Why Does the Grinch Horror Movie Exist?

How The Grinch Stole Christmas gets a horror movie adaptation in THE MEAN ONE. It turns the Grinch from childhood character to a ruthless murderer who will do whatever it takes to cause chaos around the town. How is this definitely not-kid friendly Dr. Seuss movie allowed to exist?

The Grinch horror movie comes right after news of Winnie The Pooh: Blood and Honey, along with Bambi: The Reckoning, which both turn classic characters into something we've never seen them as before. While Winnie The Pooh and Bambi are both in the public domain, How The Grinch Stole Christmas has a slightly different situation, allowing The Mean One to exist without Universal stepping in.

I guess we're just gonna get this with every childhood character now, huh? 😔

[davanime]

Let's be honest, The Grinch just fits the tone of Horror, because of the grinch's personality, attitude, and his entire character

[megameme]

If I'm being honest, compared to Winnie and Bambi, the grinch honestly would fit to be horror.

[theparrishshow]

If I’m being honest the trailer made it seem more like a dark comedy than an actual horror film

[krististarosta]

I knew The Grinch has a serious attitude during the Christmas season, but I didn’t want it to be THIS bad.😰

[ArtistSince]

You know it’s very serious when Vailskibum gives a kindred explanation on why horror movie parodies of childhood classics are becoming a problem despite gaining popularity over this year.

[VanHellbright]

This movie just feels like if the Grinch was a real person who genuinely hated Christmas.

[CalingsteRaynolds]

The part where the Grinch says "It’s Grinch’in time!" before he Grinched all over the Whos down in Whoville made me cry for hours.

Truly the Christmas special of all time.

[mightguy]

I watched the Grinch and literally thought to myself "imagine a Grinch horror movie" and DEADASS the next day a trailer for this came out 💀 I was hyped asf till I saw the trailer lmfao movie looks weird asl

[michellejackson]

First it was Winnie, then it was Bambi, and now, the GRINCH?! WHAT THE HECK IS HAPPENING TO OUR CHILDHOOD FAVES?!?!

[Vannyspletzer]

I feel like every character we love turns into a horror movie, that's unexpected👁👄👁

[dinoboy]

I actually think it fits the grinch. My mum litteraly said “and? He looks like he’s about to kill someone ingeneral.”

[ZeepAtomic]

Won't be long until there's a Cat in the Hat horror movie.
I'm sure as hell that'd be real interesting.

[shacharlem]

Now I'm sure there will be a Lyle Lyle crocodile horror movie. I even thought of an infinity train horror film where tulip Olsen becomes a serial killer who targets divorced/broke up/dysfunctional couples.

[richie]

The Banana Splits, Winnie The Pooh, The Grinch, Peter Pan and Bambi. That is a lot of childhood characters turned into Horror Movies. Imagine a Thomas The Train Horror Movie.

[brockbracken]

“Hollywood, could you not turn our childhoods into horror movies?

*FOR FIVE MINUTES?!”*

[JordantheDWandNBCfan]

Dr. Seuss: Did they just? *THAT'S MY

[BardTheDragonProductions]

Why is everything becoming a horror movie?

[devofficialchannel]

In my opinion, The Grinch fits as a horror movie villain. Like if he were a real person who genuinely hated Christmas, he won't just steal food and presents only. He'll outright murder the Whos just because they're "annoying" and would pretty much he willing to kill a child like Cindy Lou.

[dcbandit]

If any character feels fit as a horror movie antagonist, the Grinch is probably the only Dr. Seuss character who could.
