What is that sound that plays every time we are shown the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come? To me it sounds like a cross between a scream and the wind blowing through a forest.
Did the writers/director ever talk about this, and why they included it?
I love that sound effect, it's soo creepy and effective.

Oh I do too; it's what really made the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come my favorite scene in the movie. But I want to know what the sound is, and why the director used it. To my knowledge, nothing like this has been done with any other person playing the Ghost of Christmas Future in the other versions.
shareThis is a good question. Currently working/dabbling in audio production, to me it sounds like an instrument, perhaps a violin that is then altered, either by pitch or time-stretching it. I could very well be wrong.
shareWhatever it is, it really works for the atmosphere surrounding the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come. It's what makes this my favorite film portrayal of this character.

It's an annoying noise, certainly much worse when played through a home theater. Someone suggested the blu ray version has this effect intentionally muted a bit, and it's true. I just finished watching this version and that noise is far less grating and, as a result, becomes more effective at the same time. I'll bet a lot of people complained about this over the years, hence the re-do on the blu ray version.

It is bad to drink Jobu's rum. Very bad.share
To me, it sounds like a gate opening on rusty hinges or fingernails being raked across a blackboard.
