Heat Miser

Heat Miser

Heat Miser is a character from the Rankin/Bass 1974 children's television special "The Year Without a Santa Claus". A giant, vaguely demonic ogre-like being, Heat Miser is a blustery, quick-tempered hothead who is ultimately harmless. He lives inside of a volcano with his band of imp-like minions who are all identical, miniature versions of himself. Heat Miser controls the hot weather all over Earth. His is his stepbrother, Snow Miser, and their mother is none other than Mother Nature.

Heat Miser was voiced by character actor George S. Irving. Both Heat and Snow Miser sing a memorable ragtime style song introducing themselves.

In the 2006 NBC live-action remake, he is played by actor Harvey Fierstein. His underlings are replaced by women in bikinis, rather than his impish duplicates. They operate his over-sized slingshot to launch fireballs and fire volcanoes to feud with Snow Miser.

Swamp Zombies did a cover of the song on the Doctor Dream White Christmas Album (1991)

Big Bad Voodoo Daddy has done a cover of the song from the TV special, which can be found on their CD Everything You Want For Christmas.
