Michael Jackson is getting a new animated Halloween special
Michael Jackson — you know, the King of Pop and Halloween — is getting his own animated television special to celebrate the spooky season this Fall.
According to Jackson's official Twitter account, the legendary singer who died in June 2009 will be honored with an animated television special this fall, titled, Michael Jackson’s Halloween.

The Hollywood Reporter shared that CBS and Jackson's estate teamed up to create the hour-long special, which will feature the pop star's music along with voiceovers by Christine Baranski, Alan Cumming, Jim Parsons, Lucy Liu, George Eads, and Brad Garrett.
Though more details will reportedly be announced in the coming weeks, the tweet includes a photograph of two people named Vincent and Victoria — who reportedly meet on Halloween night — and a dog named Ichabod, all standing in front of an eerie-looking hotel at 777 Jackson Street named "This Place Hotel."
According to the publication, the special will also feature an animated Jackson busting some of his signature dance moves.
Jackson is already known for creating the Halloween anthem, and what's perhaps the greatest music video of all-time, Thriller, so this animated feature better be ready to bring the zombies, ghouls, and werewolves.
