So this is off topic, but why (well except maybe Scrooged) haven't there been truly scary versions of "A Christmas Carol?" With the muppets you know what you to expect, and the version with Alistair Sim had a very frightening ghost of Jacob Marley. To me it cries out for a real fever dream treatment, make it as dark as possible. (Well except for the Tiny Tim scenes, obviously).

Check out Jim Carrie's version. It gets dark.

Well being dark doesn't automatically make something a horror story to be fair, does it have horror elements or presentation? Like does it try to frighten or at least unnerve the audience purposefully?
