The Muppet Christmas Carol


Okay, it may seem strange that we’re including this particular movie on a list of fucked up Christmas films. It is after all a classic. Who could resist the genuine comedy of the lovable Muppets juxtaposed with a genuinely excellent performance from screen legend Michael Caine? Add to this the thousands of little jokes (Fozziwig’s rubber chicken factory gets us every time) and the irritatingly catchy menagerie of songs. After Home Alone it could well be the best Christmas movie of all time. But if there were ever a better reason to dub a film ‘disturbing’ it’s the genuine terror that struck our little hearts when Scrooge meets the ghost of Christmas yet-to-come. Surely this bastard shouldn’t have been allowed in a film which was clearly labeled as suitable – nay, aimed at – children? It definitely wins the award for most terrifying Muppet ever, and still sends a chill down our spines when we recall his horrifying, shadowy hooded ass.
