By the clicking of our tongues, some discussion this way comes.  

No, we're not tackling the bard just yet, and we probably wouldn't start with the Scottish play if we were.  Rather, it's Ray Bradbury's 1962 novel Something Wicked This Way Comes and the 1983 film adaptation we're talking about.  It's a zippity-doo-dead kind of horror the way Disney used to make.  As always, we dissect the differences, ponder the potential, and spoil the snot out of the plot.  That was your only warning.  

A few addenda: Max von Sydow is still alive at the time of publishing, and still old; Kuffs was released in 1992, nine years after this film; and we ultimately verified that the dwarf does pick up the corpse at the end of the movie.
