Here are some more gruesome things about Fairy Tales you usually don't hear.

There is a reason that parents never told their kids the original story. Because the kids would probably have nightmares.

I still can't believe these are true. I guess those Brothers Grimm had some messed up thoughts. It's not just that we don't hear those, we don't want to XDD

Well, I for instance had some wonderfull Märchenbooks with the original 'bloody' stories when I was a little girl (still got them somewhere...). And I didn't had have any nightmares about those... But I have to admit, I wasn't even having some after watching 'Night of the Living Dead' from under the livingroomtable at age 6 or 7 XDD My parents send me to my room the instant they noticed me, but I had a quite funtime watching the Zombies till then XDD So I might not be the right one to ask about to scary for children or not XDD

The Brother Grimms just wrote these stories down, they weren't of their own imagination. Those were all old folktales, handed down only by storytelling. So don't blame them ;-)
