There’s another “Grinch” film in the works.

XYZ Films is planning a horror take on the beloved Dr. Seuss character.

The flick will be called The Mean One and David Howard Thornton is set to play the lead.

The Mean One will reportedly parody “The Grinch” by tweaking many of the story’s key details.

For example, Young Cindy You-Know-Who is orphaned after the Grinch kills her parents. Twenty Christmases later, she returns to Frazier Park in search of closure.

The Mean One will stream for free in the U.S. beginning December 15th, though the studio has yet to reveal the platform on which it will be available.

What other kids’ story should be a horror movie?
