Grimms’ Fairy Tales and ‘Gretel & Hansel’ | Myth Movie Night

You would think that the horror movie version of a Grimm Fairy Tale would be the scariest version, but you would be wrong. We examine the original story of Hansel & Gretel, talk about the moral quandaries of famine, and dive into the origins of Amanda’s favorite Grimm adaptation: Into the Woods . This week, Amanda recommends Something That May Shock and Discredit You by Daniel M. Lavery.
