5.0 out of 5 stars Michael's last great epic video, November 23, 2007

By	Paul G. Cama "libri diligo" (Northglenn, CO USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The first time I saw this film was on MTV one October night in 2001. It was called, "Michael Jackson's Halloween Special", but I knew right away that it was "Ghosts". I had toured Stan Winston studios a few years earlier and saw the make-up designs, of the Mayor character and the super ghoul. This was the truly last time we saw one Michael's epic videos. The dancing is brilliant, the music is superb, and the plot by Stephen King fits Michael's persona like a one handed glove. It also features an up and coming rapper. He was credited under the name Dante, but he's now known as Mos Def. It's a shame this video was never released to a wider audience via DVD.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Valuable Film Forgotten, August 13, 2009

By	PopcornSue (Canada) - See all my reviews

Although it was supposed to be video, it was a DVD copy of the vcd version and quality is not as sharp....BUT this is something every MJ fan should have, and any borderline fan too. Actor, singer, dancer, writer, producer...what a tremendous loss to humanity. This man did it all and did it well. What a shame this didn't get publicized during all the tributes of late of this magnificent artist. It is a masterpiece and shows Michael's diverse talents that most have never seen before. He performs 3 songs through the film like you've never heard them before. If you want to feel good, watch this. It also has the making of the film which is a treat. What a gem both Michael and this work of art are. What a remarkable human being. God Speed to ISS....SueK

1.0 out of 5 stars I got a bootleg copy when it was suppose to be new, July 17, 2009

Amazon Verified Purchase

I bought what I thought was a new copy of Michael Jackson's "Ghosts"
When I received it July 16, 2009 I was so excited. Excited that is until I found out that it will only play in my computer. We tried it in our dvd player, xbox360, and playstation 3. All we got was "No Disc". I know I will never get my money back, I'll just take this as a loss. I buy alot of things from Amazon and I am disappointed and seriously hurt by this matter.
