Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm told folktales that today we know as Snow White, Rumplestiltskin, Rapunzel, Cinderella and Little Red Riding Hood among many others. But the collected “Grimm’s Fairy Tales” had gruesome scenes more typical of a modern horror movie. At this year’s April Party, it is not the sugar-coated versions of the modern day stories, but the original adult themed tales written over 200 years ago that we pay homage to. For example, the stepmothers of “Snow White” and “Hansel and Gretel” were, originally, their mothers. So it is Snow White’s own mother who orders the huntsman to “stab her to death and bring me back her lungs and liver as proof of your deed. After that I’ll cook them with salt and eat them”.
