Horror Movies Inspired by Popular Children's Stories

"Many popular children's stories lost their dark, disturbing aspects when they became Disneyfied. For instance, in the Hans Christian Andersen's original, the Little Mermaid never ends up with the man of her dreams. He marries someone else and Ariel sacrifices herself. In the original Pinocchio, he throws a hammer at the cricket and kills him. The Grimm version of Cinderella has the stepmother order one of her daughters to cut off her toe so she can fit into the glass slipper. France's 14th-century version of Sleeping Beauty details the girl being assaulted by the prince in her sleep.
Because there's nothing more terrifying than seeing your beloved childhood tales morph into something twisted, here is a curated list of horror movies inspired by popular children's stories. Warning: this list is not meant for children."
