If you liked “Thriller”, you’ll love this modern version. A short film (or a long music video) with dance, music and awesome special effects.
In this movie, Michael Jackson exorcises all his demons and makes his fantasies come true by becoming an all-powerful creature who will teach a lesson to all those who call him a weirdo in real life. Unfortunately for him, in real life he was but a normal person and we all know by now that the winner of this story was not him.
PLOT:
The Maestro (Jackson) lives alone in a creepy-looking mansion on top of a hill, overlooking the town of "Normal Valley". Occasionally, he entertains the local children with scary magic tricks. One of the children tells his mother, who alerts the town Mayor; he in turn organizes the townspeople to go to the Maestro's mansion and force him out of town. Some of them show reluctance to do so, but are pressured into joining the Mayor on his crusade.
- Why don't we just leave him alone?
- He hasn't hurt anybody, can't we just go?
- It's your fault Jerry, you just couldn't keep your mouth shut.
- He did the right thing.
- He's a weirdo. There's no place in this town for weirdoes.
- You see that, that, that ain't a good sign.
- Just like last time! It's the ghost!
- Shut up!
- Don't hit your brother!
- There's no such thing as ghosts, honey.
- Gonna prove it to you, kid. Let's go.
- Did anyone call and make sure this is a good time? Maybe we should come back later.
- Yeah, like when it's light out, you know, like daytime.
- Oh, damn!
- Did I scare you?
- Oh yeah!
- That's him, mum!
- I see.
- That's the guy...
- Hi!
- I'm sorry.
- No, you didn't scare me. Maybe you scared them but you didn't scare me.
- That's too bad, isn't it? I guess I have to try harder next time.
- There won't be a next time.
- Oh really?
- Oh really!
- No next time, huh? Why is that?
- We want you out of town. We have a nice normal town, normal people, normal kids. We don't need freaks like you telling them ghost stories.
- So you don't believe in ghosts?
- I do!
- Me too!
- Hush up! You se what you've done! Aren't you ashamed? Young people are impressionable.
- Show'em the neat stuff you did for us!
- Shut up! That's supposed to be a secret!
- Don't hit your brother!
- You're weird, you're strange and I don't like you. You're scaring these kids, living up here all alone.
- I'm not alone. And you're right, I do like scaring people, yes, but it's just for fun. Don't you kids enjoy when I do my little, you know...
- Well, the fun's over. Back to the circus, you freak. And do yourself a favour, okay, don't force us to get rough with you, because we will if we have to...
- I don't wanna hurt nobody.
- You're trying to scare me, aren't you? I tell you what, we'll play a game. Anybody here like games? Hello! Game time!
- Yes!
- The first person who get scared has to leave. How about that?
- I'll go please...
- I don't play games with freaks.
- There's no need to be rude.
- Yes, I agree, there's no need to be rude. You have a very lovely home but I'm afraid we overstayed your welcome, wo we're gonna go, okay? Can we go?
- Are you gonna leave or am I gonna have to hurt you?
- We're not gonna hurt him...
- I don't hurt nobody.
- You are trying to scare me! I guess I have no choice. I guess I have to scare you. Watch this... Tell me, do you think this is scary?
- That's it!
- Huh?
- That's ridiculous! That's not funny.
- Okay, fine. What about this one?
- Is that it?
- That scared you?
- Did you hear what I said, freaky boy? It's time for you to go...
- Is this scary?
- Are we going somewhere? Hello! It's too late! You're my guests. And by the way, did I tell you I wasn't alone?... Meet the family!
*'2BAD' dance routine*
Told me that you're doin' wrong
Word out shockin' all alone
Cryin' wolf ain't like a man
Throwin' rocks to hide your hands
You ain't done enough for me
You ain't done enough for me
You are disgustin' me, yeah yeah
You're aiming just for me
You are disgustin' me
Just want your cut from me
But too bad, too bad
Look who just walked in the place
Dead and stuffy in the face
Look who's standing if you please
Though you tried to bring me to my knees
Too bad too bad about it
Why don't you scream and shout it
Too bad too bad about it
Why don't you just scream and shout it
Too bad too bad about it
Why don't you scream and shout it
Too bad too bad about it
Why don't you just scream and shout it
Hell all up in Hollywood
Sayin' that you got it good
Creepin' from a dusty hole
Tales of what somebody told
Too bad too bad about it
Why don't you scream and shout it
Too bad too bad about it
Why don't you just scream and shout it
Too bad too bad about it
Why don't you scream and shout it
Too bad too bad about it
Why don't you just scream and shout it
Too bad too bad about it
Why don't you scream and shout it
Too bad too bad about it
Why don't you just scream and shout it
Too bad too bad about it
Why don't you scream and shout it
Too bad too bad about it
Why don't you just scream and shout it
*'IS IS SCARY?' dance routine*
Is that scary for you baby
Am I scary to you
Am I scary for you baby
Am I scary for you
So tell me, am I scary for you baby
Am I scary for you baby
Is it scary for you baby
Am I scary for you
++++
++++
I don't wanna talk about it
++++
Am I scary for you baby
Is this scary for you
I'm tired of being abused
You know you're scaring me too
I see the evil is you
Is it scary for you baby
- Are you scared yet?
*'GHOSTS' dance routine*
There's a ghost out in the hall
There's a ghoul upon the bed
There's something in the walls
There's blood upon the stairs
And it's floating through the room
And there's nothing I can see
And I know it's blessed this tune
Because now it's haunting me
Don't understand it
Don't understand it
There's a ghastly smell around
But nobody to be found
And a coffin inlay open
Where a restly soul is pokin'
Don't understand it
Don't understand it
And who gave you the right to scare my family?
And who gave you the right to scare my baby? She needs me!
And who gave you the right to shake my family tree?
They put a knife in my back
Shot an arrow in me
Tell me, are you the ghost of jealousy?
- Stop!
- Who's scary now? Who's the freak now? Freaky boy! Freak circus! Freak! Who's scary! Who's weird now?
- SO, you still want me to go?
- Yes, yes!
- Fine, I'll go...
- Good riddance! Let's go. Let's go! Let's go! I showed that freak.
- Hello!
- Did I scare you?
- Yeah!
(general babbling)
- For a minute, I thought I was going to lose it.
- But did we have a good time here? Hello?
- Yeah!
(general babbling)
- What? What? Ah!
- Did I scare you?
- No! Well, maybe... How about that? Maybe...
- Yes!
- Excuse me, excuse me. Yeah, huh... Is this scary?
