The 1943 war-time story " Nothing But Gingerbread Left ", written decades before by science fiction writer Henry Kuttner, has a very close premise.

In the episode " Gingerbread ", the parents of Sunnydale ( under the influence of the demonic Hans and Greta ) become insanely paranoid about the supernatural's influence on their children, and prepare to burn Amy, Buffy, and Willow at the stake.

Gingerbread molds often displayed the " news ", showing carved portraits of new kings, emperors, and queens, for example.

Two other episodes in the Buffy canon are also based on, or have elements of, fairy tales: " Killed by Death ", where only sick children can see a demon who sucks away their lives, and " Gingerbread ", where a demon takes on the forms of Hansel and Gretel to create a moral panic in Sunnydale.

The second instance of role-reversal is in the episode " Gingerbread ", where again children demonstrate more wisdom than the adults.

Her mother is portrayed only once in " Gingerbread ", at first as an academic so preoccupied with her career that she is unable to communicate with Willow, and then — with Joyce — under the spell of a demon and in the throes of moral panic, attempting to burn her own daughter at the stake for being involved in witchcraft.
