Horror Fun Art Project for the month, Terror in Fairy Tales
10 years ago
I am sure that you have read fairy tail when you was a child, and I bet there is a number of you all who read the much darker side to the tales you loved as a child. Unlike the Disney who water down these classic where there is singing and dancing , there lies a much darker and cynical side to the story.
This month fun subject is go find out and to some sort of art with the true version of Fairy tales.
A few ideas:
* Did you know that Pinocchio got so mad at the cricket that he smashed him with a mallet.
* The witch willingly helps her by selling her a potion that gives her legs in exchange for her tongue (as the Little Mermaid has the most enchanting and beautiful voice in the world). The Sea Witch warns that once she becomes a human, she will never be able to return to the sea. Consuming the potion will make her feel as if a sword is being passed through her body, yet when she recovers, she will have two human legs and will be able to dance like no human has ever danced before. However, she will constantly feel as if she is walking on sharp knives and as though her toes are bleeding. In addition, she will obtain a soul only if she wins the love of the prince and marries him, for then a part of his soul will flow into her. Otherwise, at dawn on the first day after he marries another woman, the Little Mermaid will die brokenhearted and disintegrate into sea foam upon the waves,( source from Wikipedia)
There is so much out there. What I would like is any form of medium that portray the original horror of these stories. Nothing made like Cinderella Killing the dwarfs or anything. I want a drawing, sculpture, poetry or a short film if you like to base the true horror of the Fairy tales.
