Anyone who's ever eaten a pot brownie can attest to one thing ... those things can be friggin' lethal as the chocolatey goodness keeps you consuming without any regard for how much THC you're putting into your system. What better device could there be to trap kids if you're a modern-day witch?

According to Variety a trio of indie companies are prepping an alternate take on the Grimm brothers' classic fairy tale Hansel and Gretel. Duane Journey will direct Black Forest: Hansel and Gretel & The 420 Witch, which concerns "a witch living in Pasadena who lures teens into her house with a special blend of marijuana so she can eat them in order to maintain her youth." David Tillman penned the screenplay.

Twilight actor Michael Welch and "Castle" star Molly Quinn will play the endangered siblings, while Lara Flynn Boyle (Men in Black II) will play the sinister witch.

Production is scheduled to start on November 12th in Los Angeles.
