Thank you so much for uploading this, I was searching for a DVD of it but they don't seem to have released a PAL version.
I saw it years ago on TV and loved it, seeing it again now I'm amazed if was marketed as a kids film, particularly with the scenes in the previous clip, with electricution and decapitation, it's still scary even now.
I think this is a good adaption by Ray Bradbury, but his novel is brilliant, one of my favourite books, very poetically written.
I always loved this film. Although it was received coldly by critics and audiences in general when it came out, it was a favorite matinee movie for me growing up. I also like the subtle spookiness of the antagonists here. Today's movies revel in their own shock factor rather than focus on the eerie and unknown that all humans fear: death and aging.
@Malocosa man i did not know this movie wasnt recieved well. to me it was a bodifide classic, thats at least what i always thought of it. sure the ending with all the special effects was a bit weak i guess but beyond that the movie was effective and jeez, how can you NOT love johnathen pryce as mr dark?? i think people are just stupid when it comes to movies, they never know a classic when they see it.
Whoa baby . . . . . . 1:48-3:25 alone is DEFINITELY nightmare inducing for me! The bigger the spiders, the more freaked out I get. Tarantulas scare me half to death.
does anyone know the name of the funeral march the band begins to play once Mr. Dark finishes threatening Mr. Halloway?

Totally underrated movie. It's absolutely FANTASTIC. I'm so glad they got Bradbury himself to write the screenplay - that man is a fricking genius.
