    Oddly enough, Cinderella. I think mostly, because I always envision the Roald Dahl version where the step-sisters get their toes chopped off for trying to fit into the glass slippers

    The Red Shoes by Andersen. A girl chopped off her feet to get rid of red shoes and the shoes continued to dance…

    Rumplestiltskin was always a creepy fairy tale to me. The thought of a little goblin coming to steal away your first born child was always an unsettling thought.

    Without a DOUBT, it’s the Headless Horseman! I’ve never visited that area, since I just moved to the east coast this year, but I want to still check it out!!! Just a little nervous haha

    I agree the creepy person in the mirror stories are what totally freaks me out. i.e. bloody mary, candyman…etc.

    This especially after watching a scary movie, I’m just compelled to say it.

    For me, it’s always been Little Red Riding Hood. It’s so dark and twisted.
