The reason why Grinch doesn’t have magical powers in the original special is because it takes place on Christmas… which is a HORRIBLE night for eyebrows.
It’s also a horrible night for teeth, judging by the Grinch’s creepy grin in the original special.
@@xylaharrison7822 he has termites in his smile
His powers are useless because the Whos have too much Christmas spirit
*"It's a wonderful night for eyebrows."*
I want this on a t-shirt.
Me too
I KNOW! It’s so insane I love it😂
Yeah it just so out there.🤣
It's a wonderful night for teeth
I totally do too
Sad we didn't get more of these Grinch prequels. Would've love to see "How the Grinch stole Easter", "How the Grinch stole Thanksgiving", or "How the Grinch stole Valentine".
Or better yet, "How the Grinch stole Black Friday".
"How the Grinch stole Arbor Day:" The epic crossover between the Grinch and the Lorax.
@@TheEmeraldWeirdo How The Grinch Gave It A Rest During Lent
I portrayed a character in a Thanksgiving themed Grinch play back in middle school so I guess somebody wrote a story about it online that my school used
Comparitively, The Grinch on Black Friday would be a saint.
Or the Grinch stole Columbus Day actually I wouldn’t mind if that is stole
I can't get over "It's a wonderful night for eyebrows". It's just such a random sentence that comes out of nowhere and doesn't have anything to do with the story whatsoever.
To be fair, that kid did do a flip at the bottom of the slide, so I was pretty impressed
I never get tired of that Clint-Howard 'Cancelled' joke.
I may not fully get it but I can’t help but laugh too🤣
You guys gotta try this!
What's the original clip from?
@@someguy3752 um ice cream man I THINK
Me too. I hope he does that Space Rangers show someday
How could this be? There was no Grinch Night to be had!
It came without Ghosts!
It came without Screams!
It came without Monsters, Spooks, and Bad Dreams!
Don’t say that second one in the last part. You’re using a slur.
@@fritzy8318 Don't turn things that aren't slurs into such. Is it offensive to ghost? Zombies, ghouls or vampires, or Frankenstein's monster? Otherwise it is not... if it otherwise I think you’re trying way too hard, that you invented it. In which case, keep it to yourself or forget it. Don't give anyone the idea, let it keep at it's original meaning.

So, just forget it, because you're the only one who thought that, forget it let that definition be lost like Greek fire, and even as that one Greek flexible glass that Ceasars destroyed because for some dumb reason thought it would destroy the value of gold.
But it had a extra helping of Eyebrows.
@@MrXemrox But, it's literally a slur. Although it's technically an outdated one, it's really risen in prominence recently thanks to, of course, bastards on the internet.
@@TheSmart-CasualGamer it should be forgotten as a slur now. The meaning WE all are used is GHOSTS so there 😅
in 2020 I read a new biography of Dr. Seuss that had come out, the author goes into these late 70s specials he made with Friz Frieling after the smash hit that was How the Grinch stole christmas, and apparently Dr. Seuss really enjoyed it because it allowed him to flex his skills as a song writer and to do a darker story he had not done since the days of Private Snafu.
Whoa 😮
@@gracekim25 Until Phelous made this Video I never saw or heard anything about how The Grinch stole Halloween
@@gracekim25 Boris Karloff also played as Imhotep in The 1932 Original Movie of The Mummy The 1999 Version with Brendan Fraiser is A Remake and A really good Remake too I have never seen The 2017 version with Tom Cruise but I have heard that pretty much Everyone hated that Movie when it came out and it was A Box Office Bomb sad to know
@@jackgarrison8497 me too 😂
I don't know about the other ones I haven't seen, but I really wouldn't consider this particular special 'dark', considering all that happens is a bunch of vaguely spooky nothing. Is it darker than the Christmas special? Marginally, I guess.
"It's a wonderful night for eyebrows, it's a wonderful night for teeth" is pretty original and amusing though, I'll say that much, along with the Grinch using his eyebrows as a weapon. It's silly, but in a fun, creative Seuss sort of way. Dark though? Nah.
The Sub- Zero joke came outta nowhere, and I laughed 3x harder that day.
...
"The doctor said I almost died, you idiots!" XD
It will never not be funny 😂
The complete nonsense of this cartoon is exactly why I like it honestly. Plus the animation has such a Halloween feel to it. The colors look so surreal and saturated it looks really cool. I wish the non-story wasn't so boring though lol
There's a weak buildup but the payoff with worth it
A few things (other people have mentioned some of them, but oh well)
1. The Grinch is voiced by Hans Conried. He also voiced Captain Hook and Mr. Darling in Disney’s Peter Pan and King Azaz and the Mathemagician in the ‘70s adaptation of The Phantom Tollbooth.
2. Max’s singing is done by Henry Gibson, Wilber’s voice from the animated Charlotte’s Web.
3. The outhouse is called “The euphemish” in this world. When I was growing up, I just thought it was a Seussian word. Now, it’s like the most in-your-face adult joke there is.
To bring up another point about #1 - the actor also narrated and voiced Horton in Chuck Jones’s adaptation of Horton Hears a Who.
Interesting side fact - much like Hans Conried, Jim Carrey would both perform as the Grinch and voice Horton years later. Felt like it came full circle.
@@thomasleone8313 Too bad he didn't narrate either film.
Yay someone else who knows The Phantom Tollbooth!!! Hans Conried did a great job in his dual role. Did you also know Candy Candido (The Indian chief in Peter Pan and many a Disney ride voice) was the Awful Din? And Mel Blanc was the Dodecahedron!
Hans Conried also voiced Thomas Jefferson ("Ben and Me"), Thorin Oakenshield (Rankin and Bass "The Hobbit"), and Snidely Whiplash. The dude was a legend in voicework.
Hans Conried was also the title role in The 5000 Fingers of Dr T, a far superior Dr. Seuss movie than this one (imo).
Halloween is Grinch Night is one of my favorite holiday specials of all time. It's so needlessly creepy and unsettling, especially considering how loved and lighthearted the Christmas special is comparatively. Nothing like when an icon tries to sell you paraphernalia!
I just watched it this year and they did NOT need to go as hard on the score as they did lmao
The Paraphernalia Wagon sequence is uncanny in its ability to captures the feeling of a fever dream and I’m not saying that in a “haha this is trippy” way but the fact it has its own internal logic that those dreams usually force your brain to mull over. it’s pretty great.
Also, there’s a cameo by The Jibboo from “Oh the Thinks you can Think!” depicted a bit more threatening than its appearance in the book. Knowing Seuss, it wouldn’t surprise me if that was intentional on his part (I’m told the original text did frighten some kids and even got complaints from parents)
To be fair, I thought the Jiboo was pretty terrifying in the book too
That book has a lot of cameos in the movie.
@Tareltonlives
''What would you do if you met a Jibboo?''
For some reason I was obsessed with this cartoon as a kid, but I'm not sure why since NOTHING happens until that freak-out scene at the end, then it's instantly over. I was even more enamored of Witch's Night Out, but that one has some legit magic to it and some of the dialogue and voice acting are freaking brilliant--way, way better than a no-budget Halloween special had any business being.
Prolly because Grinch looks hella cute in this one, at least when he's properly on-model and not wearing a mean expression.
It is like 70% of the Grinch stories, movies, and tv shows
Probably the same reap I was obsessed with "Pooh's Grand Adventure" as a kid, cuz it's trippy as balls.
This special is mostly composed of that haunting 70s echo style narration music which makes the filler hardly seem like filler at all.
@@RettMikhal Dude I am DEFINITELY looking this up!
Genuinely upset that the Grinch isn't an eldritch god-king in any other Grinch media than this.
Of course proper eyebrow care gives you superpowers. I mean have you seen Heihachi Mishima? The dude ate a tomahawk and regularly teaches bears martial arts! Oh and of course that party the Grinch was going to was worth it I mean Wabbu and Goron would have been there!
Heihachi is is so cool :o
I remember the Mishima Eyebrow Joke in Spoony's Tekken Reviews.
That also explains Dr. Wily given his eyebrows. Also, of course Wabuu and Goron would attend that party.
Every year when Halloween comes, I greet it by telling my little sister "it's a wonderful night for eyebrows Max."
5:14 I MEAN, TO BE FAIR, $1.50 in 1977, when this special premiered, is equal to $7.19 nowadays
Inflation sure is a bitch
It's Grinch Night is a mandatory Halloween watch at our house. It's silly, it's downright absurd, makes no damn sense, climaxes in a frightening trip... and we love it lol. There was probably a solid month where us kids kept calling the bathroom "the euphamism."
I just took a big dump in the Euphamism.
I think the eyebrows, the idea of Grinch Night, the magic powers disappearing by December, and the Grinch suddenly having to leave are all connected. Perhaps this is the one night a year the Grinch has all these powers. Either way I personally liked this. Then again, I also like Homer’s rivalry with the Grumple.
The funnier way to interpret this special is that it's actually a sequel instead of a prequel, and the Grinch just went back to hating the Whos after Christmas was over. It would explain the whole "Max leaves the Grinch" part at the end.
😂true
"A Phelous Halloween Grinch video?! I wouldn't miss a Phelous Halloween Grinch video on a night like this for $60 and $.60!"
I can beat that. I wouldn’t miss it for $60.66!
@@dancepiglover Let me wager on that! I wouldn't miss a Phelous Halloween Grinch video on a night like this for ALL THE DIAMONDS!!!
@@Bakusz72 Hmm, I don’t know. I think we should be enemies.
@@dancepiglover Certainly. But, only because you have driven away my father.
@@Bakusz72 where’s my DAMN hairbrush?!😂
“I wouldn’t go out on a night like this…for a dollar and fifty cents”
You know, the fact that the Grinch concentrated all his attention on a young boy and all he did was scare him a bit makes we wonder why the entire town is terrified of him.
You would think a character like the Grinch would be ready made for Halloween🤷🏿♂️
honestly that might be the problem he feels made for halloween while for chrismas he antithesis of it so it actually weirdly worked as a result but because his personality kind of fitting for halloween it really does not give much to work with when it comes to the character he works because of contradiction but for halloween there is not contradiction
I think the only reason they put Halloween in the title was to pass it off as a holiday special.
@@tacaloking4 similar to Jack Skellington
More like how Phelous stole my sadness and replaced it with happiness.
I want to see a Halloween sequel to the 2018 Grinch movie based on this. Grinch loves Classic Halloween where you scare kids and hates the commercialized "kiddie" Halloween, so he uses the Paraphanelia Box as a haunted house attraction.
Too bad Illumination doesn't have the balls to actually scare children.
@@jlev1028 mmm yeah 😅
The Grinch monster scene is really reminiscent of Dr. Seuss's wild collection of surrealism he's painted I've seen in one of his art books.
"I was trying to send my eyebrows at you, but it didn't work."
Must not have been a wonderful night for eyebrows, then.
My assumption is that people fear the Grinch because of his Paraphernalia Wagon. With the monstrous creatures in it, he could unleash them and terrorize Whoville.
As for the ball... well, he did mention that nobody would dance with him at all. So I assumed he would unleash Seuss-hell on the town while he had the ball to himself.
That's my best guess.
Ironic that the Grinch would be defeated by a nerd, and nerd is a word invented by Dr. Seuss.
“It’s a wonderful night for eyebrows!”
Phelan: 😳
Cracked me up!
I've always loved the "you put your glasses back on and face the facts!" thing, and had no idea it came from this. Very glad to know where it's from now!
This and the Cat in the Hat crossover were definitely not as good as the original book and TV special
The crossover has the Grinch's Oath! But then again, that happens in the first ten minutes, so you can switch off the video after that. :D
The Cat in the Hat crossover at least has a plot and a much shorter acid trip sequence. Then again, there's NOTHING as good as the original Chuck Jones special, not even Chuck Jones's follow up Horton Hears a Who. That one REALLY had a lot of padding in it that not even slow burn animation could solve.
GREEN FACE
@@waterh2o299 the Grinch's mom lol
Considering that the conflict is resolved by the Cat in the Hat reminding the Grinch about his dead mom, are we sure Zach Snyder didn't rip it off?
Trivia: a month later, Hans Conreid was Thorin Oakenshield
It helps if you think of Grinch night as a stand-alone story, with no relation to How the Grinch Stole Christmas. That's basically what it is: it's own stand-alone story, much like how all the Ernest movies were stand-alones and didn't follow one another.
Ahh, nothing takes me back to childhood more than that immortal line "it's a great night for eyebrows!!"
Grinch night is the perfect encapsulation of Halloween. You pretend things are spooky for fun, then you drop some acid and party
I always remembered Halloween being a night for eyebrows, the Grinch is on point with this one 👌
Which is why on Halloween, old women use an eyeliner to highlights their eyebrows and hit on youngsters. This is the tradition, boi.
It's why Nixon masks stayed popular for so long.
Dunno why, but this rendition of the Grinch looks to me like a weird green Garfield, lol
Also, if he teams up with Goron, they'd be unbeatable, nobody would be able to resist their eye and eyebrows powers combined!
Why is Phelous the only one talking about the REAL issues in Whoville? Nobody else will stand up for the red Who, or talk about the Illwhominati with the Dingsniffler Industrial Complex under their heel. Big Truffula doesn't want you to know about all the Who Hash they shipped in, and that's why The Grinch HAD to steal all the holidays. He was hopelessly addicted and needed his fix.
Making the grinch green was Chuck Jones (who worked on the animated special) idea. Theodor Geisel (aka dr. Suess) had soured a lot to animated adaptations of his work, but after Jones himself personally drove out to meet him, he decided it was OK, since Jones was the same kind of perfectionist Geisel himself was. But the book was in black and white, and Jones knew it needed to be colored, so he used the color of the rental car he had taken on the drive out to meet Geisel- a sickly green. He also was the one who put some songs into the special to pad it out a little. Despite initial objections with this, upon seeing the finished product and how well it did, Geisel was impressed and was more open to more adaptations of his books
Wow someone is actually acknowledging that Jim Carrey's Grinch was actually good.
Finally.
I have a weird Mandela affect experience with this special. I remember the cat in the hat being in it but apparently that’s another special.
I guess the Grinch's magic powers only work on Halloween.
Makes sense? I think 😅
And the Grinch alarm center guy must've been on vacation during How The Grinch Stole Christmas.
Well, Christmas is a terrible night for eyebrows after all
Halloweenie feels like a fever dream. What a great character.
The Grinch: Professional Eyebrowmancer.
This is why we love Phelous's content. Always classic, but new everytime.
I watched this the other night for the first time and I loved it! Hans Conried was a great choice after Karloff and the music was done by frequent Muppet collaborator Joe Raposo, with lyrics by Dr Seuss himself. Plus they really don't hold back from the weird and bizarre aspects of Halloween, it was a lot of fun.
This special is still better then the 2018 Grinch where that Grinch wasn't even grinchy
I forgot that had even existed, until you reminded me.
He was a mildly annoyed neighbor than the Grinch.
@@bearerofbadnews1375 I mean, isn't the Grinch already an annoyed neighbor?
I'm pretty sure the big threat was what he had in that wagon. Random monsters, spooks and other terrors? He literally had Dr. Seuss's version of Hell inside of that thing. And he was gonna unleash it upon the entire town.
Either way my theory is that this special was actually anti Halloween. A song about staying in doors? (Halloween is about people going out) And as Phealous pointed out, they used the number 6 multiple times in that same song. And the Grinch never acts more like the devil than he does here. Almost as if he his powers are at their peak because of what night it is. Halloween is Grinch Night = Halloween is the Devil's night?
This did come out at a time when many Christians were going about saying how the Halloween is the Devil's night. Thankfully the majority of my brothers and sisters in Christ have thankfully died down on this belief (my parents and myself included).
Orrrrrrr....it could simply be about facing what scares you. One little Who goes out to face the Grinch despite all of the horrors he had at this disposal. That is another common theme in Seuss's works. So often it's the smallest character who makes the biggest difference. Like Jojo in "Horton's Hears a Who" and little Cindy Lou in "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" ...okay she didn't do much in the original but other the years her role was expanded! And here we have our little hero saving the whole town.
That is another thing about Halloween thats been touched upon over the years, confronting what might scare you the most and getting past it!
It's a wonderful night for
*the scourge of Carpathia, the sorrow of Moldavia...*
I’m glad to see someone finally giving the Jim Carrey version some credit
I remember coming across the special on CZcams a few years back and thinking “Wait, the Grinch had a Halloween Special? How come no one ever said anything about it?”
So then I watched it and…yeah, what CAN you say about it; it’s so bizarrely boring.
Also love the new outro music Phelan! Really rocks!
I never knew this existed until now and the fact that you referenced the Jim Carey version is insane, especially since most people did not like that one. Though damn when you do think about it, the Who's are assholes and the Grinch if he had those powers in the Christmas one, the holiday would be his lol. This was very strange but hey nice to know that Grinch tried to steal another holiday back in the day and soild Halloween video!
The Jim Carey Grinch should be appreciated more. I mean it has Clint Howard in it so automatically it's the best version.
I find a lot more people appreciate it now than they did back when it was first released.
@@phelousI'm glad that I'm not the only person who likes the Jim Carey version of The Grinch that Stole Christmas. Oddly though, Mr. Grinch seemed more likeable than the Who's down in Whoville, from the live action film. Movies a guilty pleasure for me. :)
@@phelous it DOES?!😮 that movie is the very reason I know about the grinch 😂
@@Bunny23723 cool, I’m pretty sure I enjoyed it too🤷♀️ kinda have to rewatch it again though
I think the story was suppose to revolve around how every "Grinch Night" the Grinch comes down the mountain to unleash all those ghosts and weird creatures in his cart upon whoville to scare them or drive them insane, this is why Zach took the oppertunity to meet the Grinch and basically sacrifice himself to the Grinch's spirits so that he can either placate the Grinch with a victim to send him away or endure the horrors of his cart long enough so that the Grinch runs out of time and has to go back up the mountain.
If I had to guess at a moral or theme it's to give little kids a story where a kid was able to endure nightmarish horrors because he loved his family enough to gather what courage he had to endure the Grinch's evils, this way kids in the real world might take that and learn to apply it themselves to not be afraid of things that might seem spooky.
sort of like a watered-down version of Egon's speech during the Ghost Busters Halloween special
"you put your glasses back on and face the facts" - the Grinch.
Enduring terror incarnate while simultaneously overcoming ones own discomforts. Only to see that those obstacles were nothing more than surmountable inconveniences we put up with for the sake of friends, family and self betterment.
Yeah, sounds about a moral! =]
Me: *Reads description* Really? How weird are we talkin'?
Grinch: *It's a wonderful night for eyebrows.*
Me: 😐 Oh boy.
13:52 Oh boy, I always wondered what the Dr. Suess version of Hell looked like 👍
Ya'know, I just watched the Jim Carrey Grinch last Christmas and while not a perfect movie it was surprisingly better than I remembered it being. I guess I associated it with all the later crappy Suess movies. You can see it starting a lot of the bad trends that pervade those films, but they're far more tolerable in it and Carrey acting being the focus is a lot more palatable than say Mike Meyer's Cat in the Hat (oh god).
Yeah, I enjoy the 2000 Grinch movie and think they did pretty well expanding the story to a full length film. Cat in the Hat though was absolutely terrible, it was a punishment film for Mike Myers and a punishment film for the audience.
Thread for Actually The Jim Carrey Grinch Was Pretty Okay
Yeah….Um I feel GUILTY for liking the cat in the hat growing up😅 I’m aware NOW that there’s INSANE adult jokes in it😶
The stink from The Cat in the Hat and the Lorax darkened everyone's memory of the Jim Carrey movie.
I really liked the Jim Carrey Grinch movie and never quite understood why it got so much hate.
Gave me There's Something About Mary vibes, which I guess the tone was what threw some people for a loop.
I loved this flick growing up. This, the Great Pumpkin and Garfield Halloween are a good family friendly windup for Halloween night!
I want Who-Hash so bad.
That scene where The Grinch laughs as he heads back home, right after saying "I'll be coming back some day", hella scared me as a kid. That is one sinister laugh, and Joe Raposo's score helps set the tone.
Perfect. Now in the future, whenever I get stuck in an argument, I'll say "It's a wonderful night for eyebrows.". (I wonder how people will react to that)
Ooo I’m SO gonna try that on Monday 😂
Now this is one of my favorite Halloween specials of all time! The Grinch has powers reminiscent of an oni here, from the size-shifting, to the eyebrows turning into crows, to his hatred of wind going out of bounds, to resorting in the mountains; the live action film from 2000 had Whoville take place inside a snowflake, since snowstorms are common within natural disasters(usually caused by yōkai such as yuki-onno, orochi, among others, though oni are in the same category as the supernatural forces in Japanese folklore). The whole paraphernalia wagon is like a superweapon, especially the "Grinch is Gonna Get Ya" song during the acid trip scene. The animals are creative in this special, as usual with anything Dr. Suess. Some of my issues is Max's song number, it's oddly depressing. And to end this off, Halloween is Grinch Night was Theodore Geisel/Dr. Suess's favorite special out of his books adapted to television! That's quite interesting out of this film's trivia.
Found the Weeaboo.
@@MinscFromBaldursGate92 Ha! Posted this a year ago, and you called me a weeb, lol.
So grinch went from Frankensteins monster to captain hook
And then to The Mask and to Dr. Strange.
06:24 yes, he said $6.66 but then the art style changed and the characters looked hyper-realistic... At least that's what Old Man's book said. 😁
All while "You're a Mean One Mr. Grinch" played backwards in a low pitch in the background!
'Well I'll be Grinched'
Apparently even to The Grinch his name is a euphemism...
This is regularly included as a special feature alongside the Christmas special on DVD releases. Apparently, Dr Seuss actually liked this special much more than Christmas. Especially the climax with all its weird imagery, the brief shots of the various eyes looking at the camera most of all.
Sadly, Boris Karloff had died a few years earlier, which is why Hans Conried does the narration and the Grinch's voice. Conried was a very famous actor in the 50s and 60s. Among his roles was Captain Hook in Peter Pan, and Wrongway Feldman on Gilligan's Island (a character based on real-life pilot Douglas Corrigan, who earned the nickname "Wrongway" after going in the opposite direction he said he would).
I think the kid just got hit by a hallucinagenic substance that the Grinch was keeping in his wagon. It is very fast-acting, so much so, that the boy immediately perceives the effect as a monster popping out of the door.
Man, my brother watched this in preschool and came home to tell me there was a “Halloween” version of the Grinch. Not being smart enough to look up information online, I spent a good eight years wondering. When I finally found and viewed it, I spent eight years wondering how my brother was able to gloss things over so quickly. I would’ve filled my pants with who hash.
Hans Conried also played the main villain in the Seuss-written live action film "The 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T."
The "It's a wonderful night for eyebrows" sent me into a laughing fit. Like...What does that mean??
I remember watching this special as a kid and to this day it's still one of my favorites! The wagon part has a lot of dark moments.
It's a wonderful night for a Pheleous video.
Love this special!
It can get a lil' crazy!
AND THAT SONG IS STILL STUCK IN MY HEAD.
I watched this one more than "Stole Christmas." Hans Conried was excellent as the Grinch, and the animation movie paraphernalia wagon was excellent.
I agree
Haha what the hell even was this special? I found myself cracking up multiple times during this one thank you phelan
On a misguided whim, I saw End of Days in the theater. The only thing that kept it from ruining my night was noticing that a little movie called Dogma was also playing. It both washed away the Arnie stank and started a short-lived obsession with Kevin Smith's films.
I forgot this thing exists. I remember now being in elementary school at a Christian school in a church where the "I wouldn't go outside tonight for whatever money amount," would be met with me and this other student yelling "I would!" after that line. We annoyed the crap out of that teacher for our loud desire for money. I think we kept waking her up because she used movie time for catching up on sleep. Weird class. Thanks for bringing it all back to me.
Catching up with some videos I missed. I am always so happy that the Mortal Komedy bits are still being used in your videos. Every single one of them is gold.
The Grinch heart cover makes him look like a hooded cobra about to attack
Gonna start being like 'it's a wonderful night for [insert body part here]' and provide no one any context.
Fun fact: the songs in this were done by Joe Raposo, who wrote literally hundreds of songs for Sesame Street.
This special is good cause it inspired my family to have the head cannon that the Grinch gradually becomes evil again over thr course of each year culminating in Christmas and the 1960s special isn't a rerun, it's just how it goes down each year
It's a wonderful night for eyebrows... and traumatizing who children!
I remember seeing this as kid and it was both creepy but fascinating with all the surreal imagery. Kinda like horror for kids almost haha. Definitely a nostalgia trip seeing you cover this.
Thanks for this video, Phelan.
The funniest thing is that I never actually watched "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" as a kid, but I probably saw this about 3-5 times when it was on TV.
And I still enjoy the trippy visuals. That "Grinch if gonna get you"-part in the end is certainly the best thing about it. Watching this video made me re-watch it. Actually, I think it's pretty good at capturing a certain nightmarish feel.
I feel like Grinch Night makes more sense as a sequel. Like there would be a Grinch alert system because he did previously break into everyone's home. Maybe he's down with Christmas now, but still wants to come out on "Grinch Night" every once in a while.
the grinch needs to lay off the chinese food in order to rid him of those terrible sweet & sour winds
Next time the Grinch takes on his arch nemesis the Cat in the Hat
Who needs SCENE INTERRUPTING BEARS when you have key party interrupting Grinch night?
The answer: Dingo Pictures needs them
clearly the christmas spirit is the grinch's one true weakness
Awesome Vigo painting. I've always loved Ghostbusters 2 and have seen it more than the first.
Another thing about The Who’s
They’re celebrating so damn loud that the grinch can hear them from the tip-top of an entire fucking mountain.
That is 3,000 feet up in the book, and 10,000 feet up in the special and both of the movies
What About the Illumination Reboot?
@@conradojavier7547
As far as I can remember the illumination movie also said 10,000
Which is why I said *both* movies
A new Phelous video? It’s a wonderful day for eyes!
EH
I only know of this because it was included with my old How the Grinch Stole Christmas vhs. One thing I’ll never forget about it is that trippy song number even as a kid I remember thinking “what the hell was that?
I recall this film. First time I heard the word "Paraphernalia". I'll never forget it.
I remember watching his Halloween special when I was a little girl myself. Fun times.
I can see why this Grinch Special is not talked about as much compared to how the Grinch stole Christmas.
They’re so loud the grinch lives on a fucking mountain and he still can’t sleep because they’re so loud
You know... I kinda actually liked it, even though I've never even heard of it before. Probably just nostalgia-by-association to the original.
Also lol @ 11:01
