10 Creepy, Sexy Fairy Tales That Should Be Films
I’m with io9 on this one. Instead of going after the same old fairy tales, Hollywood should look for some other material. Rapunzel, Vasilisa the Beautiful (a Russian tale I absolutely love), the original Nutcracker tale, Tam Lin, Bluebeard, Arabian Nights and some myths made the list. Great read.
