I’m sorry, to have experienced THIS? Slow dancing to LTD singing LOVE BALLAD? How euphoric. Damn.
Talk about losing receipts. I can’t believe we don’t practice experiences like this as something common anymore.
Michael Jackson made a 39-minute horror film with Stephen King in the 1990s, and somehow an entire generation barely remembers it existed.
It was called Ghosts.
What started as an idea years earlier eventually became one of the most ambitious projects Michael Jackson ever put on film. Stephen King helped develop the story, and Stan Winston, the legendary special-effects artist behind some of Hollywood's most famous movie creatures, directed it.
Jackson didn't just play the mysterious Maestro. He transformed himself through extensive makeup and effects to play five different roles, including the grotesque Mayor who leads a group of townspeople to the Maestro's mansion demanding that he leave.
“2 Bad,” “Ghosts” and “Is It Scary” become part of an enormous supernatural dance production filled with practical effects, makeup and choreography.
At more than 38 minutes, Ghosts even held the record for the longest music video for years, and in 1997 it received a special screening at the Cannes Film Festival.
Everybody remembers Thriller.
But how many of you remember Michael Jackson's Ghosts?
And how many are seeing this for the first time?
