For all the adaptations of this story, it was surprising to get into the original and realize how short and un-Horseman-focused it really is. It was very evocative of autumn; I love the descriptions of the landscape and foods.

Personally I'm inclined to take the more supernatural angle, considering its sibling tales.

Wow! Vastly different from the simplified animated Disney version. Not nearly as scary as Disney would have you believe. Actually rather disappointing.
