A creepy carnival that can transcend time is the theme of this Ray Bradbury classic. All three protagonists (friends Jim Nightshade, Will Halloway, and Will’s father) sense the coming and arrival of this carnival that tempts people to fulfill their dreams regarding age. The young wish to be older, the aging want to lose years. The transformation also comes with a price. Each must work for the carnival in some mutated form to pay for the service rendered. The carnival is timeless, having traveled through centuries.
