Last year, CBS celebrated Halloween with “Michael Jackson’s Halloween,“ a one-hour animated special that featured Jackson’s music as its soundtrack. If you missed it last year, or were hoping it’d be an annual tradition, you’ll be happy to hear that it’s coming back.
CBS will be re-playing “Michael Jackson’s Halloween” on Saturday, October 20!
“Michael Jackson’s Halloween” features the voices of Christine Baranski, Kiersey Clemons, Alan Cumming, George Eads, Brad Garrett, Lucy Liu, Jim Parsons and Lucas Till.
“Created and produced by Optimum Productions, the Michael Jackson company now owned by his estate, Michael Jackson’s Halloween follows millennials Vincent (Till) and Victoria (Clemons), who meet “accidentally” on Halloween night and find themselves, along with Ichabod the dog, at a mysterious hotel located at 777 Jackson Street called This Place Hotel. Once inside, Vincent and Victoria are sent on an adventure culminating in a spectacular dance finale featuring an animated Michael Jackson.”
The special was created and produced by Optimum Productions, with animation production by Hammerhead. John Branca and John McClain, co-executors of the Estate of Michael Jackson, serve as executive producers. Daniel Chuba is the producer and Mark A.Z. Dippé is the director.
