I first saw SWTWC when I was ten. It made me fear Carnivals and spiders. Looking at it today, it hasn't aged well, although it's still an enjoyable film with an obvious message for young and old. Plus, the diabolic Mr. Dark is forever burned into my memory.
For fans of the author, kids who like to be scared and nostalgic old farts. I am now, or have been, all of those.

Did you watch this in honor of Bradbury's birthday?
Such a nice young man.
I didn't know it was his birthday. Happy coincidence. And HB, Ray. :)
I'm going to go on a Bradbury binge, I have a few more of the films.
He is my favourite living American author.
I have a huge collection of his works in print.
