This Devil's Advocate explores Brian Desmond Hurst's much loved 1951 adaptation of A Christmas Carol, Scrooge, through the prism of horror cinema, arguing that the film has less in common with cosy festive tradition than it does with terror cinema like Bride of Frankenstein, The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, and Faust.
