The Crazy Story Behind Michael Jackson’s Forgotten Thriller Sequel
Michael Jackson revolutionized the music industry with his iconic Thriller short film, changing music videos forever, but did you know he made a follow-up that was created to top it in every way? Beyond that, the story behind his short film Michael Jackson’s Ghosts is crazy.
It delves into the allegations he faced in 1993, his public perception, and how the media depicted him. In it, he plays 5 different characters, it was co-written by the master of horror Stephen King, directed by the special effects legend behind The Terminator, Jurassic Park, and The Thing, and held the Guinness World Record for the longest music video ever for over 10 years. Here is my deep dive into the forgotten short film, Ghosts, and its precursor, Is This Scary, and how they came to be.
