To the children and staff at the orphanage, Auntie Roo is a kindly American widow who gives them a lavish Christmas party each year in her mansion, Forrest Grange. In reality, she is a severely disturbed woman, who keeps the mummified remains of her little daughter in a nursery in the attic. One Christmas, her eye falls upon a little girl who reminds her of her daughter and she imprisons her in her attic. Nobody believes her brother, Christopher, when he tells them what has happened, so he goes to rescue her.

You try. She likes you better.

Aunt Roo! It's cold in here!

Children, let me out.

The key! We forgot the key.

Quick, pile some wood

against the door.

Bad children!

Bad children! Bad! Bad!

Bad, children, bad!

Witch! Witch! Witch!

"" They shoved the

wicked witch into the fire.

"And slammed the bolt

on the oven door."

No!

Come on!

No!

Don't leave me alone!

Christopher! Don't leave me.

Don't leave Aunt Roo all alone!

Don't leave me!

We've left teddy behind!

Don't leave me all alone! Katy!

Katy!

Aunt Roo will be so lonely!

Don't everybody

leave me all alone.

Aunt Roo will be so

lonely. Don't leave.

No! No!

Hurry, Christopher!

Christopher! Hurry up!

Hurry!

You take teddy.

Whoa.

Hello there,

young fella, me lad.

Well,

Is she in? Mrs. Forrest?

I've brought her a

baby roasting pig.

Here.

What's this? The

bloody house is on fire!

Mrs. Forrest? Mrs. Forrest?

Mrs. Forrest?

Mrs. Forrest?

You said she

was going to eat us!

She was. Later.

Keep clear of the house!

I'm going to get that

fire brigade, quick.

Keep clear!

A lousy lot they are, but they'd

better get out here quick.

Come on, my beauty!

Come on. Come on.

Come on!

Bloody good fire!

Apparently, it started

in the kitchen.

Tragic. Really tragic.

She didn't stand a chance.

We tried to help,

But we just couldn't

get down there.

Too hot.

Of course. Now, it's not

your fault, my dears.

Shall we take them home?

Yes, come on.

Let's get in the car.

We'll all go home.

There we are, darling.

We'll go home. Good girl.

There you are, look

after my stick for now.

Poor little devils,

they'll probably have nightmares

till the day they die.

"" Hansel and

Gretel knew the wicked witch.

"Would never harm anyone else.

"And they were happy.

"They also knew that with the

wicked witch's treasure,

"They would

never be hungry again,".

"So they lived

happily ever after."
