The act of allegedly de-bowdlerizing a story, but going to the other extreme instead: Making it Grimmdark. It is a common belief that most traditional Fairy Tales were designed to inform kids via metaphor about a potentially harsh world in a time where children worked and traveled and were essentially treated more like miniature adults than "kids". But originally, fairy tales were told to many different audiences, adults included, and were generally simple folktales to entertain peasants rather than teach lessons. Only after they were first recorded by early folklorists did the stories obtain morals and, eventually, kiddie-friendly endings that removed the graphic violence and changed cruel twist endings to karmic ones. It becomes popular to return a story to its non-sanitized roots or to pervert the popular Disneyfied version. Sometimes this includes throwing in more modern Nightmare Fuel. If done poorly, this can spoil the appeal of the adapted story without adding any real value. A common example of Grimmification is having Little Red Riding Hood survive the well known version... but be scarred by the events — varying from just becoming jaded and cynical, to becoming completely psychotic. A subtrope of Darker and Edgier. Commonly also includes Hotter and Sexier and Bloodier and Gorier. See also Fractured Fairy Tale and Dystopian Oz. Not to be confused with Grimm's Law. The opposite is Disneyfication. Technically, this trope isn't Darker and Rape-ier, but looking at the examples below you'd be forgiven for thinking this. Examples |

Dimension 20: Neverafter has this as it's main setting, with all fairy tales being thrown into a Fantasy Kitchen Sink and every aspect of the original stories being Played for Horror, such as the Wicked Stepmother from Cinderella being an Eldritch Abomination who devours stories and the Big Bad Wolf being a literal personification of death, right down to smaller things like Pinocchio carrying a staff made out of his own nose that he broke off. Of course, there is an in-universe reason for all this, which is that forces are conspiring to make all stories the worst possible versions of themselves, meaning fiction itself has become Darker and Edgier. | |

In Evil Tales all the stories are based upon fairy tales and have a rather dark, gothic tone and aesthetic (even considering how dark some of the original versions are). Unlike some of the originals, they most certainly don't end with a Happily Ever After. "Fascination" is based on Red Riding Hood, "Repulsion" on Hansel and Gretal, "Obsession" on Snow White and "Rejection" on Beauty and the Beast. | |

Bulleta/B.B. Hood of Darkstalkers is implied to be Red Riding Hood in the Ax-Crazy category, motivated by a combination of sheer self-serving greed and her traumatic experiences to hunt monsters. According to Capcom, the character's idea is to be Humans Are Bastards in full effect, and man did they do their job well. Of course, there's an even more Grimmified Alternative Character Interpretation that states that she was already Ax-Crazy to begin with, and killed her own Grandmother during one of her psychotic episodes. | |

Grimm is about people investigating a Monster of the Week - which usually takes the form of something from a Grimm Fairy Tale. And is suitably dark. In contrast to Once Upon a Time below, it goes for the more obscure tales. | |

Even more of an example is a version of the tale of "Goldilocks and the Three Tigers" which Calvin claims that Hobbes wrote himself. Calvin's dad refuses to continue reading and bids him a quick "good night" at the point where the tigers divided Goldilocks into big, medium, and small pieces and dipped them in the porridge. "He didn't even look at our illustrations," Calvin complains. | |

Snow White: A Tale of Terror amps up the darkness and also turns the Queen into a Tragic Villain. She actually starts off willing to love her stepdaughter. But years of the girl turning away and rebuffing her, coinciding with a miscarriage pushes her over the edge. Other things include the mirror choking the girl's nanny to death, the villain's brother being forced to stab himself and the entire castle staff turning into zombies. | |

Andrzej Sapkowski's The Last Wish and Sword of Destiny anthologies of short stories from the Witcher Saga mostly follow the formula of the main character coming upon a somewhat altered and twisted version of a classical fairy tale, discovering the dark secret behind it all that makes it even more twisted, and seeing it to the usually-grisly end. For instance, "The Beauty And The Beast"? The Beauty is a particularly nasty kind of a vampire that is trying to make the Beast lose what little humanity he still has. What's perhaps even more messed up is that she is doing it out of love. As for the Beast himself, he was cursed by a priestess of a Religion of Evil that he raped. | |

Alice: Madness Returns is even grimmer — Wonderland has turned into a Crapsack World, and in the real world, Alice is being "treated" by a Psycho Psychologist who wants her to forget everything so he can pimp her out as a child prostitute; oh, and he was also responsible for the fire that killed Alice's family from the first game. He also raped Alice's sister, leaving her in a catatonic state before Alice's home on fire to keep his secret from getting out. As before, Alice's fragile sanity is manifesting in a new nightmare for Wonderland: the Infernal Train, a massive, world-destroying locomotive that's tearing up the earth itself as it crosses the dream world. We also meet some new characters from the Alice books who have similarly undergone horrific changes: the Carpenter, for example, is now a psychotic showman who's mounting plays in Wonderland's red-light district, while the Walrus, his star, is a monstrously obese glutton that happily devours sentient oyster-human hybrids while talking about the futility of life. | |

Surprisingly, Beauty and the Beast. The original tale has no violence and no real antagonist (all the conflict is emotional), while the film has a villain and quite a few action sequences. In the original story, Belle is sent from her father's house to the Beast knowingly and in safety in a metaphor for an Arranged Marriage; she doesn't have to fight her way through the woods to rescue her father. There's no Gaston character trying to fight the Beast, and Belle doesn't even run from the castle and get attacked by wolves. There are only invisible servants, not humans turned into objects that will become inanimate if the curse doesn't break. And the Beast was cursed by a genuinely wicked fairy, not one trying to teach him a lesson, and is always kind towards Belle instead of having to re-learn his social skills. | |

Nightmares & Fairy Tales. Even the happy endings result in some sort of grisly or frightening encounter. For example, Snow White has the Huntsman go through with murdering the young girl so the Evil Queen can replace her ugly heart with Snow’s beautiful one. Snow wakes up as a zombie and replaces her heart with an apple. From there, she begins stalking her stepmother, leaving bloody apples as a calling card, ultimately killing the Huntsman and ripping her beautiful heart right out of the Queen’s chest. | |

You can find sexual subtext in "Little Red Riding Hood" if you look, and not very hard. In The Company of Wolves, you don't have to look at all. The book The Company of Wolves was based on was a collection of short stories (The Bloody Chamber by Angela Carter) that essentially did this with a dozen or so different fairy tales. | |

Calvin and Hobbes: In one strip, Calvin's dad gives Hamster Huey and the Gooey Kablooie this treatment after being forced to read it to Calvin one time too many. We don't get to hear either version, but Calvin and Hobbes are too scared to sleep afterwards. Even more of an example is a version of the tale of "Goldilocks and the Three Tigers" which Calvin claims that Hobbes wrote himself.

Discworld: Parodied in several books with the works of the Sisters Grim, whose tales seem to consist entirely of the bits Disney left out, such as "How the Wicked Queen Danced in Red Hot Shoes". In Hogfather, Susan does this with the fairy tales she reads to her young charges, but not by changing their events. She keeps the events exactly the same, but defines their morals as, "If you're a hero, you can get away with anything because no one asks any inconvenient questions." |

Only Todd McFarlane would grimmify Christmas to the point of being horrific. Santa Claus is obese, hunchbacked, wears a gas mask over his bare skull and has Freddy Krueger-esque bladed gloves. Mrs Claus is, of course, almost naked. The elves have been zombified and wield blades. Rudolph wields an axe and is being held back by, uh, fairy lights and leather belts. A six-armed melting snowman and a deformed Jack Frost round out the collection. Todd McFarlane as his artists can also make appearances at your Christmas parties and carolling sessions. | |

The hitRECord story Moonflowers has a VERY dark portrayal of the Wild Hunt, since a lot of human characters call their leader a serial-killer. However, the Wild Hunt are on the really extreme end of fairy morality—other spirits (including a very friendly, if Cloud Cuckoo Lander river-spirit) don't agree with the Hunt at all. | |

No Rest for the Wicked: Red is literally Ax-Crazy and Back from the Dead: she also got better. There are a number of wolf skins in her cottage, though according to her, the wolves left the forest when the moon disappeared. "Hansel and Gretel" gets a very dark reimagining as well: The Witch is the cannibalizing, insane mother of Hansel and Gretel who is no longer human. Oh, and the townsfolk are planning to burn the protagonist of "The Girl Without Hands" for the witch's crimes because they care more about assuaging their guilt for letting their children fall prey to the witch and other dangers of the forest than actual justice. |

The comic starts with the Bayer family (a group of anthropomorphic bears) summoning the police to deal with a "flat-faced goblin" that has invaded their home. The cops slowly become spooked as they see evidence of the creature's presence, and when they find Goldilocks, she looks like a zombie with Glowing Eyes of Doom. | |

Dungeons & Dragons: Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition deliberately redesigned its fey to be darker and more threatening than their traditional D&D presentation. Dryads went from hot elf-maids who rely on their Charm Person spells to bewitch unwitting fools into becoming their guardians into dangerous shapeshifting fey who are capable of assuming a tree-like form and ripping defilers of the woodlands apart with their bare hands. Nymphs went from super-sexy elf-maids to being either dangerously self-centered and amoral hedonists (spring nymphs), coldly aloof chessmasters (summer nymphs), hoarders of forbidden knowledge (autumn nymphs), proto-dryads (wood nymphs), or Social Darwinist Egomaniac Hunters (winter nymphs). Mention is also made of cannibalistic pixie clans. Ravenloft: The Shadow Fey were invented to create fey based more on the dark fairytale aesthetic, whereas traditional Dungeons & Dragons fey tended to be cute, sexy, comic relief, or any combination thereof. |

The indie game The Path is a psychological horror game inspired by Little Red Riding Hood. You take one of six sisters based on the character (including innocent little Robin and gloomy Goth Ruby) on a path through "the woods". Despite you being instructed to "go to grandma's house, and don't stray from the path", you're supposed to wander off the path, confront the metaphorical (or sometimes literal) wolf, and quite possibly get scared out of your mind. | |

The Black Company casually does this at one point, mentioning character who was prototype of all Sleeping Beauty stories in this world. As it turns out, she never woke up. Worse, certain nobleman married and raped her to have a heir. She never even knew she had given birth. And two of children grew up to become ones of the most feared and despised people in history, Lady and Soulcatcher. | |

So Rot Vie Blut is a Dark Fic of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs inspired by the various grimmifications of the fairy-tale. Grimhilde has tried to be nice to her stepdaughter Snow White, but Snow White has always been a cold Enfant Terrible towards her. As she grows, Snow White becomes a murderous Fille Fatale who wants Grimhilde dead so she can take the throne sooner than expected. | |

In the original "Rapunzel" Fairy Tale, the prince is blinded, and the heroine's Swiss-Army Tears restore his eyesight. In Disney's adaptation Tangled, of all places, the villain, in an odd moment of Grimmification in an otherwise Disneyfied story, stabs and kills him, and Rapunzel holds her dead lover in her arms before her tears bring him back to life. What's more is that the story really plays up the Freudian elements between Rapunzel and her stepmother - showing Gothel as a textbook emotional abuser. Additionally the stepmother gets a rather dark Death by Adaptation when she just disappeared from the original. | |

Sound Horizon's 7th Story CD Märchen (German for "fairytale") is about fairytales. They're quite dark, being based on the Grimm versions instead of the Disney versions, and then there's also a hint about there being a "real" side and a "fantasy/ lie" side to them and the fantastic events being metaphors for more mundane, but equally (or, in some cases, more) dark events (Idoko/Goldmary falling into a well, dying and her younger sister spreading the plague, for example). Although even without that extrapolation, some of them are still considerably darker and more twisted than the Grimm versions in the plain text, probably one of the biggest cases being "Kuroki Okami no Yado" (based on The Man in the Gallows), which in Grimm was a very short thing about a woman who tries to feed some guests by stealing a liver from a criminal who'd been hanged. That night, the criminal knocks on the door and an exchange takes place that's basically him asking for his liver back. In Kuroki Okami no Yado, it's implied that the old lady's actually been doing that for a while to feed the guests at her inn, and the story really focuses on a girl she took in and subsequently murdered and hung for her liver. Said girl had already been through a war that had devastated her village and had been sold to the old lady. And, by the way, the song makes clear that they aren't sure if the old lady's actually a guy. |

Snow White & the Huntsman overlaps this with turning the story into a fantasy epic. The Evil Queen becomes a warlord who conquers various kingdoms and her presence literally sucks the life out of the area. She's also shown to drain the youth out of innocent girls to maintain her own beauty. Additionally Snow White is an Action Survivor that must lead an army to defeat the queen, while the Prince Charming is a vigilante. Despite this, the film is on the idealistic end of the Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism. Ironically the sequel is Lighter and Softer. | |

Some of the versions of the characters in Fables are far darker, others are spot-on with the original story, and still others are changed for the better. For example, the Big Bad Wolf's reformation and redemption... completely absent in many (if not most) of the old stories. Then again, the BBW didn't slaughter hundreds of thousands of people over millennia in the original fairy tales, nor was he an elemental semi-deity. | |

Soul Sacrifice Delta introduces Archfiends based off of Grimm's fairy tales to the roster. For those unfamiliar, Archfiends are the result of people making deals with the Sacred Chalice, and subsequently mutating into a monster that wouldn't be out of place in Berserk. Cinderella, for example, is a centauroid centipede-beast with hundreds of glass legs and the distorted face of the prince growing out the back. Hansel and Gretel is an entire candy village with a pair of giant locusts covered in frosting in the vague shape of a little boy and girl popping out of the gingerbread houses. Red Riding Hood is a giant wolf-like suit of armor with the skeletal face of a witch erupting from its midriff. Should just give you an idea of how twisted the world of Soul Sacrifice is. | |

The most prominent use of this is for Alice's Adventures in Wonderland: American McGee's video game adaptation and the upcoming Marilyn Manson movie Phantasmagoria. However, the original book was a satire of children's stories, and the version most people are familiar with never underwent much Bowdlerization. For some reason, people seem eager to equate the bizarre with the gruesome. Also, the Cheshire Cat is insanely creepy, and Alice's Adventures in Wonderland lends itself to many alternate and creepy interpretations. There's also a '70s-era porn version of Alice in Wonderland. Sucker Punch takes this to its logical extreme by turning the story into a violent, hyper-sexualized action movie. Directed by the same guy who did 300, Watchmen and the Dawn of the Dead (2004) remake. |

Kaori Yuki's Ludwig Revolution is about a necrophiliac, perverted prince and keeps all the original unpleasant aspects of the original fairy tales, then adds a few more, twisting the stories further and further. In the first chapter, "Snow White" is incestuous and loves manipulating people. And then she dies. Lampshaded during the "Cinderella" arc, when the author mentions the stepsisters mutilating themselves. In their retelling, the shoe is too big, and the sisters say that it's not the problem. | |

Cheshire Crossing is pretty low-key about it, but makes it very clear that Alice and Dorothy came out of their experiences in another dimension with a whole bunch of emotional baggage that their experiences with early 20th century psychiatric care have not helped at all.

Stephen Sondheim's musical Into the Woods, a deconstruction of fairy tales, spends its first act telling the combined stories of "Jack and the Beanstalk", "Little Red Riding Hood", "Rapunzel", and "Cinderella", along with an original story along the same lines about a baker and his wife that want to have a child and live next door to the witch from "Rapunzel". Then the second act examines the aftermath of everyone's selfish behavior and the bloodshed that ensues. It also uses the less extreme version of the standard Grimmification of "Little Red Riding Hood" — her song "I Know Things Now" being even more blatantly about lost innocence than the original story was. The wolf's, er, prominent genitalia in the filmed version. And the double entendres in "Hello, Little Girl". "Look at that flesh, pink and plump!" And the mentions of "carnality". He actually hip-thrusts at the audience at the end. The Wolf and Prince Charming are traditionally played by the same actor. This is no accident. |

God of War: The series is a Grimmification of Greek myths (and several sword-and-sandal movies) wrapped around a new storyline. While a lot of things are gorier, some things were bowdlerised, or at least abandoned due to squick: the fact that several Olympians are married to their sisters, for example. Ares, Theseus, Perseus... they definitely get the Grimmification, whereas Athena gets reduced to a Neutral Female. God of War (PS4) does the same thing, this time with Norse Mythology. To name one specific example, in classical Mythology, Baldr was the ultimate Nice Guy whose mother Frigg gave him Nigh-Invulnerability by making everything in the world promise not to harm him; however, Loki ended up killing Baldr with mistletoe, the one thing Frigg forgot about. In GOW, Baldr is a gigantic Jerkass who wants to kill Frigg because the invulnerability also dulled his senses to the point where he doesn't feel anything at all, and Frigg is so overprotective that she would rather let him kill her than remove the "curse" and risk anything hurting him. Loki still kills Baldr with mistletoe arrows, but here it's an act of self-defense (not to mention accidental). |

JAGS Wonderland, a horror RPG for the JAGS universal system: Wonderland is real, but it's an otherspace where logic and reason completely break down and the major personages of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland are basically the Great Old Ones, seeking to reduce humanity to its base elements so they can figure out why we keep mucking up the universe with higher reasoning. Oh, and Wonderland also takes the form of a mental illness not unlike schizophrenia, only you can physically interact with the "hallucinations" and "go down the rabbit hole." And did we mention it's contagious? Ahough it's unique as, unlike many Grimmifications, Earn Your Happy Ending is far more then just possible. | |

Among other things, Cinderella is a violent sadist, Red Riding Hood is a Psychopathic Manchild, Gretel carries around Hansel's severed head and believes he's still alive (he is, and that's not Hansel's head), and Snow White is a sociopathic Knight Templar. | |

Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition deliberately redesigned its fey to be darker and more threatening than their traditional D&D presentation. Dryads went from hot elf-maids who rely on their Charm Person spells to bewitch unwitting fools into becoming their guardians into dangerous shapeshifting fey who are capable of assuming a tree-like form and ripping defilers of the woodlands apart with their bare hands. Nymphs went from super-sexy elf-maids to being either dangerously self-centered and amoral hedonists (spring nymphs), coldly aloof chessmasters (summer nymphs), hoarders of forbidden knowledge (autumn nymphs), proto-dryads (wood nymphs), or Social Darwinist Egomaniac Hunters (winter nymphs). Mention is also made of cannibalistic pixie clans. | |

A very common tool in MLP:FIM fanfics and fanart. Well, the source is very soft, so it does require some darkening to be worth a non-childish fic, but some people take this up to eleven. The Bridge sticks to the Equestrian canon for the most part, but when a gumiho is introduced it's almost directly lifted from Korean Nine-Tailed Fox mythology. The monster is a sadistic cannibalistic murderer instead of the often toned-down, playful trickster seducer more common in modern fiction. |

Text adventure game Bronze by Emily Short is an adaptation of the "Beauty and the Beast" story where the Beast has inherited a Deal with the Devil from his predecessors, and the servants of the castle are spirits rather than metamorphosed living people. Also, one of the possible endings lets the player break the curse by killing the Beast. | |

Lost Tales of Fantasia gives the Darker and Edgier treatment to everything produced by Disney, including, of course, the fairy tale adaptations. A special example in that it grimmifies the adaptation stories, and not the original ones. | |

American McGee's Alice, which chronicles the now orphaned and mentally insane Alice's battle for sanity, in what can be only described as a goth child's nightmare come true. Wonderland is an extension of Alice's psyche, and she's been catatonic in an asylum ever since her home burned down, killing her entire family but her. As such, Wonderland has become a twisted, nightmarish shadow of its former self. The Queen of Hearts is now an Eldritch Abomination whose living tentacles are literally suffocating the land; the Hatter has gone from Cloud Cuckoolander to actually insane, developing an obsession with time and transforming the March Hare and Dormouse into heavily-drugged cyborgs; the Duchess is eating people; and the half-mechanical, half-dragon Jabberwock is a manifestation of Alice's survivor's guilt, endlessly mocking her for failing to save her family. The closest ally Alice has is the Cheshire Cat, and even he's now an emaciated, riddle-spouting Trickster Mentor. Alice: Madness Returns is even grimmer — Wonderland has turned into a Crapsack World, and in the real world, Alice is being "treated" by a Psycho Psychologist who wants her to forget everything so he can pimp her out as a child prostitute; oh, and he was also responsible for the fire that killed Alice's family from the first game. He also raped Alice's sister, leaving her in a catatonic state before Alice's home on fire to keep his secret from getting out. As before, Alice's fragile sanity is manifesting in a new nightmare for Wonderland: the Infernal Train, a massive, world-destroying locomotive that's tearing up the earth itself as it crosses the dream world. We also meet some new characters from the Alice books who have similarly undergone horrific changes: the Carpenter, for example, is now a psychotic showman who's mounting plays in Wonderland's red-light district, while the Walrus, his star, is a monstrously obese glutton that happily devours sentient oyster-human hybrids while talking about the futility of life. |

American McGee's Grimm is a platform game where you perform a literal version of this: the player character is a sarcastic, ugly little dwarf named Grimm who's tired of "cutesy" fairy tales, so he goes around messing them up and making them gruesome and scary again. He takes on various tales from The Brothers Grimm and other sources, from classics like "Cinderella" and "Puss in Boots" to more obscure tales like "The Girl Without Hands" and "A Boy Learns What Fear Is". He also (accidentally) subverted this when he got to Red Riding Hood. It manages to be Lighter and Softer (if you ignore the random curse words) than the original by having the wolf get a mercy killing via ax to the stomach: a far better fate than drowning in a well or starving to death. The original is far darker (no friendly woodsman for one). Although the part with keeping the Woodsman was intentional — he comments on the original version where she dies, but decides to stick with a modification of the more familiar version. | |

Beastly is a modern day adaptation of "Beauty and the Beast" - in which the "Beauty" (a poor girl named Lindy Owens) lives alone with her sleazy drug-user father who ultimately basically sells her into slavery to the "Beast" (a teenage boy under a spell) after trying to break into the Beast's house to steal stuff. And later, the Beast has to rescue Lindy from another drug dealer, who implies that her father sold her to him as well, most likely for prostitution. | |

Red from Ever After is very much on the Ax-Crazy end of the spectrum, using a saw as her weapon of choice. Her introduction scene has her taking the saw to the guards and one of the nurses of the asylum in a bloody rampage before being subdued by Puss-In-Boots. Thanks to Dr. Crooked, they get better. | |

In their Face/Off, expect this trope whenever the artists are asked to do anything fairy-tale related, as in the finale of the first season. Which involved Little Red Riding Hood with a gun arm, among other things. (Although Laura's Swan Lake makeups were actually an aversion.) | |

The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen is an example of this done with Public Domain Characters. While he reintroduces some parts bowdlerised in the past, such as Captain Nemo being Indian (Jules Verne originally meant for Nemo to be Polish, but Verne's publisher made him change it to avoid offending the Russians. Obviously the publisher didn't care about offending the British), he also adds a lot of sex and violence completely absent from the originals. However, he was deconstructing these works rather than claiming to be recreating the original. Excessive sex and violence were also common in the Victorian penny dreadfuls it's openly inspired by. | |

Once Upon a Time: The Evil Queen had an abusive mother who murdered her lover and forced her to marry Snow's father. What's more is that it's eventually revealed she orchestrated the Queen's death. Likewise when Snow flees into the woods, she becomes a forest bandit and meets Prince Charming while robbing his carriage. Cinderella's Fairy Godmother gets blown up within two minutes and Ella's wish to go to the ball comes from a Deal with the Devil - where the price turns out to be her first born child. Red Riding Hood's village is terrorised by a werewolf every month at the full moon. She thinks it might be her love interest. But it's really her and she's descended from a family of werewolves. Then she eats the boyfriend. Peter Pan is the Big Bad of Season 3. His shadow kidnaps children and drags them to Neverland - which is a Teenage Wasteland. It also turns out he was an adult man who abandoned his son and de-aged himself to gain great magical power. |

Buffy the Vampire Slayer had an episode where Hansel and Gretel were evil creatures who fed off of paranoia and hatred. They would appear, fake their own deaths, and then use this as an excuse to rile a town up to a witch hunt. Both Buffy and Willow were nearly burned at the stake, by their own mothers. | |

Freeway is at its core a modern remake of Little Red Riding Hood, with Little Red cast as a good-natured, but tactless and illiterate juvenile delinquent (It's Little Red Riding Hood! Get it?), the Big Bad Wolf as a sexual predator/serial killer/famous child psychologist, and the woodsman as the one cop who's willing to believe the foul-mouthed little guttersnipe over the famous shrink. | |

The Bridge sticks to the Equestrian canon for the most part, but when a gumiho is introduced it's almost directly lifted from Korean Nine-Tailed Fox mythology. The monster is a sadistic cannibalistic murderer instead of the often toned-down, playful trickster seducer more common in modern fiction. | |

Mostly averted in Time Lord Fairy Tales, which recasts various European fairy and folktales in the Whoniverse, because Doctor Who itself has plenty of terror and violence and most of the stories swap one grisly demise for a villain with its Whoniverse equivalent: Where the baddies in "Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves" get soaked in boiling oil to finish them off, "Andiba and the Four Slitheen" destroys its villains with vinegar, which they are fatally allergic to. But "Cinderella and the Magic Box" indulges in this when it's revealed that the Lord of the castle and his court are vampires, and the Eleventh Doctor has sent her to the royal ball as a sort of Trojan horse, equipping her with the means to destroy them. All he tells her is to use the sonic screwdriver at midnight.... | |

The series is a Grimmification of Greek myths (and several sword-and-sandal movies) wrapped around a new storyline. While a lot of things are gorier, some things were bowdlerised, or at least abandoned due to squick: the fact that several Olympians are married to their sisters, for example. Ares, Theseus, Perseus... they definitely get the Grimmification, whereas Athena gets reduced to a Neutral Female. | |

Many episodes of Grimm's Fairy Tale Classics, the Nippon Animation series about Grimm's fairy tales, use this while still keeping the show appropriate for children. In "Hansel and Gretel", both the white bird and the witch turn into demons (and the witch's house is presented as much scarier than in the story). "The Iron Stove" is also darker than its source by including a conflict between the princess and the witch over the prince. In "The Worn-Out Dancing Shoes", the mystery men who are dancing with the princesses turn out to be monsters, and attack the princesses when the soldier reveals their secret. |

Charmed downplays it in its fairy-tale-themed episode. But the Cinderella analogue gets turned into a pumpkin and nearly squished - and her prince analogue is under the control of a Wicked Witch. The Red Riding Hood analogue manages to save herself from the wolf's attack, by blowing him up from the inside with her powers. The Snow White analogue actually dies and is only saved when the Wicked Witch is defeated. | |

In the same vein, Red Riding Hood is a Darker and Edgier (and sexier) retelling of the titular fable. Now the story is more of a whodunnit as the big bad wolf becomes a werewolf that terrorises the village. In the first scene it murders Red's sister. | |

There exists a Hellsing fic called Snow White, which re-imagines the classic fairy tale with Alucard and Integra playing the parts of Snow White and the Prince. Respectively. Also of note is Alexander Anderson as the Huntsman and the Major as the personality inside the magic mirror. It is exactly as insane, gory, and bizarrely poetic as you would expect. | |
