> Kids stories are pretty gruesome anyway. I mean: Roald Dahl = People
glued to trees etc. What about >Kids putting
 witches into ovens..

and of course some of them are really pretty grotesque, even in the
Grimm versions - the lady villain punished by being put naked in the
box of nails and dragged through the streets; or putting Snow White's
evil stepmom in the oven at the end (and see Neil Gaiman's story, "Snow,
Glass, Apples" for quite a different take on that!)

Let's face it, in the US, boys especially grew up on monsters, and in
the UK there was once Dr. Who for your monster fix. :-)
