Fairy tales, folklore and myths are vital stories we have used since before recorded time to cement cultural identities, to teach our children moral lessons, and to scare each other sitting around a camp fire blazing to keep back those ghosties who inhabit our nightmares.
Grimm has run through a big list of such stories, but there are more. I would have liked to have seen an episode about the Princess and the Pea, the Turtle and the Hare, The Prince and the Pauper, and that urban myth about the hand clutching the car door handle. It's possible one these examples was indeed treated in a Grimm episode, but I don't think so. How about the labors of Hercules from as far back as Homer?
Any other titles to add to the list? Give an idea of how it could be done, too. For instance, the Turtle fable could be structured around Hank getting hurt so that he was slowed down (know it happened before), he has a wily stalker who is playing cat and mouse with him because he's aware of the injury. But Hank somehow outsmarts the over-confident assassin and gets him first. Like that.
No fair killing Juliette or Adalind.
