Let The Spirits Guide You!
It’s an arctic Christmas Eve and mean-spirited miser Ebenezer Scrooge has an unexpected visit from the spirit of his former business partner Jacob Marley. Bound in heavy chains as punishment for a lifetime of greed, the unearthly figure explains it isn’t too late for Scrooge to change his miserly ways to escape the same tormented fate, but first he’ll have to face and survive three more eerie encounters, before his destiny is finally sealed…
Filled with Dickensian, spine-tingling special effects, prepare to be both frightened and delighted in equal measure as you enter the supernatural Victorian world of Mark Gatiss’ wonderful adaptation.
