Something Wicked This Way Comes-Movies That Deserve A Remake

I was about eight years old (I think), and there I was, wrapped in a blanket and kneeling inches from the television.

Why this strange pose?  Because for once, I was breaking all the rules.  I was out of bed past midnight on a school night so that I could watch Something Wicked This Way Comes yet again on cable.  If I got caught, I'd be grounded for the rest of my life, but the risk was so worth it.

I was obsessed with that movie.  The grindingly eerie music of the circus parade still sends chills up my spine and I never pass a carousel that I don't think of those cursed horses from the film.

So, there I am, crouched in the dark next to the old console television.  I have the volume down so low that i have to press my ear against the speaker to hear it.  I jump at every little noise, but still I stay til the very end, knowing I'll be too freaked out when I finally do go to bed to actually sleep.

Now that's the power of a good movie!

While I was writing the first book in my Spiritus series, I kept going over my favorite scary stories and, even all these years later, Something Wicked This Way Comes came to mind.  I'm now in the process of tracking down a copy so that I can share it with my daughter, but I can't help but think of what an awesome remake it would be!

What are some of your favorite movies?  And do you think that a remake can ever capture the magic of the original?
