A Christmas Carol Ghosts Most Famous Versions

[@0megaFan]

I always love Future, or Yet to Come whatever it's called, because it's normally just a silent black cloak and yet it's absolutely terrifying a lot of the time.

[@MrsP474]

Yeah because it's Death itself, the grim reaper.

[@ql596]

Yet to come:I’m lucky that I’m the scary one

[@paprika059]

Ahhh yes all except for Barbie: A Christmas Carol

[@maurycyoseka1057]

I love it too. I am always imagining that when Scrooge is about to fall into his grave, it will take of it's hood to reveal a ugly, scary, nightmarish face, just like Pete did.

[@chelsair9426]

My favourite has always been Present, he can be kind-hearted and jolly but also pretty cruel when he needs to be

[@tyrstocry3493]

I love each directors take on The ghost of Christmas yet to come. Different and artistic each time 😂

[@alanmorris4896]

2009 was the death itself

[@ezrastardust3124]

The scariest one for me was actually the Ghost of Christmas Past, I had so many nightmares about that weird shape shifting thing hovering over me *shivers*

[@Eclipcore]

And his voice

[@jonathanpowell613]

I really like the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come (1984) because he's presented as a large, faceless wraith that makes a metallic screeching noise every time Scrooge asks him something.

[@OddOneOut665]

I love that all the Ghosts were in the recent DuckTales reboot, and had such great personalities too!

[@eview0605]

I love the ghost of Christmas present he is by far my favourite as he’s so happy and merry and if you read the books he says he has 1800 brothers and the book was written in 1843 (around then) so it’s the Christmas present for that year and I find it really clever how dickens slipped that in but it’s sad because when Christmas is over that ghost dies and a new one is born for next year

[@Eclipcore]

To be honest when i was a kid the 2009 one by Jim Carrey scared me especially when Ghost Of Christmas Present dies and the Ghost of Christmas Future comes and the Ghost Of Christmas Past's voice kind a give me chills. But now that i got older i starting to love them all. And all of them are my favorites🕯️🎄💀

[@h193013]

Well the Ghost of Christmas Past looks different every time

[@99lodewijk]

That's because it's description is the hardest to translate to film. I think the Disney version did it best as it supposedly looks like a candle. The other two ghost have always been described as rather human-like.

[@sirorliktheironclad]

Agree. The Ghost of Christmas Present is always like Santa and the Ghost of Christmas Future is always like the Grim Reaper. The Ghost of Christmas Past is depict in many ways as a taking candle, a Christmas Angel, Fairy, or a little kid. In some adaptations the ghost is depicted as being female, male, genderless, young, old, or ageless.

[@purgeblue]

Its ingenius that the disney version in the 1900s had Jimeny Chricet to be the Past Ghost

[@sirorliktheironclad]

@@purgeblue Agree.

[@caroldefender4144]

​@@99lodewijk Every version of Marley looks different too, but he's always got the important chains as well as the head wrap (since apparently that's what they would put on dead people back then).

[@swiperfox3145]

1:22 Rubeus Hagrid, Keeper of Keys and Grounds at Hogwarts

[@Puppetgirl93]

Lol he does look like Hagrid,

[@cinderellaII]

Swiper Fox and the last one is a dementer

[@MajorLinkGaming]

The Muppet Christmas Present is more adorable.

[@RossKroft96]

The Ghost of Christmas Past from the 2001 animated version will always be the most iconic to me

[@transformersguy2002]

The Muppet christmas carol past creeps me out

[@danniblade9423]

The best A Christmas Carol is (1999) TNT version. It floors the script exactly word for word and the ghosts are magnificent. Especially the present

[@jrax1713]

Honestly I think 2009‘s a Christmas Carol got them all the best

[@alanmorris4896]

Exactly ♥️

[@jennatomashosky8624]

It is closest to the book.

[@connorkidwell4750]

The 2009 yet to come when he saw the stone looked like the scene from skylanders swap force

[@trinitymplayers]

They should also have included the Mr. Magoo and 1971 half hour animated versions as well

[@crazyroberttt8872]

I love all these movies

[@DMH62291]

I know it's not that well known but the 1970 Scrooge musical should be on here too lol

[@SonofTiamat]

That's the only version I watch

[@DMH62291]

@@SonofTiamat that and the muppet version are my favorites.

[@sirorliktheironclad]

My favorite depictions are the Disney one, Muppet one, and and the Mickey Mouse one. My favorite Ghost of Christmas Past is the Muppet one, my favorite Ghost of Christmas Present is the Muppet and Disney one with Jim Carrey, and my favorite Ghost of Christmas Future is the Disney one with Jim Carrey. The Ghost of Christmas Past is the hardest one to adapt because in the book the ghost is described as ageless and genderless. Sometimes the ghost is depicted as boy or girl and is like an angel or a talking candle or is a little girl or an old man. The Ghost of Christmas Present is always Santa Claus like and is based on Father Christmas and the Ghost of Christmas Future is always depicted as the grim reaper.

[@caroldefender4144]

What about Jacob Marley? I'd say my favorite one of these is 1984's. I like his long, shaggy hair.

[@sirorliktheironclad]

@@caroldefender4144 I like Marley from the Muppets and Disney. Just my opinion.

[@rfletch62]

"All versions", in 1:58? I should watch this. At 1:59, "Well, they did skip a few".

[@JoshuaOrro-MustangPrinceOR-YTB]

I got to be Marley along with Present and Yet To Come in stage versions of the story

[@JavertRA]

Missing the weird Jawa one from the Patrick Stewart version 😆

[@patrickdrazen8411]

I still think the best version was the Richard Williams animated version from 1971 (IIRC) in which the Ghost pf Christmas Past was constantly morphing from child to woman to having multiple heads...

[@robinswenson9045]

You missed Albert Finney's Scrooge 1970

[@sammywestenberger9303]

[@zurvanmooney4940]

Mr Magoo, anyone?

[@IAyala999]

You forget the Patrick Stewart Christmas Carol

[@garveyneal1672]

What about famous versions of Ebenezer Scrooge, Bob Crachit, Fred Scrooge, Fezziwig, and Tiny Tim?

[@denisgauthier9191]

what about the Patrick Stewart version?

[@caroldefender4144]

In order: Alistair Sim (1951) Mickey (1983) George C. Scott (1984) Scrooged (1988) Muppet (1992) Jim Carrey (2009)

[@joshlane4788]

What about the one from 1999 with Patrick Stewart

[@caroldefender4144]

Jiminy Cricket as the Ghost of Christmas Past? Interesting choice.

[@abeverly85]

You omitted the 1999 television film version of Jacob Marley's ghost and the three spirits (Past, Present, and Yet to Come/Future).

[@macmedia1000]

I am only doing the well known ones.

[@ZukoHalliwell]

Macs Media The 1999 version *is* a well known one.

[@beowulfiow]

just thought i'd say that you are missing about 90% of the many adaptations out there >.

[@RaptorSilver]

Not all of them are adaptations, as there are many that are in fact parodies :/

[@ZukoHalliwell]

Agreed!

[@kannonwhitaker216]

I subscribe

[@realidaddarkpainter3.046]

Y dónde está la versión de looney tunes?

[@aaronstevenson4136]

Why didn't the muppet Christmas carol mention ignorance and want

[@caroldefender4144]

I think it's most likely for sake of length. Still, I do think they're pretty vital to the story as Dickens wrote it.

[@elmagnifico5666]

Forgot the 1999 version

[@maurycyoseka1057]

I was at the theater were all the spirits were played by females.
