The original Little Red Riding Hood stories were actually much darker and more violent than the Disneyfied version we know today. In some versions, Little Red Riding Hood gets eaten by the wolf, and in others, she's forced to dances with the wolf! It's crazy to think about how our beloved children's tale had such a sinister past.
One of the most famous versions of Little Red Riding Hood was written by the Brothers Grimm in the early 19th century. Their story was a lot more gruesome than the one we're familiar with, featuring a wolf's brutal attack on Little Red Riding Hood's grandma. The Grimm brothers were known for their dark and twisted tales, and Little Red Riding Hood was no exception.
