, it is popular for titles (see also By the Pricking of My Thumbs).

  • Something Wicked This Way Comes is a 1983 movie based on the Bradbury novel, starring Jason Robards and Jonathan Pryce. Directed by Jack Clayton for Walt Disney Pictures, from a screenplay written by Bradbury himself, it is a beautiful picture that unfortunately suffered from offscreen conflicts of vision. Although the 1980s Disney company was trying to grow beyond "kiddie fare" and make more complex and mature PG-rated movies, they struggled against the creepy and sometimes gruesome nature of the chosen story. The result is a strangely toothless film far more evocative of nostalgic New England childhood, and the melancholy beauty of autumn, than the slow-growing horrors of obsession and regret detailed in the novel.
