02: Ghost Stories from The Pickwick Papers (1987)

from Fever Screens Hosted by Fever Screens

It's Diamanda's "screen" this time and we're watching the 1987 Irish animated adaptation of Ghost Stories From The Pickwick Papers, based on selected pieces by Charles Dickens. Along the way we will encounter a closeted ghost, see a "Chad" fight ghost "wojaks" for the hand of Lily Munster, and watch as the most miserable grave digger you've ever met experiences extreme torture and an ironic punishment at the hands of poorly animated goblins. A dude gets turned into a plant! Can you tell that it is a prototype for A Christmas Carol? The film can be watched on YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wk4aSV7XfD8 Fever Screens © 2026
