The film appears to be an unauthorized adaptation of the Ray Bradbury novel, as not only does the film change the names of the character (Mr. Dark becomes Mr. Black, Mr. Cougar becomes Mr. Puma, Will Holloway becomes Ben Hopewell, etc...) but changes the setting from Greentown, Illinois set during an unspecified time during the 20's, 30's or 40's to an English town with a then-contemporary modern setting.
