I at all times thought Jim Carrey because the Grinch in Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas was bizarre and creepy sufficient. But for many who wish to go full horror this Christmas, there’s now The Mean One, a horror parody of Seuss’ Christmas basic.
First introduced to a befuddled however curious public a few months in the past, the movie stars David Howard Thornton, none apart from Art the Clown from Terrifier 2, as “The Mean One.” And who’s the Mean One? Well, right here to clarify is the movie’s trailer, which reveals a survivor of the Mean One’s killer rampage a long time earlier returns to “Newville” intent on getting revenge for her mom’s homicide:
The announcement of this undertaking went viral on social media, in very related vogue to the curiosity across the upcoming Winnie the Pooh horror spoof Blood and Honey. Whether that on-line buzz will translate to field workplace or digital leases stays to be seen, after all. But if these motion pictures do nicely, there’s seemingly no restrict to the beloved childhood classics that couldn’t be spoof. (I’d wish to see one in every of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory; that film’s already mainly a slasher movie for kids anyway.)
Here is The Mean One’s official synopsis:
One Christmas Eve, in a sleepy mountain city, Cindy’s mom is killed and her Christmas stolen by the Mean One, a bloodthirsty inexperienced grouch in a pink Santa swimsuit. 20 years later, Cindy returns to Newville, the place the monster launches one other bloody reign of terror that threatens to destroy Christmas. Now Cindy’s bought a daring new function: trapping and killing The Mean One.
The Mean One is scheduled to open in theaters on December 9.
