Fairy tales are scary
While Sheila and I were on our anniversary trip, we stopped by ‘Rock City’. On the walking tour through these gigantic rock formations the path leads to some series of caves. Through the caves there are a series of UV lit dioramas depicting classic fairy tales.
Each story is built in perspective as the scene leads back a cave either on the right or left of the viewer. Among them are ‘Jack and the Beanstalk’, ‘Hansel and Gretel’, ‘Little Red Riding Hood’, ‘Snow White’, ‘Rip Van Winkle’ and, of course, this one of ‘Goldilocks’.
While I’m sure they’re meant to be ‘interesting’, we found them downright freaky. Cave after cave has these horrific little people in the crux of their story.
Tim Burton would be proud.
