This time it's scary... and wonderfully funny.
200 years ago, the Grimm brothers published their book of "Household Tales". Wicked Tales Five takes some of the grimmest Grimm tales and makes them wickedly funny...
* A Man of Iron rises from the pond in the middle of the woods, sealing the fate of the only child of the King and Queen.
* Stumplesnitpong is a cruel, selfish dwarf who owns a factory where tiny children work all day making clothes. He fears nothing, except rice pudding.
* It's complicated. If Geek steals the Golden Bird (with the help of a wise-cracking fox and an argumentative horse), he can marry the beautiful but scary Princess Mortia. But if she dies, he'll be buried alive with her. Decisions, decisions...
* Why is a prince trapped inside a stove for a thousand years? Why would a couple of gangster toads help a princess find it? Is he really a prince? Is she a princess? Is the stove itself real? How scary is the ending?!
* Zombie Barbie is tall, blond, slim and beautiful. She bites the heads off china doggies and takes revenge on bad dolls. But she's finally met Ken - or Ben - or Len - or whatever his name is. Surely it will all be different now? Unlikely.
* Why is Kelpie green? Why are the three princesses blue? Why does his uncle sell him to travelling circuses, passing witches, slavers and pirate captains? Can he persuade the Dragon not to eat him? It's all going to get very, very messy.
* Eva's parents have sold her to the richest man in the world, and he's coming to collect his "investment" tomorrow. Well, she is so not going!
* All for one and one for all! Deep in the Enchanted Forest, three Easter Bunnies dressed in capes, fancy hats and leather boots raise their swords and vow to fight the Bunny Curse. Meanwhile, two witch queens are planning to get rid of their inconvenient teenagers and the Snake of Doom is getting ready for dinner.
