What if children's bedtime stories were more terrifying than tales meant for horror enthusiasts? Brace yourselves for a spine-tingling special on Tales of Bedlam, where we, your hosts Knob Twister and Sofa Sitter, take you through the eerie world of Heinrich Hoffmann's "Struwwelpeter."
This 1845 children's book doesn't sugarcoat its lessons, depicting gruesome consequences for misbehavior. From "Cruel Frederick," whose violent ways lead to a brutal dog attack, to "Little Suck-a-Thumb," where a tailor's scissors deliver a chilling punishment, we explore these dark tales that embody the horrors of old-fashioned parenting.
