Snow White and the Seven Dwarves: we all probably all know the grim tale! The jealous Step-Mother Queen, on hearing from her magic talking mirror of a a new beauty, sends a huntsman to collect the organs of her too-pretty-too-kind step-daughter, Snow White, who must flee the castle and run into the “Wild Forest” to escape. She then encounters 7 mining dwarves in the 7 hills of the kingdom. They take her in, but the angry stepmother pursues her, eventually tricking Snow white into eating a poisoned apple, and, to all appearances, dying. The dwarves put her in an extremely fancy glass coffin, through which a prince sees her body, “rescues” her, and marries her. The Stepmother queen must dance in red-hot iron shoes until she dies at their wedding party. Happily ever after!
So how is this funny? Where’s the joke?!
Apparently, this is true!
Well… parts of it. Most of it? That’d be wild, huh? Was Snow White a real person? Get comfy, get cozy, and let's get set to uncover Snow White's clearly creepy origins!
