What does the Evil Queen call the effect of the poisoned apple?

The Evil Queen calls the poisoned apple’s effect “the Sleeping Death.”

In Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, the Queen explains that the apple’s victim will fall into a death-like sleep rather than die permanently. The spell can be broken only by “love’s first kiss,” which is why the dwarfs place Snow White in a glass coffin instead of burying her after she collapses.

The phrase is part of the film’s dramatic fairy-tale logic: the Queen wants Snow White to appear dead while leaving open the possibility that the curse can be reversed. Disguised as an old peddler, she presents the apple as a magic wishing apple and persuades Snow White to take a bite.

Viewers often remember the scene as simply involving a “poisoned apple,” but the film uses a more specific expression for its consequence. “The Frozen Stare,” “The Deadly Sleep,” and “Eternal Slumber” are plausible-sounding inventions, not the wording used in the movie. The dwarfs later keep vigil until the Prince’s kiss awakens Snow White and breaks the spell.
