… is a trilogy of surrealistic horror shorts that reimagine three well-known fairy tales: Sleeping Beauty, Hansel & Gretel, and Bluebeard. It explores the horrific themes of rape, child abandonment, and domestic violence present in the original works but voiced from a modern female perspective. 

As an alternative collection of characters and outcomes within a common deck, each story is ruled by one of the Widow’s children, known as the Fates: Hysteria (Sister of Madness), Phantasma (Sister of Vengeance), and Inferna (Sister of Mercy).

“HYSTERIA” is an evolving nightmare . . . blurring real with imagined horrors, and defining the emotional experience of sexual brutality dismissed in the original “Sleeping Beauty.”
