As for this thread... Uhm... Can't comment about the actual topic, but your avatar Mr. Grady looks like this guy that I work with.
OMG- Something Wicked This Way Comes is my all time favorite novel by one of my favorite writers. Bradbury has used supernatural elements in his stories dating back to the 40s. It may be a gender gap/age gap thing. I grew up as a boy in the midwest, as did Bradbury, in a time that was quite different than it is now. The nostalgia for that time and place and all it meant to be a boy growing up in the midwest has a large part to do with my enjoyment of the book.
