About this episode
Your favorite classic fairy tales have been stripped down to their darkest, bloodiest roots in this chilling horror anthology that reimagines folklore and fables with brutal twists, grotesque events, and psychological terror. Inside this nightmarish collection: Lucy Clifford's THE NEW MOTHER: When two children push the limits of disobedience, they summon something far worse than an angry parent—a monstrous figure whose arrival changes their family forever. J.B. Harlan's REST STOP IN THE WOODS: Inspired by Hansel and Gretel, this grim retelling follows siblings who stumble upon a lonely rest stop deep in the forest. Lured by the promise of warm stew, they soon discover that every bite drains their youth, health, and very souls. Charles W. Chessnut's THE CONJURE WOMAN: Based on the story "Po' Sandy," this Southern Gothic nightmare explores the haunting power of love, betrayal, and magic. When a conjure woman's dark rites go awry, the line between the living and the dead is ripped apart. Perfect for fans of Grimm Brothers horror, Angela Carter’s gothic fairy tales, and modern dark folklore, MORE F*CKED UP FAIRY TALES delivers chilling short stories where happily ever after is never guaranteed. If you crave disturbing fairy tale horror, twisted folklore, and creepy short stories that linger long after you turn the last page, this collection is for you.
