Something wicked this way comes novel5/21/2023 ![]() But as Something Wicked This Way Comes turns 40, what is Bradbury’s story like to revisit on the screen? Like many of its PG brethren, the film lost money and won mixed to negative reviews. But it also had a difficult production and post-production, with backroom rewrites, discarded scores, and extensive (and expensive) reshoots. Something Wicked had a more celebrated literary pedigree than the others, and it had direct input from Bradbury himself.
