DeskPop Entertainment is proud to be releasing Steven LaMorte’s outrageous slasher parody, THE MEAN ONE, on VOD on October 3rd. An indie smash that dominated last holiday season, the film racked up massive attention online, through the media, and through its wildly successful theatrical run exclusively at Regal Cinemas.
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 Mean One twenty Christmases earlier, is returning to town to seek closure… but when the Mean One launches a new reign of terror that threatens to destroy Christmas, Cindy finds a bold new purpose – trapping and killing the monster.
In THE MEAN ONE, 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 The Mean One are in for a very big surprise.
Filmmaker Steven LaMorte states, “We are thrilled to be partnering with Mat and the entire team at DeskPop for the worldwide release of The Mean One. Making this movie and seeing the global reaction has been a dream come true. I speak for myself and all of the hard-working artists in front of the camera and behind the scenes when I say the entire Mean One family is so excited to bring our Christmas horror parody to the world with DeskPop!”
Says DeskPop Entertainment Vice President Mat Levy, “With over 20 million trailer views across YouTube and social media, it’s clear that moviegoers are prioritizing letting loose and having fun again and boy does this film make good on its promise to horrify and rip apart your childhood, while simultaneously laughing with you every step of the way. I am thrilled to bring one of the most talked about cinematic experiences of the year to audiences worldwide in time for both Halloween and Christmas. I assure you that your heart will grow three sizes for this film before getting pierced by a delicious candy cane spear.”
