Ghost of Christmas was an alias Marty McFly used on December 24, 1845 to convince Ebiffnezer Tannen to change his greedy ways, after being told that Tannen was a real scrooge.

Details[]

Aiding in Marty's disguise was a cloak, and his hoverboard to make it appear that he could fly.

His first attempt was taking Ebiffnezer to a work house with children having to work on Christmas Eve. The only result was Tannen recalling a kid who owed him money.

His second attempt was showing Ebiffnezer a family that was hungry & homeless. The only result was Tannen trying to get the family's dinner of a few chestnuts.

Marty got lucky as his holographic projection of Godzilla rampaging through Japan activated and scared Ebiffnezer into changing his ways.

Behind the scenes[]

The Ghost of Christmas was based off the Three Ghosts from Charles Dickens's story A Christmas Carol. Each Ghost represented Christmas from a different period of time:

  • The Ghost of Christmas Past
  • The Ghost of Christmas Present
  • The Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come/The Ghost of Christmas Future

Marty told Ebiffnezer that he was all of them.
