Marvin the Maniac

Marvin the Maniac is a minor character from the Horrid Henry books.
==Appearance==
Marvin the Maniac is not described in the books, but in Horrid Henry Shows Who's Boss, he is depicted as a person appearing to wear a monster-like mascot head.
The head resembles the Wild Things from the 1963 story Where the Wild Things Are.
==Overview==
Marvin is the host of Gross-Out, one of Henry's favourite TV shows.
He first appears on TV in "Horrid Henry and the Comfy Black Chair", where he is heard saying: 'Welcome to Gross-Out! Boy, will you all be feeling sick today! It's GROSS! GROSS! GROSS!'. He later appears in "Horrid Henry Minds His Manners", during which he writes to Henry to invite him to the show, then after they end up on the wrong shows, encourages his contestants to spray Peter with their goo-shooters, but is confused as to why Peter won’t fight back. When the mix-up becomes clear, Henry joins in with the game and leaves Peter with Maggie, who is having a Psycotic breakdown.
He is also mentioned in "Horrid Henry's Underpants," and in "Horrid Henry's School Elections", where Henry promises a 'Gross-Out day' with Marvin presenting the prize.
==Trivia ==
* Marvin made his only appearances in the stories "Horrid Henry and the Comfy Black Chair" and "Horrid Henry Minds His Manners."
