Fairy Tales (1978)


A musical adaptation of several children's fairy tales...like Little Bo Peep, Snow White, and many others we all grew up with. So, what's the catch? Glad you asked. These are the adult versions of these classic tales, with raunchy humor and full-frontal nudity. The little old lady who lived in a shoe? She now runs a bordello. Ha ha. Snow White? Bumpin' uglies with a bed full of dwarves. Nyuk, nyuk. As you might guess, it all gets pretty old fast. One thing I have to say, though, is that some of the songs aren't that bad. And there's the old guy at the end of the film trying to sell official licensed Fairy Tales merchandise, and I think he is hysterical. Other than that, it's no big deal. Mostly notable for the first appearance of b-movie scream queen Linnea Quigley. Linnea has appeared in dozens of horror films, and she dies in almost every one. She appears at the end of the film (as Sleeping Beauty), and does a different kind of screaming here...if you know what I mean.
