Honestly cant remember much about this movie since I havnt watched it is since I was a kid. From what I remember, the tone of it was incredibly grim for a kids movie. And I seem to remember people getting killed, or under the threat of beeing offed in horrific ways.
Yes, Something Wicked This Way Comes is the darkest Disney film that actually has several tense scene where children are put in peril, and actually a better movie than The Black Hole. The problem with the dark themes of The Black Hole is that it also features incredibly cutesy robots and shoot'em ups that work against what the film should be focused on.
Also, isn't Watcher in the Woods a rather dark themed film by Disney? I haven't seen it, but I have heard it was a good one from Disney's venture into more mature themes in the early eighties.
