fairy tales.

Ever since I was little I have loved fairy tales. Be it from a book, a cartoon movie or something more realistic and maybe even slightly creepy. I love the lessons and stories they tell and even the sometimes eerie nature of the characters. There's something so intriguing to me about this type of fantasy.

Faire Tale Theater was one of my immediate favorites as a child. It was on weekly and told the tales we all knew but with real people; and almost always very well-known actors.

If you've never watched this series you really should look into it. You can watch it on Netflix or on Hulu Plus.  Or a sneak peek here:


Walt Disney movies are of course classics and in my opinion also have their fair share of creepiness as well. I most definitely remember being quite scared of the witch from "Sleeping Beauty". Weren't you?

And recently the networks have introduced some pretty interesting new shows about fairy tales. The child inside me, as well as the me that likes a good scare, can't help but watch these new tellings of our favorite childhood stories. If you are interested here's what you should be watching...

Once Upon A Time
 A new telling of what really happened to all of your favorite fairy tale characters. 

 




GRIMM

A telling of the tales from "the Brothers Grimm" in a creepy and very realistic drama detective-type series. An awesome blend of "Dexter" meets "Disney". 







Hope you enjoy these shows. But maybe you don't like to be freaked out like I do. To each his own.
