The Mean One: Every Nod and Reference to Dr. Seuss and the Grinch

The Mean One represents another milestone for horror in 2022, as director Steven Lamorte managed to get an unauthorized parody of Dr. Seuss' beloved book How the Grinch Stole Christmas! in theaters.

Now that the movie is finally available, it’s time to break down all the Dr. Seuss easter eggs and references in The Mean One.
