Next Episode: No episode this week :'(
Spooky season continues. This week, we go right back to the OG tales of yore, full of wolves feeding grandmothers to their granddaughters and princesses collecting skeletons for their creepy gardens.
Uh, and physic sausages, for some reason.
We delve into the classics like Little Red Hiding Hood and Sleeping Beauty, right through to obscure stories from the Brothers Grimm, bringing it home to Angela Carter's Bloody Chamber and Walt Disney.
It gets dark. And weird.
