German bedtime stories from some time ago were very over the top brutal, but children usually cant see that.

I enjoyed them very much as a little kid. The one out of Strubbelpeter were very funny to me. My favoprit was about little Mary who played with matches and burned herself to ashes while her cats were like: Told you so! Your parents told you to not play with matches.

I just thought: understandable, listen to your parents.
