A Christmas Carol with Jim Carrey featured a similar scene

With the ghost of Christmas yet to come actually pushing him into the grave?

Kinda. Except the Ghost first shows his face, which is a demonic black skull with terrible burning eyes.

Yeah I really liked how accurate it was to the original story.

What do you mean? "The Spirit, stronger yet, repulsed him."? No.
How the Ghost of Christmas Future repulses Scrooge os that as he castches it's hand, the ghost pulls its hand away.

What I mean by that is how they got the language of the story across so beautifully.
Most adaptations of a Christmas Carol sometimes don't use all of the dialogue from the book or skip some scenes.
For example the scene with the Ghost of Christmas Present and Ignorance and Want. The part usually gets cut.
But not in the Jim Carrey version. I really liked how that scene was done. It was creepy, yet very effective.
