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).
