This Halloween, Tales of Bedlam digs up one of the Grimm Brothers’ most disturbing stories—so twisted it was removed from their original 1812 collection. “How Some Children Played at Slaughtering” isn’t your average bedtime story.
Join Micah, Dustin, and special guest Mr. Death Hades as they navigate this grim (and gruesome) two-part tale filled with unsettling child’s play, brutal consequences, and more death than you’d expect from something labeled a “fairy tale.”
With the usual dark humor, unscripted banter, and bizarre insights you love from Tales of Bedlam, this episode is sure to make you squirm—and think twice about letting kids play butcher. If you like your folklore with a side of gallows humor, this one’s for you.
Just…maybe don’t listen to it before dinner.
What did you think of this shockingly dark fairy tale? Did the Grimm Brothers go too far—or not far enough?
