was released in 1983
Full Synopsis
After a carnival comes to Green Town, the good citizens are compelled to follow their deepest desires, caught under the spell of the malevolent Dr. Dark (Jonathan Pryce) who can grant those desires on one condition: that the grantees will forever join his freak show. Dr. Dark is after two young boys from the town in particular, while others in the town would certainly be easy marks. The sour-faced, older schoolteacher (Mary Grace Canfield) wants to be a seductive young woman, Ed the bartender (James Stacy) would like to regain his lost left arm and leg, and the librarian (Jason Robards) worries about a wasted life spent only in books. As Dr. Dark works his own brand of voodoo, the citizens and the two boys -- as well as the whole carnival itself -- approach a final reckoning. Something Wicked This Way Comes was based on a Ray Bradbury novel.

I think Julie has it confused with "Pale Rider" - that's the one where Clint Eastwood is "Preacher" etc.
Something Wicked This Way Comes was released in 1983. I've not heard of a remake.

Don't know about the remake but the original was a Clint Eastwood western ,he was a mysterious preacher who turns up in a mining town where the people are being beaten and robbed of there claims by the town mayor and his gang of thugs turns out that Clint was actually dead and come back to help the people was a great movie

To Roxy 81492, I think you'll find the original line comes from Macbeth, Act IV scene 1, spoken by the 2nd witch and the full line is "By the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes". JK Rowling (or more likely the film-makers - I don't think it was in the book) 'borrowed' it!

I used to live near Jonathan Pryce.
Is that good enough?
