He’s a mean one, but The Grinch is also a Christmas icon. Dr. Seuss’s 1957 book first inspired a 1966 TV special then a movie in 2000 starring Jim Carrey, and most recently, a 2018 animated film in which Benedict Cumberbatch voices the Christmas killjoy. Carrey’s commitment to bringing The Grinch to life remains unprecedented: it took the actor eight and a half hours to get into costume, and in order to make that tolerable, a CIA operative taught him how to overcome torture. The makeup job paid off: the movie became the top grossing film domestically in 2000 and earned makeup artist Kazuhiro Tsuji an Oscar the following year.
The 2018 version landed in the top 10 grossing movies of the year, too, and inspired NBC to put on a live, televised staging of “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” starring Matthew Morrison in 2020. No matter which version of “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” you fell in love with, as December 25th grows closer, the green grump, his best pal Max and the Whos of Whoville will likely grace your screen or your speakers. Read on for a roundup of the best Grinch goodies that you’ll absolutely want to touch with a 39-and-a-half foot pole.
