It's the town of Normal Valley. The Mayor (Micahel Jackson) is a fat white guy. He leads a mob to confront the Maestro (Michael Jackson) who lives in his mansion Someplace Else. Maestro entertains the local children in his scary mansion. Maestro asks the mob, "Is this scary?" and performs revealing scary faces.This is a 40 minute music video short. Special effects master Stan Winston directs. This is worthwhile for Jackson fans. For Winston fans, this is a weird side project. It's badly directed but he has some fun with the ghouls. The writing is awful and the story is nothing good. For some reason, the Mayor leads an angry mob and he brings the little kids. The story is very static with the mob mostly standing around gawking at Michael Jackson and his ghouls. The songs are not terribly catchy but the man does do his dancing.

Michael Jackson's Ghosts just further engraves the King Of Pop's unique ability to produce a very entertaining and high quality short film. Although this can hardly be called a short film, as it runs approximately 35 minutes. There is no doubt that a lot of thinking and money went into this, all for a music video that is. I like the fact that Michael helped write the whole script and did a lot of the work, not just the acting. This video lives up to the whole Michael Jackson standard, and would be appreciated by not just fans but anybody of all ages. May not be as organic as the Thriller days but still comes pretty close. Great music video, definitely check it out!

I love Ghosts. As a MJ fan I think it's the best mini-movie he's ever made. Thought it could've been a little bit longer, it was completely awesome. I like his role for the Mayor. I'm mad it wasn't released around my area though. I also like his dances especially when he was singing 2Bad. The whole mini-movie was for Ghosts, Is It Scary, and 2Bad. All in all , out of 10 I'd give it an 8. When this new album comes maybe there will be more lengthy short films like he made "Ghosts". If you watch carefully you can see Mos Def. I don't know if there are any more stars besides Mike in the movie. I really like the mini-movie Michael Jackson's Ghosts.

This is one my my Favorite Michael Jackson videos. Thriller was very good for its time, the main special effects being the makeup and "fog". Now with more advanced computer graphics, I find the dance sequences even more fascinating. I loved the skeleton! Too bad this was not released in North America. I had to set the VCR to record this at 2 A.M. the other night. As for the music, it may not have been his best, but every artist goes through cycles, and I'm sure he will only get better!
