'''''Rumpelstiltskin''''' is a 1995 horror film by Mark Jones and it stars Max Grodénchik and Kim Johnston Ulrich. It was directed by Mark Jones, the man responsible for the ''[[Leprechaun (Filmfilm)|Leprechaun]]'' series.
 
Much like his [[Leprechaun (Filmfilm)|green counterpart]], Rumpelstiltskin is a [[Darker and Edgier]] take on the fairy tale. He grants wishes to those with newborn and takes the babies for their souls.
 
The film opens in 15th century, where Rumpelstiltskin's baby-exchange deal has gone sour and is imprisoned inside a statue by a witch. He is then brought back to the present ([[The Nineties]]) by a mourning widow who accidentally makes a wish (while holding the statue) to bring back her gunned down police husband. [[Hilarity Ensues|Carnage ensues]].
