one year passes...
Caught this on commercial TV last night; my first viewing since I was a kid. Predictably, it doesn't hold up (I'm not sure I even liked it all that much at the time anyhow), but the whole Ghost of Christmas Future bit is a surprisingly great piece of filmmaking: the grim reaper with a TV screen for a face, the Caligari-like art direction, Karen Allen's creepy make-up...I know that the original script was severely neutered, but if this wasn't going to be the outrageous comedy that was originally conceived, there are traces here of what could have at least been a helluva horror film.

My brain was scrambling to answer the exact question the OP posed as soon as I saw the thread revive. Such a great gag.
I wasn't crazy about this movie when it first came out but it has proven to be more a grower than a shower and now I love it and I watch it pretty much every Christmas.

The appearance of the much funnier (and much warmer) National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation a year after this film probably saved me from this inferior product becoming my go-to contempo, semi-adult Christmas pic of choice for many years to follow.
