Tales from the Darkside

There is a story in Tales from the Darkside: The Movie that is very similar to "Yuki-Onna." The man in the movie witnesses a gargoyle devour someone in a dark alley. The gargoyle catches the man and tells him he can go free if he promises to never tell anyone what he has seen. Obviously the man makes the promise. Later while walking home, he meets a woman. He ends up marrying this woman and having children with her. One day he decides he should tell her what he saw that fateful night. Sounds familiar right? Well this guy wishes he were Minokichi. All Minokichi has to do is be nice to his children. In the movie, the wife and children turn into gargoyles and eat the man.

  1. These stories both go along with the fear of women and women destroying the life of men
