Halloween Is Grinch Night

Post by bookworm »

I'll be posting about this special in the Halloween movie recommendations topic in a minute, so I thought I'd also make a dedicated thread for this lesser known prequel to How the Grinch Stole Christmas.

Made eleven years after the original holiday classic, this not-so-classic doesn't provide the origin of the Grinch or the Whos, but expands on what their relationship was like before his later change of heart.

It's very strange.





I've known the original Grinch book and movie all my life, but I never knew this was a thing at all until just a couple years ago. Were any of you aware of it?

This was my absolute favorite thing when I was 16. I was obsessed with it. :P

Woah, I did not even know this is a thing. I know the original classic How the Grinch Stole Christmas, but I had no idea there is a prequel in existence. My interest is piqued, so I'll definitely be sure to watch soon!

Is that when you found out about it, or did you grow up with it like I assume everyone did with the Christmas one.
