The great Stephen King wrote GHOSTS with Michael. MJ only worked with the best
Michael Jackson’s Ghosts is a short film starring Michael Jackson and directed by film director and special effects guru Stan Winston which could also be classified as a long-form 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. The film is also notable for an early film appearance of rapper Mos Def.

In this May 8, 1997 photo below Michael Jackson sits next to Stan Winston before the screening of his latest music video “Ghost” at the Festival Palace in Cannes during the 50th International Cannes Film Festival. Hollywood special-effects maestro Stan Winston has died at age 62. The Oscar-winning visual effects artist died at his home Sunday, June 15, 2008, surrounded by family after a seven-year struggle with multiple myeloma, according to a representative from Stan Winston Studio.
Stanley Winston (April 7, 1946 – June 15, 2008) was an American visual effects supervisor, make-up artist, and film director. He was best known for his work in the Terminator series, the Jurassic Park series, Aliens, the Predator series, Iron Man and Edward Scissorhands. He won four Academy Awards for his work.
Winston, a frequent collaborator with director James Cameron, owned more than one effects studio, including Stan Winston Digital. The established areas of expertise for Winston were in makeup, puppets and practical effects, but he had recently expanded his studio to encompass digital effects as well.
In 1996, Winston directed and co-produced the longest and the most expensive music video of all time, Ghosts, which was based on an original concept of Michael Jackson and Stephen King. The long-form music video presented a number of never before seen visual effects, and promoted music from two consecutive Jackson albums, HIStory and Blood on the Dance Floor: HIStory in the Mix, which went on to become the biggest selling double-album and remix album of all time (20 million and 11 million).
Winston moved to Hollywood to pursue a career as an actor. Struggling to find an acting job, he began a makeup apprenticeship at Walt Disney Studios.

This must have developed during Janet Jackson’s Rhythm Nation Era! 1989 to 1992. I used to love Karyn White as a little girl. I remember her single ‘SUPERWOMAN’, it was one of few songs I knew word for word. For those of you who don’t know Karyn White was a hot chick in the late 80′s. Unfortunately they are no longer together as Terry is now remarried to Indira Singh but according to wiki they have a daughter together, her name is Ashley Nicole Lewis.
PS: Terry Lewis is shorter than Jimmy Jam, just in case you can never tell the difference!
After the success of her platinum self-titled debut album ‘Karyn White’ in 1988, her follow-up album was ‘Ritual of Love’ in 1991. It had songs produced by Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis and featured the hit single “Romantic”, which hit number one on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. I figure this is how they met!

KARYN White’s stomach was doing somersaults.
This was her moment of truth.
And as she picked up the telephone and called Minneapolis, she understood clearly that when the call was over she would either be one happy–or humiliated–young woman.
As the phone rang, she closed her eyes and pictured what she would say when Terry Lewis came on the line. I can’t stop thinking about you? I want to be more than friends. She had no idea what was going to come out of her mouth. All she knew for certain was that, after months of long-distance conversation, she was finally going to tell Lewis how she felt about him.
“For a long time, I didn’t know where he was coming from,” says White of lewis, the Grammy-winning producer of Jimmy (Jam) Harris and Terry Lewis fame whom she had met in 1989 while recording at their Flyte Tyme Productions Studios in Minneapolis. “We would have these long, great conversations; and while I knew I really liked him, I would hang up wondering how he felt about me. It was like, What are you waiting for?’ Finally, I just had to say it. I told my girlfriend, “That’s it. I’m doing it today.’ So I called him up … and I just said, Look, I want to tell you something. I really like you.’”
