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).

It would be interesting to see a take on the story that went for horror as the genre.

I keep hoping someone will go full scale horror show with it - atmospherically speaking. It's really quite a frightening story in many ways.
