This is just weird enough to work I think haha. It's 22 minutes - not bad for a short film plus its narrated by Burgess Meredith aka the Penguin from the 1960's Batman series....and there's a Witch!

If anyone's interested in watching it first: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kkDmt8YsZN4

This seems to me like it would make a perfect addition to the Rifftrax Short's catalog.

Some more synopsis type information I found on a blog called The Obscurity Factor (I was looking up info on Santa Claus and the Fairy Snow Queen and came across a blog post about it that linked to this short aswell).

"Little Nicky and his mother (Anna Strasburg) leave the big city for a new home in the country. They buy one that is rumored to be haunted and upon moving in meet the witch that haunts the place (Hermione Gingold). They relegate her to the attic while they try and make the home pleasant. She becomes depressed and one day Nicky tries to cheer her up. He discovers she used to cook for the other witches that lived in the house, so he asks her to cook for them. She makes blueberry pancakes, but not just ordinary blueberry pancakes - these pancakes make people happy. When Nicky's mother tastes them, she decides to open a pancake parlor.

This film, which was narrated by Burgess Meridith, was recently written up in the NY Times. It has developed the kind of cult following that has made it a legend. It was made by Parent's Magazine and distributed through schools, to be shown at assemblies and when rain kept the children in during recess. It was lost to the sands of time until the internet came along. Hundreds of people were finally vindicated in their memories of this odd little film that none of their friends remembered.

Here's a link to the New York Times article:

Pretty cool blog with tons of obscure titles.
