Fairy tale
Other works have retold familiar fairy tales in a darker, more horrific or psychological variant aimed primarily at adults. Notable examples are Jean Cocteau’s Beauty and the Beast and The Company of Wolves, based on an Angela Carter’s retelling of Little Red Riding Hood. Likewise, Princess Mononoke, Pan’s Labyrinth, Suspiria, and Spike create new stories in this genre from fairy tale and folklore motifs.
