Grinch Horror Movie, The Mean One, Coming This Christmas

 

 

In the upcoming slasher movie The Mean One, Dr. Seuss’ beloved Christmas-hating character The Grinch is going to turn into a serial killer.

 

According to ComicBook.com The upcoming slasher parody, which will retain some of the famous content from Dr. Seuss’ 1957 novel How the Grinch Stole Christmas, has been revealed by XYZ Films.

 

“As a passionate fan of seasonal horror (and the TERRIFIER franchise), The Mean One is exactly the kind of film that lands on my personal ‘nice list,’ XYZ Films’ Manager of Acquisitions and Development Alex Williams said in a statement. “This movie is a stunningly great time with a ferociously subversive turn from David Howard Thornton – and XYZ Films is so proud to be bringing this soon-to-be iconic Christmas slasher to audiences this holiday season.”

 

The Mean One, starring David Howard Thornton, Krystle Martin, Chase Mullins, John Bigham, Erik Baker, Flip Kobler, and Amy Schumacher, is directed by David Howard Thornton and written by Flip and Finn Kobler. The picture is co-produced by A Sleight of Hand Productions, Amy Rose Productions, and Kali Pictures. Schumacher, LaMorte, and Martine Melloul are in charge of the production. Jordan Rosner, Gato Scatena, and Zach Stampone are the executive producers.

 

According to an official synopsis, “The Mean One is a hairy, green-skinned grump in a Santa suit, living on a mountain high above the town of Newville, despising the holiday season. Young Cindy You-Know-Who, whose parents were butchered by The Mean One twenty Christmases earlier, is returning to town to seek closure… but is about to discover that this fiend with a heart two sizes to small is still quite eager to carve the roast beast.”
