Actors Potraying as Siblings (Brother & Sister):
It's FUNNY how actors playing siblings often exhibit stronger chemistry than their romantic counterparts, leading to discomfort and confusion among viewers. Sometimes, there even exists a ship dynamic that could be problematic for some, while others enjoy the unique bond portrayed between the supposed siblings. It's intriguing to witness the actors' chemistry not only on screen but also behind the scenes and during interviews. Not forgetting if both the actors are good-looking even Voice Actors contributes to this "Taboo Chemistry." Now, whenever I come across a Film or TV series featuring a storyline involving a brother and sister, I can't help but anticipate the type of chemistry the actors will exhibit. Oh, the anticipation!

I decided to age Samantha up to a young adult so here's what she looks like now plus her husband, Maximus Grimm and their daughter Charlotte.
Well, the first day in the new house didn't start off very good. Oh, and the ginger boy is Charlotte's boyfriend, Alistair.
Samantha: We're having a baby!
Alistair and Charlotte wanted to have a picnic.
Alistair: I love your daughter, but I'm not sure if our relationship is gonna work out.
Samantha: Well, you had better work on it.
I don't know why you have to be level 2 in the romance skill to share a freaking box of treats with your significant other.
Charlotte: What do you wanna do about this?
Alistair: I don't know. I want to be with you, but what if things don't work out between us?
Charlotte: We could always just have a science baby when we're older and not tell my parents.

1... 2...
Beacon had fallen, despite the desperate actions of her defenders. The death toll was horrendous, especially among the civilian population that had been in attendance for the tournament. Many of the students and soldiers that had stepping up to do their duty had also fallen to the onslaught of grimm... Jaune was one of those number.
Pyrrha was in Ansel with Nora and Ren. They had come to Jaune's hometown to return his body and possessions. As she hobbled about on her crutches... she was wracked with guilty and sorrow. Ruby had arrived in time to save her... but no one had been able to save Jaune.
No one was sure what happened to the rocket locker she had forced him into. Either it malfunctioned or had some mid air collision with the innumerable grimm that had filled the skies. But that was a moot point at this stage. Jaune had drowned. The locker that was meant to take him to safety, becoming a death trap when it fell into the river that meandered through the City of Vale.
The Arc family was broken with grief, and the normally open and welcoming family had closed in upon itself. Even more so with the return of Jaune's remains and affects. So Pyrrha, Ren and Nora found themselves wandering the fair sized hamlet looking for accommodations.
"Anyone else noticing how creepy it is that ever kid we pass is starting at Pyrrha?" Nora asked in a low voice.
"Most likely fans." Pyrrha muttered her voice dripping with regret.
"I don't think that's the case." Ren commented as he too had noticed the apathetic, and sometimes hostile looks the children, and only the children were giving the trio.
That brought Pyrrha out of her muddled and sorrow filled thoughts, to look about. Her teammates were right. Each and every child, was giving the trio similar looks. From children that looked no older that five or six, all the way to ones pushing at the cusp of adulthood. Their dead and glazed eyes following the trio's movements.
"I think we should get out of her, and back to patch, or Argus." Nora commented as she stepped closer to her teammates and friends.
"The earliest flight is in two..." Ren started to speak only to be cut off as a pair of young girls in summer dresses that had been skipping rope towards them suddenly stopped...
"1..." the first sung out in a toneless voice.
"2..." the second added in an equally disquieting voice.
"1... 2..." came a chorus of similar voices as a small gaggle to teens slowed their passing. Each head turning towards the trio.
"Ren? Pyr?" Nora asked with an obviously shaking voice.
"1... 2..." more children repeated the set of numbers. Their voices taking on a flat sing-song quality.
"Johnny, get back here!"
"Samantha where are you going?" came the shouts of parents whose children suddenly walked off, joining the gathering mob starting to surround the remains of team JNPR.
Ren, Nora and Pyrrha closed upon each other. Seeking support by close proximity with the others.
"1... 2... Jauney's coming for you..."
That simple phrase flatly sung out by the mass of children caused Pyrrha's breath to catch in her thorught.
"3... 4... better lock your door..."
Nora was completely creeped out. The words burrowing into her mind.
"5... 6... grave a crucifix..."
Ren struggled to us his semblance. Attempting to quell the rising feelings of trepidation and dismay.
"7... and... 8... gonna stay up late..."
Pyrrha gasped, losing her balance, as she stumbled backwards. Her crutches going out from under her. The appearance behind the gathers children of what she could only describe as a soddened figure clad in a sopping Pumpkin Pete hoodie, starling her.
"9... 10... never... sleep... again."
With those final words the children disbursed as silently as they had gathered.
/==/
In EverNight Keep Cinder was wandering the halls, looking for Emerald. She had need of her subordinate, and the green haired girl was nowhere to be found... until Cinder turned down the corridor towards their lodgings and found her standing alone in the center of the hall.
"Emerald?" Cinder croaked out in a voice that was nothing but a husky whisper.
Emerald's head was tilted and her dead, glassed over eyes stared froward, but at the mention of her name, she mechanically turned her gaze upon Cinder.
"1... 2... Jauney's coming for you..."
/===/
A/N I got inspired to do this snippet because of another twisted idea that just wouldn't leave my head/ Listened to this the enture time I wrote...

OC HALLOWEEN CHALLENGE 2024 — Day Two: Mystical Communication
There are tons of ways we think we can communicate with those beyond our realm such as Tarot Cards, Oujia Boards, Prayer, EMFs, or even through other people with otherworldly powers. Which method would your oc use? Or maybe they are the communication tool?
Samantha Ross (Ghostbusters) is a medium, capable of communicating with and even, occasionally, controlling the spirits of the dead, as well as feeling the psychic energy that exists all around us. These powers are something that runs in her bloodline, but she has never been able to properly activate them… until ghosts begin to flood New York and Samantha and her friends must face off against a cruel, powerful being that considers itself a god, which is when Samantha feels an unexpected energy beginning to stir within her.

Tabby appreciated her mother's hard work and ethic, but desperately wanted to find her own path - though she was unsure what that would be. When the opportunity comes to attend Auradon Prep, she takes it, changing her last name to escape being grouped in with the royal pains and get by on her personality, not her status. She joins the track team, soon becoming the student leader, and joins the student council. She also helps out in the kitchen whenever she can. Tabby is the person you come to for help, which is how she meets (and eventually falls for) Falk White. She enjoys her mother's cooking in town every week and likes spending time with her friends. But when the VKs arrive at Auradon and things begin to go awry, Tabby must figure out what is truly most important to her as she steps up to lead her friends through tough times.

Spooky season fairytales (5)
We have looked at movies (or additional material) exploring individual fairytales that could fit the spooky season. For the candy and the witchy, we looked at Hansel and Gretel. For the apples and the disguises, Snow White. For the monsters and horror, Little Red Riding Hood. But now let's take a look at those stories that are definitively dark, spooky, horrifying stories... But that use several fairytales together at once.
Let's start with...
Terry Gilliam's The Brothers Grimm.
Aka probably the most disturbing fairytale movie you will have ever seen. And not even fully disturbing on purpose... I mean, there are many moments intended to be disturbing, but there's just as many that were disturbing by accident. But this movie marked an entire generation and gave nightmares to many, many people. Be ready... for disturbing stuff.
The plot of the story is quite simple to explain, but it hides deeper things. The story is basically an alternative history exploring a different incarnation of the brothers Grimm, now poor crooks trying to make a life in a Germany ravaged by the Napoleonian wars by being fake "ghost/witch/goblin" hunters, using their folkloric knowledge to play on the terror of villagers. It all backfires on them, however, when the French authorities send them to "investigate" a problem of missing girls in a remote village - a series of mysterious disappearances the villagers explain with a bunch of superstitions and folktales. The two brothers will then discover that some fairytales are real, and evil lurks within the woods...
Now, there is ONE thing, one VERY important thing to know to understand the nature of this movie. This movie was the result of a sterile and useless war that disappointed everyone - and this is why you have in effect a movie that could have been great, but is just... okay, alright, with some very good, some very bad... and a LOT of disturbingness. This movie is a Terry Gilliam product, a Terry Gilliam fantasy film, and if you know his other works, you'll recognize his brand. His exploration of the themes of dreams, belief, escapism, hope in front of corruption, despair, the death of the imagination and tyranny ; his style of oniric, surrealistic fantasy superposing creepy and dark creatures with extravagant and comical characters resulting in disturbing comedy and absurd horror and unsettling wonders. We are talking of the man behind Brazil, The Adventures of Baron Munchaunsen, Time Badits, The Zero Theorem, The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, etc etc... And this movie still bears the mark of his imagination, mind and style, and you can see how he twisted fairytales into a horrifying nightmare. But it is only half of a Gilliam film.
Because the other half was the result of another man imposing with brute power, a lot of anger, and a lot of money, his own ideas upon the piece. Bob Weinstein, yes, of the Weinstein brothers. He was a producer of the movie, and the kind of producer that was going to direct, write and do everything with the movie. Weinstein's idea of the piece was basically what would later be known as "Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters". This movie was that Weinstein wanted "The Brothers Grimm" to be. While Gilliam wanted a movie in line with his "Time Bandits", his "Brazil", his "Fisher King" and... well his Gilliam brand. But Weinstein wanted more action, more battle scenes, only big-name actors, he wanted all the women to be sexy... Heck, Bob Weinstein refused to have Gilliam's choice of Johnny Depp playing William Grimm, because he wasn't "commercial" enough, and when he was replaced by Matt Damon, Gilliam wanted Damon to wear a prosthetic nose so he looked more like the historical Grimm, only for Weinstein to refuse again because it would have ruined his "good looks". Similarly, for the main female role of Angelika Gilliam wanted Samantha Morton, but the Weinstein brothers (yes both of them) refused because she wasn't sexy, and insisted on having a sexy actress - in this case Lena Headey.
This movie was a constant, constant battle, feuds and struggles with no end - and it was so frustating that Terry Gilliam, out of spite and despair at seeing his project ruined, went on to make a separate movie while "The Brothers Grimm" was done (and this movie was the very disturbing and unfamous "Tideland", which is a good reflection of what Gilliam's state of mind was at the time). In the end, in Gilliam's own word, he managed to make a movie that wasn't what the Weinstein brothers wanted, and in such a way it was good... but he also couldn't make the movie he wanted either, and so nobody won here. And you can feel that indeed this movie is tugged between two directions, stuck between two roads, halfway between "Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters" and "The Company of Wolves", a monstrous hybrid between "Snow White and the Huntsman" and "Pan's Labyrinth".
But it still has its own horror, its own charm, you can see the movie that was intended to be made, that was half-made - and it still marked the history of fairytale cinematic adaptatons with some of the creepiest, most nightmarish ideas and imageries that ever were. This movie is probably the most disturbed adaptation of "The Gingerbread Man" you'll have ever seen, and the HORSE! By all gosh, you think Little Red Riding Hood's wolf was bad, WAIT UNTIL YOU SEE THE BIG BAD HORSE! This is a nightmare-fuel movie, people. And I do not sugar-coat this.
Next on our list would be the 2015's "Tale of Tales" movie, an Italian product (with French and British help and participation). This movie is, to my knowledge, the only movie adaptation of Basile's Pentamerone, and since it couldn't possibly cover the hundred and so stories, three were selected and readapted to fit into a greater ensemble: The Enchanted Doe, The Flea, and The Flayed Old Lady.
Together, these three stories were reinterpreted and woven to focus on the Maiden-Mother-Crone archetype (the girl-princess in The Flea, the mother-queen in The Enchanted Doe, the old women of The Flayed Old Lady), and thus explore women's relationships to men in their most negative lights ; but moreso, the movie was designed around the themes of extreme and dangerous desires - the theme of obsession.
This movie is beautifully shot and designed, with incredible sets, excellent practical special effects and gorgeous costumes - but this movie is also very mature, very sad and very dark. One thing that needs to be known is that the original Pentamerone is a comedic work. Its fairytales are all pieces of vulgar humor and extravagant farces, filled with slapstick-gore scenes and lots of sexual jokes. It wasn't the oniric folk-wonder of the Grimms, it wasn't the refined and elegant terror interwoven with modern and delicate miracles of Perrault and d'Aulnoy - these were "laugh-out-loud" and "burst-your-gut" stories of old women pissing and ogres farting loudly and husbands cheating on their wives and bad people scamming idiots before being strongly beaten up...
What this movie did was take back the stories, and remove all the humor and extravagance of it. And as the saying goes, when you remove the laugh track of a sitcom, you get an uncomfortable tragedy. This movie still has the gore, the sex, the crazy or foolish characters, the caricatures and the bizarre... But without the humor and the jokes, it all becomes sadness and horror, it becomes distubring and grotesque. In a way, this movie at the same time works as the antithesis of Basile's original work, and yet as a very faithful adaptation since, while it betrays the original intentions, it brings to light what the stories are fundamentaly made of and the themes it was driven by.
It also helps understanding the aesthetic of the movie to know that one of the main inspirations for this piece were the drawings and paintings of Goya.
And the final piece of this post would be Adam Gidwitz's "A Tale Dark and Grimm".
Now, you might be aware of a certain Netflix animated adaptation that was released not so long ago. Aka this one:
But it will not appear on this list - or rather I will mention it by extension of the original book, which is the one I wanted featured on this list.
Because very simply - the original novel is actually "darker and grimmer" than the series adaptation. Gidwitz's novel and the Netflix series both begin with a a heavy dose of dark humor, creepy slapstick and child-level jokes - but the novel relied on a progression. Tale after tale, with each new chapter in Hansel and Gretel's life, as they grew from children to adulsts, the stories got gloomier and more serious, and the humor became scarse and more cynical. There was really a neat and clear evolution from a "big laughs" goofy-gory show in the first chapters to a teary tragedy/sinister epic in the end. But with the Netflix series? They decided to emphasize the humor and jokes a lot to give the story a truly "cartoony" feeling, and they kept jokes and humor all throughout stories which originally did not have any...
So overall, while everybody called the show "dark", in truth I found it much more light-hearted and kid-friendly than the original novel X) And for this spooky season, I truly advise you go read the ORIGINAL book.
[EDIT: My friend @lapluieellepleut warned me I might have been a bit misleading with this description so I will insist: the original novel is still aimed at kids and pre-teens. Aka... this is a children's novel. This is not an adult read, not even a full teenager one. It is still a simple, sweet, funny story, though with morbid humor and trying to highlight the brutality and darkness of the Brothers Grimm fairytales. But... don't expect a Stephen King novel or a Shakespearian tragedy. Its still a kid tale. If you want something more adult in tone, go look at The Book of Lost Things - "A Tale Dark and Grimm" would be for the age range below The Book of Lost Things.]
If you have read it already, the book had two sequels to form a trilogy. The first one is "In a Glass Grimmly", which is just as good as the original ; and the second sequel (third part of the trilogy) is "The Grimm Conclusion"... Which I did not read. I heard it isn't as good as the others and the quality drops, but I'll give you more info once I actually read it.
Oh, and if you are ever in France or able to read French, do yourself a favor and pick the French edition of this book, aka, this one:
"The terrifying tale and bloody fate of Hansel and Gretel". On top of having perfectly creepy shadow-puppet silhouettes full page illustrations, it also uses a color-code for the text (mixing night-black and blood-red) similar to what for example The Neverending Story used. Truly emphasizes the creepiness and darkness of the novel - while making it even more obvious the humoristic part and more jarring the jokes.
