A campy, tongue-in-cheek horror anthology that playfully subverts fairy tales with gore and monster mayhem, framed as bedtime stories told by an uncle to his young charges.

A babysitting uncle tells his charges three horror stories: about a killer witch; Little Red Riding Hood and a werewolf; and Goldi Lox and the three bears.
