The movie was the first of two consecutive ghost comedies that Bill Murray made over the course of two years. He starred in [Ghostbusters II](/category/10889/Ghostbusters-ii) (1989) the year after this one. Wikipedia states, "the film was marketed with references to Ghostbusters (1984), which had been a great success four years earlier." In the U.S., the tagline was, "Bill Murray is back among the ghosts, only this time, it's three against one".

In this modern take on Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol," Frank Cross (Bill Murray) is a wildly successful television executive whose cold ambition and curmudgeonly nature has driven away the love of his life, Claire Phillips (Karen Allen). But after firing a staff member, Eliot Loudermilk (Bobcat Goldthwait), on Christmas Eve, Frank is visited by a series of ghosts who give him a chance to re-evaluate his actions and right the wrongs of his past.
