[moonwalkbhoy]

[Screamin]

Ghosts ! I love Ghosts so much and i cant wait until i see the ghosts/Thriller medley from the rehearsals

[moonwalkbhoy]

does any1 know if u can get ghosts in hi def?

[TehNilz]

Ghosts

Thriller was before my time.

[Amber Dawn]

I love them both, But I really LOVE "Ghosts" its so much fun!
That video doesn't get the credit it deserves =)

[Spider-Man]

Thriller is a classic but Ghosts is hands down waaaay better. His acting, the storyline, the dancing, its off the hook in Ghosts. And the special effects are sweet.

Let me put it this way, I once showed Ghosts to a 7 year old MJ hater (she thought he was a freak) and by the end of the vid she was crying 'cuz Mike had smashed himself into dust. Then she turned and asked "but why are people so mean to him? He was just being nice. Why do they say all those lies?" Then all she wanted to do was watch more MJ vids! Not only did she see his brilliance as a performer but she gained sympathy for him as a person.

Let me see Thriller do that!

[moonwalkbhoy]

the problem with haters is they dont know what mike was like. ghosts is amazing. it really doesnt get the credit it deserves.

[MoonGlider]

I guess I am in the minority, but I voted Thriller. I like Ghosts a lot, but the story in Thriller is pulled together more tightly and cleanly, and I think the surprise ending is better in Thriller. The acting of the townspeople in Ghosts is a little too over the top, and I prefer the choreography in Thriller.

[GinnyJackson]

Honestly i can not choose between them.

Thriller is a fantastic short film. It has a great storyline. fair acting. wonderful dance number.

Ghost on the other hand has a fantastic storyline. Eccentric living alone townspeople with a deranged mayor try to run the dude out of town. Gets the ish scared out of him and was put in his place, not to mention Michael acted off of himself. the dance number i have no words to describe accurately how much i loved it.

So there is no way i can pick which of them was the best.

Always loved the Ghosts short film!! I remember in 1997 when I was 11 years old and lucky enough to get my hands on the official Ghosts/BOTDF box set!! I still have it, included were the Ghosts full length VHS, the BOTDF album, the On The Line CD single and a Ghosts official booklet thingy! lol...here's some pics I took a while ago...

[dancemasterman]

thriller for me. ghosts has better songs, but thriller has a better story. I never really liked the story for Ghosts. they should have made him a ghost hunter like a modern day ghostbuster, only the ghosts were in on it with him. they haunt the place and MJ shows up to bust them.

I have it too, even though I can't watch the tape cause it's in PAL format, lol

I love both Thriller and Ghosts, but I'm with others who say that Ghosts hasn't gotten the credit it deserves. It needs to be released here in the US for one thing. I think I'd have to vote for Ghosts, but Thriller is amazing, and I grew up watching it.

The box set. Ah, bitter memory. lol

I went to a video shop to find History short films. But they were not available. The salesgirl recommended me Ghosts Box Set but I said no, thank you as I didn't know what it was at the time.

Few weeks later I rushed to the same shop to buy it. Unfortunately the one and only box set has been sold.

I pulled my hairs due to frustration. lol

[IMWhizzle]

I voted for GHOSTS too.. Because that short film was electrifying!

Ah, yes, I was lucky enough to get that. Although my house was robbed and the CDs that came with it were stolen. I was so upset. If I'd kept the CDs in the box instead of putting them on my rack with all my other CDs, I'd still have them.

I voted for Ghosts, by the way. It's just incredible.

[lilsusie]

Ghost is better but very underrated. Shame Thriller kindof overshadow most of his other works.

[*Lisa*]

Thriller!!

[Mizz Mina]

I loved ghosts but voted for thriller because it was his first independent vid all Michael. Now ghosts really drove me wild because he look so damn perfect and sexy in that video

[Motsey]

Ghost all the way it was amazhing and the dance moves were soo wow lol - hardly anyone has watched it and i guess the slow buildup could put some people off but not me

thriller was amazing tho and started everything off in video world and was way ahead of everything at the time(still alot better them most of the videos these days)

[MJJsAngel]

I love both songs and films but I'm going to have to go with Thriller

[Mjkop4ever]

Voted Thriller!

[MJ*PP]

Ghostsss! I'll be honest, im scared of Ghosts more than Thriller :unsure:

[anotherpartofme]

Thriller - it's just classic

i love both, but i just have to go with thriller :P

[mj_for_ever]

GHOSTS!!!
I love the start. I really enjoy how he's psychologically flirting with the fatter, conservative, right wing version of himself and the dancing and creeping rhythyms are just insane. I love that clip so much.
I remember i got so scared of that when i watched it when i was 7. I ran out of the room crying. I only ever finished watching it completely last week!

[D.S]

Thriller wins by default because well, it's Thriller, but in terms of preference i have go to say ghosts. Never been so exhilerated by a film clip ever.
Best transformations, dance sequence, music and Michael was so cheeky and flirtatious ( in a really un-convetional sense ) in it.
Admittedly, it still scares me a bit, but that's the awesomeness of it.

[BadEraSexy]

I like his cute charm in Ghosts, but Thriller is Thriller, it will always be a classic winner for me

[A_Powerful_Mind]

I love them both but to me Ghosts was absolutely spectacular.

In fact I'd love to see someone turn it into a Broadway like show a la Phantom Of The Opera with a whole story behind it.

The worst part about it is that because of where I'm from and when the record companies were trying to kill Michael's later 90's works, I never saw ghosts before a couple weeks ago. Never heard any of the songs from it either.

Now..."Ghosts" and "Is It Scary" are two of my favourite songs he's ever done.

I've always thought that if Michael had not sung I'd have wished he worked for Disney or started his own Disney like company. He had such an amazing and creative imagination and an eye for excitement. A Michael Jackson inspired theme park would have been the bomb!

[Angela_MJJ]

I voted for Ghosts it has such spectacular effects I love it :)

[D.S]

Was it just me or did anyone else totally see the fat white conservatist dude as Michael from the beginning? I think it was the voice that gave it away.

[amrice]

GHOSTS!
got me hooked, I was 12 when I saw it, twas 2003 and I'm doodling 'Ghosts' all over my notebooks and tests papers :laugh:

this is where I was so amazed by Michael's creativity--my brain kept saying it's just like thriller but I was still glued to it my favorite part is when they had this quick shots in the 'cough scene' so cool and I remember we were planning on a dance routine and I kept bringing up the idea of using a 'powder' to have a dramatic effect on our routine.

so kewl *off to watch*

Honestly am not really fond of Thriller even the song......*runs and hides*

[amrice]

Thriller is a classic but Ghosts is hands down waaaay better. His acting, the storyline, the dancing, its off the hook in Ghosts. And the special effects are sweet.

Not only did she see his brilliance as a performer but she gained sympathy for him as a person.

Let me see Thriller do that!

that's awesome hahah probably start doing that to lil' kids that reads too much tabloids haha lol

[Leia]

Both video-clips are awesome! Thriller is the classic one, and it was made on the beginning of the 80, so the makeup, the special effects, etc. was SUPER! Ghosts is older, and it's normal that the special effects are better. But it's awesome too, I really love this video-clip. It is really good making, it seems true. =)

I voted for Thriller.

[Leia]

that's awesome hahah probably start doing that to lil' kids that reads too much tabloids haha lol
Wow... that's... OMG :|

[amrice]

Wow... that's... OMG :|

I was surprised myself kids keeps telling me all these negative stuff with regards Mike and tell you the truth don't even know how to react anyways that was like 2005 so far haven't encountered one yet.

[BruceWayne]

Ghosts, any day, everyday.

[pauline]

i love both of them, but i like ghosts more=]

RIP Michael

[ShadowMaster]

definitely ghosts.:clapping:

[michaelloverforever1980]

Ghost i love so much but thiller was my era to,but i think ghost comes tops though xxxx

[tsw_gnaget]

These polls really do suprise me.. I really thought Thriller would have the lead, hehe:P

For me it's Thriller.. even if it was sooo far away from my time... It's just too amazing!!

Ghosts was amazing as well, but Thriller takes this one:P

[Miss_star]

awww man....I gotta go with Thriller, it scared me senseless when I was 4 and it was the very first time I saw Michael :wub:

But...I LOVE Ghosts..especially the dancing in '2Bad'..I wish my video player wasn't 'up the creek' otherwise I would be watching it.

ok it's a tie...I honestly like them both equally. :P

[Just a Girl]

gotta go with Ghosts.. i love thriller but Ghosts was better IMO. ..sooo do ya have fun? well did ya? HELLLLLLOOOOOOOOO :wub:

[Miss_star]

^ *clap clap* GAMETIME!! :rollin: love it

[Sugarsiri]

Ghosts!! Love it!! Thriller is awesome but Ghosts had me spellbound. MJ and Stephen King!! Just cannot get any better than that! :)

[Tin Angel]

Ghosts!!!

[The One.]

Ghosts for me too. Of course Thriller was the barrier braker and full respect for that but Ghosts is just, WOW.

I think for me it's also because BOTD was the first album from MJ I listened and I think I even saw Ghosts before Thriller.

[MaryJackson]

I like thriller, but ghosts rocks!!!!!!

[Billie_Jean09]

http://i936.photobucket.com/albums/ad207/Applehead123/l_969feb98e4454ce99adea59944a40c49.gif

For me? Ghosts!!

I watched this for the first time again in 6 months................. when he bangs his head on the floor........u want me to go? ok I'll go................. :-(

xxx

[Billie_Jean09]

BUT oh my hang on!!!

Thriller has such a special place in my heart as I was just 15yrs old when this came out..............
So hard to choose!
http://i936.photobucket.com/albums/ad207/Applehead123/norm_2cib2fsthriller.jpg
Can I choose both?

lol

xxx

[raingirl]

Thriller is a classic of course but I think Ghosts is better

[Dirty]

I love!! Ghosts!!!!!

[mjnana]

I like Thriller !!!

[marilucia]

Ghosts at the time of Thriller I was very young and was afraid to see, now Ghosts I loved watching your special effects and pricipalmente Michael in their transformations.

[HumanNatur3]

Ghosts...I love the choreography better :D


but I LOVE both!

[raz2911]

GHOSTS !!!!
I love it, I grew up around that time and remember coming home from school and watching and singing, dancing and acting it all out :)

[korochan]

Thriller!!

[anko]

I like Thriller !!!!

[Pace,MioDolceCuore]

Ghosts, Ghosts, Ghosts! It fits him to a tee, it's just HIM. Music is great. The story really isn't subtle but it works. Love it.

Still can't understand why there is no official US release on a DVD, why do we have to buy imported Videos CDs in horrible quality?? What is up with that??
Did he speak too much truth in there?

[Helen28]

Ghosts. The talent of the actor is one more gift for him, which Nature has awarded his.

[respect77]

They are very different, in my opinion.

Ghosts is so underrated, while Thriller is a bit overrated in my opinion. Thriller was fun, but Ghosts has something deeper to say and Michael pulls a top performance there as an actor so I went with Ghosts. I wish non fans would know it.

[LoveMJackson]

sorry, I cant choose..I love both! :)

[respect77]

The worst part about it is that because of where I'm from and when the record companies were trying to kill Michael's later 90's works, I never saw ghosts before a couple weeks ago. Never heard any of the songs from it either.


Sadly, that's true.

Ghosts is absolutely phenomenal but the media just wouldn't let you see it.

[N4ty]

Thriller :)

[Stuart_Thriller]

Thriller for me, I prefer the music and while I like Ghosts I find it to be a bit too long.

[Loni1082]

Thriller. it a classic.

[methodman]

thriller for me

[Hazard]

Ghosts as I love the short film

[CaptainEoLove85]

Ghosts is superior to Thriller IMO

[rish15]

Ghosts is extremely under rated. The track is great, but the acting is superb, and the dancing... I can't put it in words how much genius I think it is.

[LaNixie]

Ghosts! Definietly. Thriller ain't bad... but Ghosts is just better :D

[kinder10]

Thriller... Zombies... For me it´s a masterpiece

[Pace,MioDolceCuore]

Ghosts is extremely under rated. The track is great, but the acting is superb, and the dancing... I can't put it in words how much genius I think it is.

Ghosts is just sublime. There's all the obvious stuff, the dancing, the amazing music- but it's that sublime something that he managed to let Stan Winston capture. There's a knowledge in Ghosts that jumps at you from the screen and grabs. Truly, truly rare and sublime. That undercurrent of quicksilver does me in every single time.

[MJJLove94]

I love the short film for Ghosts and I love the song. I wish more people knew about because it doesn't get the credit it deserves. I absolutely love the storyline, the dancing, just everything about it. I like Thriller too. It's a classic, but people act like that's the only song and short film Michael has made.

[flutinggnee]

I still remember the expectation of waiting to see "Thriller" for its debut on a Friday (?) night of my senior year. Had to go to a friend's house to see it, because we didn't have MTV. I LOVE Thriller for my memories of the time, but I think Ghosts is amazing. I think Thriller has become too familiar to me, so I enjoy the surprises of Ghosts more. I'm trying to not see Thriller for awhile so I can "see it again" with less familiarity.

[Darth Sidious]

thriller but ghostsis good too.

[marto12345]

Both of them

[Speechless09]

I voted for Ghosts - it's stunning:wild:

[andreita2994]

i have 11 year cousin who loves hannah montana. i always thried to show her cool mj vids, like 1995 mtv performance, or some music vids. but she always said "oh, his dancing is weird, he looks like a girl (which i get really mad, cuz to mj is hot)" . so i was bored and began to watch ghosts. and i showed her. since there, she loved it. and made me replay it. i was so happy by watching her reaction. i don't why i didn't show her before!. to me ghosts is the best short film of all time
