No one’s childhood faves are safe and the greenest meanest Christmas baddy of them all is getting the horror slasher treatment in THE MEAN ONE. Check out the trailer via IGN below and let us know what you think!

Atlas Film Distribution will release Steven LaMorte’s outrageous slasher parody, THE MEAN ONE, in U.S. cinemas on December 9th. A recent announcement of the film instantly turned it into a viral sensation, with mentions of the movie appearing everywhere from The Drew Barrymore Show to Fox News.

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 town of Newville, despising the holiday season. Young Cindy You-Know-Who (Krystle Martin), whose parents were butchered by the grumpawumpus twenty Christmases earlier, is returning to town to seek closure… but when this grumpalumpacus launches a new reign of terror that threatens to destroy Christmas, Cindy finds a bold new purpose – trapping and killing the monster.

In this latest film, David Howard Thornton (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 who the Green one is are in for a very big surprise.

Directed by LaMorte with a script by Flip and Finn Kobler, THE MEAN ONE stars David Howard Thornton (Terrifier, Terrifier 2), Krystle Martin (They Live in the Grey), Chase Mullins (Journey to Hell), John Bigham (The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari), Erik Baker (If The Trees Could Talk), Flip Kobler (Easy to Scare), and Amy Schumacher (Balance of the Force).

A co-production between A Sleight of Hand Productions, Amy Rose Productions, and Kali Pictures, the feature is Produced by Schumacher, LaMorte, and Martine Melloul. Executive Producers are Jordan Rosner, Gato Scatena, and Zach Stampone.
