The Mean One
In the audacious new parody, The Mean One (David Howard Thornton) is a hairy, green-skinned grump in a Santa suit, living on a mountain high above the festive small town of Newville, despising the holiday season. Young Cindy You-Know-Who (Krystle Martin), 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.
In THE MEAN ONE, David Howard Thornton - to be seen in theaters as TERRIFIER 2's Art the Clown - further cements his presence in horror history with this newly-iconic slasher villain. Holiday aficionados who think they know The Mean One are in for a very big surprise.

Don't be a Grinch! Watch the trailer for parody-horror film The Mean One
2022 is shaping up to be a banner year for films which reframe holiday season icons in interesting, and often gorily mayhemic, ways. Violent Night (out Dec. 2) stars David Harbour as a baddie-slaying Santa Claus, while Christmas Bloody Christmas (out Dec. 9) features a murderous robot Father Christmas. And then there's the parody-horror film The Mean One (whose trailer you can see above), which finds Terrifer 2 villain David Howard Thornton playing a character with a, let us say, Grinch-y vibe.
