Blast from the past #3 (Ghosts by Michael Jackson)

.
Although I just posted a "Blast from the past" last week I had to post this one right away! I only had seen the complete version once myself and that was on the plane to Fiji in 1998. If you liked Michael Jackson's "Thriller" (Blast from the past #1) than I'm sure that you will like this one also! "Ghosts" is a short feature film by Michael Jackson which could also be classified as a long-form for music video. It was filmed and first screened in 1996 and released along with select prints of the film Stephen King's "Thinner". It was released a year later internationally on VHS. The film tells the story of a scary Maestro with supernatural powers, who is being forced out of a small town by its mayor. The movie includes a series of dance routines performed by Michael Jackson and his "family" of ghouls. Every song from the film was taken from Michael Jackson's "HIStory" and "Blood on the Dance Floor" albums. Michael Jackson who loves Disneyland once said that after he visited Disney's "Haunted Mansion" he was inspired to do a video similar to that ride.

Here's the link to that Fantastic video or should I say film cause it's 39,31 minutes long: Enjoy! PS: Make sure you watch it till the end!!!
