I don't know why, but somehow I think this Ghosts movie is something we have to look at. Maybe there are more lookalike's?
What do you think?
Yes, I think so too. The short movie "Ghosts" is a perfect parallel of the hoax.
Regarding GHOSTS, THRILLER, THREATENED, MONSTER and everything ZOMBIE-related in Michael's art, there is this YT series of amazing videos....containing parallels to the twilight Zone films.
Most of you probably saw them already, but I thought they fit well in this thread, especially for those who haven't watched them yet.
I'll also post the video-maker's descriptions of the videos:
1. "Michael Jackson's Song THREATENED contains excerpts from Rod Serling's "The Twilight Zone", an American television anthology series. Jackson refers in THREATENED to some significant Twilight Zone episodes. Significant for his past, present and future. Each episode is a mixture of fantasy, science fiction, suspense or horror, often concluding with a macabre or unexpected Twist . The summary of this excerpts Michael Jackson selected for the song are piece - by - piece like a biography of his public character.
Episode "IT'S A GOOD LIFE!" - The first stop in The Twilight Zone -- Michael Jackson choice for the episode "It's A Good Life!" The introduction ... ARE ANY RESEMBLANCE REALLY COINCIDENTALLY? To be continued."

2. "Michael Jackson's Song THREATENED contains excerpts from Rod Serling's "The Twilight Zone", an American television anthology series. Jackson refers in THREATENED to some significant Twilight Zone episodes. The contents of this episodes are very interesting regarding Michael Jackson himself, at least his public persona. I don't know, if his choice for the episodes is random or intended but similarities cannot be denied.
The next stop in The Twilight Zone -- Michael Jackson choice for the episode "The Bard".
THREATENED lyrics:
(...) [ROD SERLING VERSE]
The unknown monster is "ABOUT TO EMBARK"
From a far corner, out of the dark (...)
"ABOUT TO EMBARK" is an excerpt from The Twilight Zone episode "The Bard".
It's very interesting that this episode reflects the controversy about the Cascio tracks on the MICHAEL Album. By the way, unfortunately I can't say for sure that there is in fact Michael Jackson's voice on this songs or not. I wish I could. But remember: even in THREATENED he experimented a lot with the sound and his voice. Sorry for the bad audio quality, but because of Sony there was no other possibility. If you are interested, you can watch "The Twilight Zone -- The Bard" full here on Youtube."

3. "Michael Jackson refers in his song THREATENED to some significant Twilight Zone episodes.
If you go through all parts of Rod Serling's rap Jackson adds together, it's like watching his autobiography in his own special way - it's like reading a story he wants to tell. Is it really pure coincidence, that Michael Jackson used this particular episodes from The Twilight Zone for his song THREATENED?"

4. "Episodes: "The Bewitchin' Pool" and "Walking Distance" - This part is about the magical Neverland and lost youth -- impossible to ignore when it comes to Michael Jackson. Martin Sloan, who makes a time travel back in his childhood, offered the perfect explanation why Michael Jackson searched for his lost youth and created his own Neverland.
Is the reference in the THREATENED song his own special way to tell his life story ? Only to discover if you really want discover? In several layers like his whole music creation. If the answer is Yes, then there is a lot more to find between the song and the Twilight Zone connection."

5. "Michael Jacksons/Rod Serlings THREATENED Rap:
