Literary Video of the Day – The Ray Bradbury Theater Episode 3: The Crowd (June 4, 1985)

in #books6 years ago (edited)

I'm a big Ray Bradbury fan. Reading Something Wicked This Way Comes as a child was my introduction to the beauty and poetry of fiction. It still resonates with me and from time to time I'll dip back into Bradbury for some comfort reading. The Ray Bradbury Theater was an anthology series that ran for two seasons on HBO from 1985-86, and four additional seasons on USA from 1988-92. The episodes were written by Bradbury himself, with most of them based on short stories or novels he had written.

The Crowd is the third episode from Season 1, which aired on June 4, 1985. It's a creepy little vignette about a car crash survivor that discovers that the same mysterious crowd of onlookers somehow always shows up minutes after any potentially fatal car accident. Here's the full episode:

That is spooky. Makes me think of the crisis actors we keep hearing about at school shootings and terror attacks.
