Undead appendages, backwoods suspense, and... Little Red Riding Hood?! Oh lawd, it's about to get pretty dark! Join these ‘90s kids as they get back to their roots with this southern gothic folktale turned childhood bookshelf staple. Trace with them the daunting heritage of a vengeful fictional critter and the strangely familiar motifs that accompany it, including but not limited to expressions of guilt, grief, grave robbing, swamp witches, and cannibalism. Luckily, we learn that these stories CAN empower folks, inevitable as the endings may be, and provide an avenue both to cope with our fears and mercilessly jump scare one another.
