Taking “you’re a mean one, Mr Grinch” to a whole new level this festive season, the beloved Dr Seuss character is set to get the slasher-horror treatment in December.

9-1-1: Lone Stars Krystle Martin plays Cindy, whose parents were butchered by The Mean One 20 Christmases earlier. Now, she’s returning to the town to seek closure but is about to discover that The Mean One is preparing his festive journey into the town below from his mountain home, ready to carry on his bloodshed…

In a role that was made iconic by Jim Carrey, 22 years ago, David Howard Thornton is set to take over in this green-skinned slasher. Best known for his role as Art the Clown in The Terrifier (2016), Thornton is set to take the main stage of Whoville and slice and dice more than just the roast beast in this parody film. Directed by Steven LaMorte and written by Flip and Finn Kobler, The Mean One is set to stream for free in the US on December 15 whilst the UK still awaits a release date. The murderous twist on this classic children’s tale follows on from other films such as Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey, which also takes family favourites and turns them into blood-lusting monsters.

Taking great pains to not use the language of the original tale, this unauthorised version seems like it’s going to be campy with a really hefty amount of gore. So when you’ve finished your Halloween horror bingeing, settle down with your Christmas decorations and a nice mug of hot chocolate to see your childhood get absolutely massacred.
