'Shrove Tuesday', also known as 'Shrove Tuesday: The Legend Of Pancake Marion', is a short film, stylistically based on the fairytales created by the Brothers Grimm. It was produced in the United Kingdom in 2009, and directed by Lee Andrew Matthews.http://www.thisisgloucestershire.co.uk/gloucestershireheadlines/Budding-director-wows-Cleeve-horror-flick/article-1491378-detail/article.html
It tells the story of Pancake Marion, an 18th-century Witch, who was burned alive for her 'blasphemous' ways. Her evil spirit returned whenever a protective flower (planted to keep her at bay) had wilted, or was picked by local children.
A young girl finds the flower, and thus begins a 22-minute hell ride into your darkest fears.
