Very good, but also so very sad !!! No wonder people require anti-depressants daily to live in the current “Downer” age created by most of the “Applauded” minds of the past 3 generations, literally writing scripts biased to impress their fellow “Glitterati” !!! They are like copying a great master in nothing but black and white, then running that copy through an ink jet printer 1000 times repeatedly then stealing the original work and taping the copy in, and selling it to a blind art collector as the original !?!

The Ghost of Christmas Crap

(2 Sterne)

If the original Dickens tale was a parable of hope and optimism, this unfestive, ugly continuation is an ode to cynicism. There is no humanity, entertainment value, or message to be found, and it's unworthy of Vincent Price's talents. I suppose there must be some joyless ogres out there who hated the happy ending of the original "A Christmas Carol." This one's for them.

The Worst!

(1 Sterne)

This is the worst. Take the wonderfully uplifting story of a vile grump turning into the essence of the swellderfullness of Christmas, then woodchipper it into a soul crushing story about family greed causing Scrooge to freeze to death alone in a park in his jammies. What the f dash dash dash!?!?!? Who thought this was a good idea?

It's called realism.

In life, horrible things can happen to good people. If you don't know that, don't listen to this. Dickens knew that. In his novels, beloved children sometimes die before they even reach adulthood.

Vincent Price hosts this story but

the storyline becomes predictable early on. it is still enjoyable however.

Just awful
