The original story of Charlie and the chocolate factory by Roald Dahl was pretty dark.

I’ve read it. Recently did I process that the Oompa Loompas were actually enslaved African pigmies

I just recently discovered that the kids, the uncle and Willie basically represented the seven deadly sins

Charlie wasn’t even exempt from the sins in the original movie. He was envy

The original is less then 20 pages long, rapunzel is given to gothel because her dad steals lettuce (called rapunzel) for his wife from the garden… a man falls in love with rapunzel many years later, is pushed from the tower and is blinded… rapunzel now pregnant is banished only to find her lover in a desert and cure his blindness with her tears… they lived ever after… it’s never clear if it was happily. One of my favorite fairy tales

More a children’s nursery rhyme: Ring around the Rosie. Innocent at face level, it was bout the bubonic plague

All of them? They are pretty much all based off the Brother's Grimm and are well grim.
