Random quote: "Swords, Lances, arrows, machine guns, and even high explosives have had far less power over the fates of nations than the typhus louse, the plague flea, and the yellow-fever mosquito. Civilizations have retreated from the plasmodium of malaria, and armies have crumbled into rabbles under the onslaught of cholera spirilla, or of dysentery and typhoid bacilli. Huge areas have been devastated by the trypanosome that travels on the wings of the tsetse fly, and generations have been harassed by the syphilis of a courtier. War and conquest and that herd existence which is an accompaniment of what we call civilization have merely set the stage for these more powerful agents of human tragedy." ― Hans Zinsser, Rats, Lice and History

What does anyone else think about the Brothers Grimm?

Personally I feel that their contribution (or foundation) of horror has been under estimated.

Cannabalism. Forests. Executed bodies dangling from the gallows. Haunted castles.

The original 1815 versions are raw and full of images that horror fans will already know.

Why would anyone go to a churchyard at night and talk to their mother's grave? Why would you spend a night (or three) in a haunted castle? Why would you ignore a warning not to go in that house? Because it's horror, that's why!
