Story[]
Fifteen years after Hansel and Gretel defeated the wicked witch who planned to have them for her dinner, the siblings have come of age as skilled bounty hunters. Hell-bent on retribution, they have dedicated their lives to hunting down and destroying every witch still lurking in the dark forests of their homeland. As the notorious blood moon approaches, the siblings face a great evil–one that could hold the secret to their terrifying past.
“This is something that has frustrated me, that I was complaining to Stuart about, is that all these monsters—zombies, witches, vampires, werewolves—they used to have different things, like strengths, weaknesses... flavor profiles, if you will. But they've all just kinda been mishmashed into one basic monster that they just call whatever.”
