Where to watch Something Wicked This Way Comes?

I have fond memories of this movie from my childhood, and after failing to find it one year with a lot of effort, every Halloween for the past several years I’ve half-heartedly tried to find it streaming somewhere to show my kids with no luck.
I was rummaging around some of my old books last night and found the novel and read a few chapters that re-piqued my interest. (Ray Bradbury was a fricking fantastic writer by the way, and I’m sure the book is much better than the film will hold up). I’ll probably finish the book eventually—just because Ray Bradbury’s prose already hooked me in the few chapters I’ve read—but it likely won’t be before Halloween, so I’m back to trying to find the movie before Monday. Anybody have any idea where or if it’s streaming somewhere?
Also, if you’ve seen it recently, does it hold up? I’ll watch it anyway, but want to temper expectations built up by me as a 10-year-old boy accordingly.

I had no idea this existed. I use IMDB, which is pretty terrible unless on certain mainstream sites. I do still have a DVD player, and am hesitant to pay the $13 to buy it on Amazon. This year, anyway, because it won’t get here before Monday. However, if somebody’s seen it and it does hold up, I don’t mind buying it and putting in the Halloween rotation for the kiddos (and me), though they probably only have another 5 years tops for me to force it on them, if it holds up.
I’d like to get then to read it, but good luck. Maybe I’m a shite parent, but I can’t get them to sit down to read anything they’re not required to (and good luck even then). I love vampire and werewolf lore, so started an October tradition probably 15 years ago where I 1) watch An American Werewolf in London—saving that for this weekend—and 2) reading the 1st part of Bram Stoker’s Dracula where Jonathan is in Vlad’s castle. (I did the rest a bit boring, or at least not as annually readable).
Speaking of werewolves, I watched Red Riding Hood with Amanda Seyfried and Gary Oldman last night. Not a great movie—or even good—but I loved it because of the setting. Reminded me of The Village (which, kiss my arse, I still loved). Any other suggestions on movies with similar settings? I’ll watch The Witch this weekend, which I know is polarizing at best on here, but which I actually loved the one time I saw it in the theater.

speaking of Red Riding Hood, I watched Freeway with Keifer Sutherland and Reese Witherspoon on Shudder last weekend. I had never even heard of it. Holy shite that movie is NUTS but also pretty fun.

Had totally forgotten about that movie. Nice modern spin. I might check it out. Thanks for bringing it up.

Found Rose Red on there in its entirety as well.
My wife likes it, I had to search to find it.

Yeah I can’t believe D+ hasn’t put this and their other scary movies from the 80s on the service to be streamed this time of year. Especially when both Mr. Boogedy movies are on there.
I ended up just buying a copy off of Amazon a couple of years ago.

I like those folk-horror settings too. A recent one you should check out that's in the same vein as Red Riding Hood and The Witch is Ravens Hollow on Shudder. To give you an idea of the timeframe, Edgar Allen Poe is the main character. I enjoyed it for what it was.
