Michael Jackson's Ghosts is a 1996 short film starring Michael Jackson, directed by Stan Winston, and written by Stephen King and Mick Garris. It is based on a story by Garris, Jackson and King.

Legendary Hollywood choreographer Stacy Walker has worked on countless iconic projects, and during the Jan. 6 episode of The Dammit Danii Podcast, she pulled back the curtain on some unforgettable behind-the-scenes moments. From Michael Jackson’s Ghosts short film to the cult classic Coyote Ugly and Courtney Love’s “Celebrity Skin” video, Walker shared stories fans rarely hear.
Walker revealed that dancing as one of the ghouls in Ghosts was actually her very first job in Los Angeles and her first time ever meeting Michael Jackson. Without auditioning, she landed not only that role but went on to work with Michael Jackson two more times, including on his final world tour.
Despite the honor, Ghosts remains her most challenging job to date.
“It was dirty, it was prosthetics, it was heavy costumes,” she recalled. “They dust you down and spray you with cobwebs. And the dancing was hard, it was monster-ugly dancing. I was used to cute, elegant movement.”
Beyond the demanding work, Walker described Michael Jackson as warm, kind, and deeply appreciative of everyone involved. She said she got to know him even better while touring, when the small group of dancers spent most of their time together.

I really think we're going to have to stop using the word "Legendary" all the time.
