Something Wicked This Way Comes
Directed by Jack Clayton
Written by Ray Bradbury
Starring Jason Robards, Jonathan Pryce, Pam Grier, Diane Ladd
Both before and after watching it, I’m stymied by Something Wicked This Way Comes.

Friday, August 19th
History of the Disneyland Hotel (9:30am – 10:30am, Stage 28)
