In this episode of The Freakin’ Shack, Trina and Steph step into the darker woods of fairy tale history to uncover the unsettling origins of Snow White.

Far from a gentle children’s story, the original tale reveals disturbing themes including maternal cannibalism, the true role of the huntsman, and the harsh, often misunderstood reality of the dwarves. The discussion explores the symbolism of the poisoned apple, the unsettling obsession of the prince, and the brutal punishment of the Queen.

Along the way, Trina and Steph draw thoughtful parallels between this centuries-old story and modern life, touching on beauty standards, control, jealousy, and the complex dynamics of motherhood that still echo today.

This is Snow White as you’ve never heard her before. Darker, stranger, and far more revealing.
