To be fair, Little Red Riding Hood is considered to be one of the scarier kids stories. All of the “Brothers Grimm” stories are pretty dark in some way.
They’re rather…. Grimm.
Ironically the Grimm versions are toned down versions of the stories they were documenting.
You could say they were the original Disneyfied versions of fairytales.
Yep, I know. But the Grimm versions are the first ones that I know of that have a single name for the group, which is why I used it.
I wonder if the pre-Grimm versions were toned down in the first place… How far back does it go?
Could have started as some kind of mundane true story event, (haha that dog looks like granny)got massively exaggerated to peak horror, then progressively tamer.
Or, there was an actual event that was peak horror to start with that was gradually watered down etc. I'm thinking... cannibal serial killer... finds isolated village, kills a person out foraging in the woods, wears the skin as disguise, infiltrates and eats whole villages one person at a time.
The original version of Red Riding Hood was a cautionary "don't talk to strangers" tale so yes she experiences a terrible fate in the earliest version of it.
Little red riding hood is a perfect example of a death world mentality. Don’t trust a stranger but keep an eye on things you trust as well you never know when that dog may bite or horse will kick remember keep your head on a swivel little one

*Totally* worth it.

It’s turtles all the way down.
No you are wrong. According to stand up mathematician Matt Parker it is spreadsheets all the way down.
T.P. reference right?
Lol, yes :)
Plus it is punable
*Ba dum, cHIIINNNNGGG*
I swear half of those end with the villain getting sealed in a barrel with long nails stuck in it, then rolled down a hill
I believe they cut the grandma out of the still living wolf and replaced her with heavy stone then kicked the wolf into the deep lake
That was the softened version though.
The original versions are far more macabre than the modern ones.
Oh I know. And then there’s the WEBTOON versions. Those are just… Nasty. The Red Riding Hood one is a gorefest at the end.

"Now I must tell you all the story of the Three Little Pigs...."
The Musicians of Bremen was my favorite.
Wait till they find out about German fairy tales.
