Last month we let you guys know that “Michael Jackson’s Halloween,” the new CBS holiday animated musical special, will be premiering on Friday, October 27th. And today we have the animated film’s trailer.
I’m not even going to point out the irony of Michael Jackson having a kid’s Halloween special, but all the same, I dig Halloween horror animation so even I might be checking this out once it hits.
That said, “Thriller” may be the only “Michael Jackson Halloween” we ever need. And that’s totally cool.
