Which fairy tale is this based on?

[AdamYJ]

The story of a man who captured Death exists in many folk tale traditions. This one seems to mainly stem from an old Appalachain Jack tale usually entitled "Soldier Jack".

Have you never heard of the Jack tales? They are old Appalachian tales from the mountain folk in TN, VA, and NC. You should check them out.

For some godamn reason back in 1991my first grade teacher made us watch some of this. I say fuck her because it was boring and creepy.

Wow! I remember seeing these films on a PBS special years ago and loved them, especially "Bearskin" Incidentally, wasn't there a version of Rapunzel and the Frog Prince among them?
