Een circus en horror films gaan eigenlijk al jaren hand in hand samen, en daarom heeft de website Fearnet.com nu deze top tien gemaakt nu. Daar op staan een aantal klassiekers, en voor de wat nieuwere fans veel onbekende films. Zoals bijvoorbeeld:

Something Wicked This Way Comes

Bradbury's 1962 novel was his second book set in the fictional Green Town (based on the author's own hometown of Waukegan, Illinois), but actually began life as a film treatment entitled The Black Ferris, with screen legend Gene Kelly planning to direct. While that project and other prior attempts to film the novel fell through, it finally got the green light two decades later, when Walt Disney Pictures was testing the waters of more grown-up entertainment, and Bradbury was hired to craft the screenplay. Although Jason Robards was the best-known cast member at the time, the film would become a cult classic thanks to the brilliant performance of Jonathan Pryce as Mr. Dark, whose demonic carnival steals the souls of townspeople by tempting them with their deepest desires, and who delivers awesome lines like "We butter our plain bread with delicious pain." Also notable is the appearance of genre legend Pam Grier as Dark's incredibly hot supernatural sidekick, a fanastic score by James Horner, and some serious scares for a PG Disney flick.
