Michael Jackson Unreleased & Unedited “Is This Scary Dailies" VHS Footage.
This short film was written by Stephen King and was to be the title song for the movie, “Adams Family Values".
The production was halted when Michael Jackson found out about the Jordan Chandler allegations. It was never released or finished due to Michael Jackson's depression over the allegations, and also, the movie studio no longer wanted to be associated with him.
This footage shows Jackson in multiple takes of scenes where he is reenacting the same scenarios he was experiencing in real life. The world would find out about the allegations just a few weeks after filming ended. Jackson ended up calling in sick many days on this short film, due to his depression over the allegations, and the knowledge that it would soon go public.
The footage shows him using curse words in one scene, where he is asked to yell at the people in his town for calling him a “weirdo". The townspeople had to yell names at MJ like, “weirdo", “you're scaring our children!" and more. The premise is that the adults of this small town want to kick MJ out of town, due to him being weird and scaring their children. When Stephen King and MJ wrote the script, neither knew that the exact thing was about to really happen, in a very public way. There's even a scene where MJ dies, and we had to pretend that he was dead. It's all very deep, and the majority of this footage has never been seen before.

Watermark of the production company is at the bottom of the footage.
