One of the most anticipated horror movies of the holiday season has unleashed its trailer; of course, I am referring to The Mean One, the new, darker twist on The Grinch from director Steven LaMorte and writers Finn Kobler and Flip Kobler.
The official synopsis goes like this: “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 (Krystle Martin), whose parents were butchered by The Mean One 20 Christmases earlier, is returning to town to seek closure… but is about to discover that this fiend with a heart two sizes too small is still quite eager to carve the roast beast.”
The Grinch is played by David Howard Thorton, who plays “Art the Clown” in the Terrifier franchise. He is joined by Krystle Martin, Chase Mullins, Rachel Winfree, Amy Schumacher, Allyson Sereboff, and more.
The Mean One is set to arrive just before Christmas, on December 15, 2022.
