The situation is further complicated by the arrival of Olive Harriet Smythe, a straight-laced author of children’s books.

Something Wicked This Way Comes:
Directed by Candace Myers
One strange and dark year long ago, Halloween came early when Cooger and Dark's Pandemonium Shadow Show rolled into Green Town, Ill. As the town clock chimes 3:00, James Nightshade and William Halloway watch a train pull in, but there is no one manning the locomotive and no one in the cars behind. Yet the siren song of a calliope beckons all with impossible dreams and youth regained. First lured by its promises, the two boys will soon discover the diabolical truth about the carnival. Behind the Egyptian mirror mazes and the spooky cast of characters, the cost of wishes can be the stuff of nightmares. Only Jim, Will and Will's father can save the town from the sinister carnival that threatens to destroy it and them.
