Bradbury also wrote The Halloween Tree.
As a kid I saw the movie version of Something Wicked This Way Comes numerous times. I remember starting the book a long time ago, but just couldn't get into it. I guess I should give it another crack.

I forgot, I have a copy of The Halloween Tree illustrated by Gris Grimly that I picked up on sale last year.
