The phrase "something wicked this way comes" originates in Act IV scene 1 of William Shakespeare's play Macbeth (where the wicked thing is Macbeth himself, by this point in the play a traitor and murderer). The speaker is the second witch, and the full line is "By the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes." Like many phrases from Shakespeare, it is popular for titles (see also By the Pricking of My Thumbs).
Something Wicked This Way Comes (1962) is a novel by Ray Bradbury.
Something Wicked This Way Comes is a 1983 movie based on the Bradbury novel, starring Jason Robards and Jonathan Pryce.

The first Enid album to feature lyrics, written by drummer Chris North and sung in a mock-operatic style by founder and keyboardist Robert John Godfrey, it deals with the threat of nuclear warfare and the various ways in which people respond to it. The album has been released in three different CD versions, each with different bonus tracks.
Something Wicked This Way Comes is a 1998 album by Iced Earth. It is also the name of the trilogy of songs on the same album, "Prophecy", "Birth of the Wicked" and "The Coming Curse".
Something Wicca This Way Comes is the first episode of Charmed. Another episode far later on in the series is called Something Wicca This Way Goes?, obviously intended to be a pun or joke on the title of the first episode, which itself is a pun on "Something wicked this way comes."
Something Wicked This Way Comes is a 2002 album by The Herbaliser.
Something Wicked This Way Comes is a song from the soundtrack of the 1997 film Lost Highway.
Something Wicked This Way Comes is the tagline of and a song written by John Williams for the film of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004). It is performed in the film by Hogwarts students singing in the school choir and is based on the witches' dialogue in Macbeth. The song is more properly known as "Double Trouble," its name on the movie's soundtrack CD.
Something Wall-Mart This Way Comes is a 2004 episode of South Park which deals with a Wal-Mart (see Wal-Mart) being built in South Park and the people becoming addicted to it.
Something Wicked This Way Comes is a 2005 episode of Joan of Arcadia in which Joan meets an adversary of uncertain origins.
Something wicked this way hops is the tagline of the 2005 film Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit.
By the Pricking of My Thumbs is the first half of a line in Act 4, Scene 1 of William Shakespeare's play Macbeth. Uttered by the Second Witch, the line reads:
"By the pricking of my thumbs,
Something wicked this way comes.
Open, locks,
Whoever knocks!"
The notion of a pricked thumb came from ancient Rome. It was said by seers that palpitations of the heart, the flickering of the eye and the pricking of a thumb were all warnings of evil. In particular, a pricking sensation in the left thumb was very worrisome.
This is just something I found and thought it was interesting. I hope you all don't mind me posting it in a new thread. confused

Oh my! Now that's a lot of research!
Thanks for sharing - if we use it, we should probably know exactly from where came!

jellysundae WickedUmmagine *cavorts around the room* Now that bath melt looks like wicked fun! And Jackie, I've already wickedly planned with ghost and hit her up for the remaining british handmade soaps! blaugh I forgot about that! I guess she only did that once, when the soap was something new. But she does like to make soap concoctions (with the liquid soap) and brings out soapy soups and beverages for me to 'drink.' My poor niece Ella didn't realize they were pretend meals when she was over one day and actually drank some eek .
