5	Once upon a time, there was a brother and sister named Hansel (Creator/MichaelWelch) and Gretel (Creator/MollyQuinn). Gretel and her boyfriend Ashton (Creator/AndrewJamesAllen) are potheads who've just stumbled upon a special blend called Black Forest, made by a little old lady from Pasadena (Creator/LaraFlynnBoyle). Ashton decides to get a stash straight from the old lady...and that's when the trouble begins. Eventually, Gretel goes on a mission to save her boyfriend...only to get drawn into a terrifying struggle with a witch with a bad case of the munchies.

7	After awhile in DevelopmentHell (actually, Distribution Hell; the movie was pretty much finished but couldn't find a distributor due to the subject matter), the film was released on DVD in early 2013 by Tribeca Films. The film became available on Netflix in August 2013.
8	----
9	!!''Hansel and Gretel Get Baked'' contains the following tropes:
10
11	* AndStarring: Lara Flynn Boyle gets an "and" with the last credit. Creator/CaryElwes gets a "with" credit...and people will have to watch the movie again [[BillingDisplacement to figure out just where in the movie he is]].[[note]]He's the power company guy who gets killed before the opening credits.[[/note]]
12	* AnimateDead: [[spoiler:Agnes does this to Benny, then to Carlos.]]
13	* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler: Carlos and his thugs get killed by Agnes. But since they used to be brutish and murderous drug dealers no one will miss them.]]
14	* BrotherSisterTeam: Of course.
15	* DarkerAndEdgier
16	* DeadStarWalking: Creator/CaryElwes has top billing, but is the first victim.
17	* DistressedDude: Instead of Hansel this time, it's Ashton who's the distressed dude. [[spoiler:He doesn't last long.]]
18	* EyeScream: [[spoiler:Ashton]] gets a fork in the eye. And they don't cut away.
19	* FamilyUnfriendlyDeath: Pretty much all of them.
20	* GangBangers: Carlos and his thugs. Benny was a part of his gang, until he found the Black Forest High.
21	* GingerbreadHouse: Agnes' house isn't made of gingerbread, but she has a miniature gingerbread house in her living room. She [[SchmuckBait warns her prospective buyers not to touch it]].
22	* ImAHumanitarian: Agnes, of course.
23	* KillItWithFire / MurderByCremation: [[spoiler:Except she survives.]]
24	* LifeEnergy: Agnes drains the life force out of [[spoiler:Ashton and one of Carlos' thugs]] to grow younger.
25	* MultipleReferencePun: Agnes is initially as a little old lady from Pasadena...and they reference the Beach Boys. It also gives Gretel what amounts to a QuipToBlack:
26	-->'''Gretel:''' Can you take me to Pasadena?\
27	'''Hansel:''' What's in Pasadena?\
28	'''Gretel:''' ''({{beat}})''' A little old lady.
29	* ParentalAbandonment: In this version of the fairy tale, Hansel and Gretel's parents are nowhere to be found. All we hear of them is a note to Hansel at the beginning of the movie.
30	* PoliceAreUseless: When Ashton goes missing, Gretel tries to go to the police, who refuse to help because Ashton's a known druggie. Later, when they actually do decide to investigate, [[spoiler:they're taken out instantly by a pissed-off Agnes]].
31	* PunBasedTitle: "Baked" doesn't necessarily mean in an oven. It means [[StonerFlick something else entirely]].
32	* TrailOfBreadCrumbs: Except in this case, they're Skittles. Benny's girlfriend Bianca acts as the birds in this instance.
33	* WickedWitch: Agnes
