Why a Christmas Carol is actually a horror story (and Disney doesn't want you to know)

The true story behind Charles Dickens's A Christmas Carol. Why does this 1843 classic remain the definitive CHRISTMAS SPECIAL?

From Ebenezer Scrooge to Scrooge McDuck, understand how Disney and Hollywood recycled the perfect script template and softened Dickens's ACID SOCIAL CRITIQUE against Victorian capitalism. The original book was a ghost story saying: if you continue pretending the poor are invisible, the ghost that will haunt you is your own conscience.

What is the difference between the original version (featuring workhouses and Ignorance and Want) and the cute, Disneyfied adaptations? Fear of dying alone, inequality, and redemption: why do we still need these ghosts 183 years later?
