The Princess: Aurora
The Original: Sleeping Beauty, the tale of a young princess doomed to spend her days asleep by a vengeful witch.
Like so many fairy tales/Disney movies, her problem is resolved when a handsome prince fights his way through the thorns covering her castle and wakes her with a kiss.
The New Twist: Sleeping Death. A much bleaker look at the story, as the witch’s curse turns Aurora into a Lifeforce-style vampire who hunts at night for the energy of the castle’s residents.
With her faithful, demonic owl as her only companion, she faces a life of lonely lurching around in a half-human state.
A handsome prince turns up at one point, and he does get a kiss, but it's on the neck not the lips, and it doesn’t end well for him.
