250 Of My Favorite Films From The 80's, y'all (250 movies items)

"    Here's a story from Walt Disney Studios about a about a creepy carnival that comes into a small midwestern town known as Greentown. And lemme tell, for an eighties movie that is about a scary circus, that's all I needed to know to make me want to go see back when it was first released. After I watched it, I thought it was pretty decent as far as horrors films go, but even as a kid, I could sense that the Disney formula was clashing with the scary element that comes with type of tale of ter"

"  Will and Jim are two boys who live next to each as neighbors n a small sleepy town known as Greentown Il. They're best friends who both share a birthday that just so happens to fall on Halloween. One day, a traveling circus comes to town, and the boys soon start to realize that this creepy carnival, whose ringmaster has the devilish name of Mr. Dark, seems to have brought something wicked with them.

"In a small American town, a diabolical carnival arrives, granting wishes for the townsfolk, but twisted as only the esteemed Mr. Dark can make them. Can two young boys overcome the worst the devil himself can deal out? Based on the Ray Bradbury book of the same name, this is a Disney live-action kids horror movie. It's quite surprising how dark Disney made this movie to be. The movie is quite frightening, even for adults, much less impressionable children. That being said, I enjoyed every minut"
