So the witch that ate Hansel and Gretel wasn't just a fable. It was a warning. Kind of like Bram Stokers Dracula. And the classic Jekyll & Hyde.

And Little Red Riding Hood - your granny could actually be a child eating wolf in disguise. The whole vampire thing now seems like it was based on this - people with money and status who drink blood because they think it keeps them young, who hide their true nature from the world, who slaughter innocent people and children, and manage to get others to join their ranks. People who are all about sex and orgies etc. The vampire thing basically is them, just with a paranormal twist and including an effort to make them look glamourous instead of representing them as the grotty wizened receptacles for mutated soul-pustules that they really are.
