Those Christmas creatures are back. No, not Santa and his elves, but the Grinch and Scrooge. Nestling themselves into the tape sales top 10 are How the Grinch Stole Christmas and the newly released The Muppet Christmas Carol, which also came in at No. 10 on the laserdisc sales chart. Meanwhile, among rentals, the romantic blockbuster Sleepless in Seattle (which has so far pulled in $125 million in theaters) and the action-packed Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story ($34 million) are heating up living rooms as the weather outside gets frightful. The two videos debut at No. 7 and No. 9 respectively.
