This week's story session features the classic Hansel and Gretel, that old tale about abandoning children to die in the woods, only for them to be kidnapped by an old witch who can only do food magic and doesn't really seem to be a legitimate threat in any way. I honestly don't know why this was such a difficult situation for the kids to get out of. We'll get into all that and more on this week's story session!

Welcome to the dark, strange, hilarious world of The ShadowBear Story Sessions.

Each week host Zach Stewart digs into the dark, twisted, brutal original versions of the folk tales, fairy tales, myths, and legends that laid the foundation for all the movies, TV, and other stories we know and love today. These aren't the watered-down family-friendly fairy tales you know. These are the grisly originals in all their glory.

At the end of each episode I adapt the story into a guaranteed smash hit movie or TV show. Share your own adaptation ideas by tagging us on Twitter at https://twitter.com/ShadowBearStory or Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/The_ShadowBear_Story_Sessions/
