Most Nursery Rhymes are about Horror stories from the past. For example, the "Three blind mice" nursery rhyme. The mice get their tails cut off which is obviously part of horror and this story took place in 1992 when a blind fisherman accidentally cut off three mice tails. Another example is "Ring around the Rosy". Most people know the story behind this one. It took place in the 1970s. It is known to be an old disease where you would get a mark on your skin that appeared to look like a "ring around a rose".
