Hauntings are a very well-known horror phenomenon. From Shirley Jackson’s The Haunting of Hill House and its many adaptations to the countless haunted houses that pop up every October, to haunted house movies like J. A. Bayona’s The Orphanage (2007) and The Conjuring (2013), directed by James Wan, horror audiences are no strangers to ghosts. But a horror story that is often unjustly left off of horror lists, though it features prominently on many Christmas ones, is Charles Dickens’s A Christmas Carol.

After summoning a holiday shark cartoon and wishing to be alone this Christmas, Cody must fight to protect his family from being killed by his own creation.

Shudder’s newest original film, The Advent Calendar, is an impressive French-language feature from writer-director Patrick Ridremont, and features strong cast performances sure to add some chills to your holiday lineup.
