Bevan Thomas<p>Otesánek is a log in a Czech fairy tale that is adopted by a childless couple. The log becomes alive, and the parents are unable to keep their new son fed. Eventually, the growing Otesánek develops a taste for human flesh. Czech director Jan Švankmajer adapted it into a movie.</p><p><a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/WyrdWednesday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WyrdWednesday</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Mythology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Mythology</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/CzechMythology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CzechMythology</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Folklore" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Folklore</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/CzechFolklore" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CzechFolklore</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/FairyTale" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FairyTale</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/CzechFairyTale" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CzechFairyTale</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Czechoslovakia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Czechoslovakia</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Horror" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Horror</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/CzechHorror" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CzechHorror</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Movie" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Movie</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/CzechMovie" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CzechMovie</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Cinema" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Cinema</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/CzechCinema" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CzechCinema</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Otesanek" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Otesanek</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/LittleOtik" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LittleOtik</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/JanSvankmajer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>JanSvankmajer</span></a></p>
