The grisly parody of a Christmas favorite is celebrating a little early at home this year.
Having played theaters during the last Yuletide, THE MEAN ONE comes to VOD, Blu-ray and DVD next Tuesday, October 3. The bloody take on HOW THE GRINCH STOLE CHRISTMAS! was directed by Steven LaMorte from a script by Flip and Finn Kobler, and stars the TERRIFIER films’ David Howard Thornton in the title role, along with Krystle Martin, Chase Mullins, John Bigham, Erik Baker, Flip Kobler, and Amy Schumacher. The 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 [Martin], whose parents were butchered by The Mean One 20 Christmases earlier, is returning to town to seek closure…but when the Mean One launches a new reign of terror that threatens to destroy Christmas, Cindy finds a bold new purpose–trapping and killing the monster.”
