My mother she killed me,
My father he ate me,
My sister, little Marlinchen,
Gathered together all my bones,
Tied them in a silken handkerchief,
Laid them beneath the juniper-tree,
Kywitt, kywitt, what a beautiful bird am I!

The Dullahan a tale of dark fae and woe for Halloween. He rides the Irish countryside looking for souls to collect carrying a jack-o'-lantern as a light. If he stops and calls out your name your bound to drop dead.

CANNIBALISM & FAMINE The witch in Hansel & Gretel feeds the children only to fatten them up for her next meal, whilst they nibble away at her gingerbread house, symbolically eating her out of house and home #FairyTaleTuesday

When #FairyTaleTuesday meets #DollsPuppetsToys Pinocchio is frankly terrifying. He's set alight, enslaved to a puppet master, lynched by ruffians, swallowed by a fish & plunged alive into a pot before becoming a real boy.

Not to be confused with Babayaga, is the bogeyman, Babaroga! With a giant horn protruding from her forehead, Babaroga is the hag who snatches misbehaving children through cracks in the ceiling. Shoving them in a bag, she drags them to her cave to be devoured!#FairyTaleTuesday
