FX’s upcoming “A Christmas Carol” adaptation will bring zero good tidings for you and your kin this holiday season if the trailer released on Wednesday is any indication.

Described as “a spine-tingling immersion into Scrooge’s dark night of the soul,” the movie adaptation of the Charles Dickens classic stars Guy Pearce as the miserly capitalist who is visited by three ghosts on Christmas Eve.

The film will debut on FX on Dec. 19, with encore broadcasts set for throughout the week leading up to Christmas.
