I'm sure the track listing will be announced eventually. Although it's always fun to guess what might be on it... isn't it? ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

Isn't there said to be a track called Monster from the Invincible sessions? Would be nice to get 1 or 2 new songs. I'm not expecting anything new but it would be a good incentive. Elements from tracks like Leave Me Alone and Dirty Diana sort of suggest an Immortal style remix album, although Dirty Diana has that dark intro that's sort of scary? TonyR. Lol, you and your obsession with Who Is It! ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) Great song like! I don't really see Scream as a horror song either. It better include Threatened and it will possibly include Somebody's Watching Me?

But the 'Who Is It - is it a friend of mine' is quite dark & 'scary!'
Scream is only being used for it's title after all.
Good call on Somebody's Watching Me.
Speaking of Rockwell, I only found out recently that we is Berry Gordy's son!

Think you got em all there, SoCav I didn't! Someone on MJJC very nicely spotted that the word 'day' (mixed over the background vocals going "Dangerous") actually comes from "ten years ago toDAY" in Heartbreak Hotel.

To be honest, I don't think either Is It Scary or Threatened really are horror songs. Not in the Thriller-Somebody's Watching Me sense. In Is It Scary and Threatened the ghost-monster theme is just a metaphor and it's really about MJ's relationship with the public, media, judgemental people etc. Thriller doesn't have those deeper layers. Same is true for the Thriller short film (a fun but straightforward horror story) and the Ghosts short film (a metaphor). That's why I always side-eye anyone who says MJ tried to repeat Thriller with those. No, he didn't. He simply used the horror theme to express his personal experiences - an element that wasn't yet there on Thriller.
But of course, because the metaphor used is about monsters and ghosts, of course they can be sold as "horror songs". I don't mind the idea, I am just taking note of the fact that these latter songs have more layers to them and I kind of hope those would be brought forward as well.

Apart from the title, Scream doesn't fit the bill at all. Unless they do something new with it? Yeah I remember you saying that about Rockwell when you found out. ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) I didn't always know that myself either, only in last ten years.

I wonder what this will actually be. Surely it won't just be a lazy compilation of these previously released songs? Surely there has to be some kind of angle to it, otherwise what's the point?

Here it is on Amazon. The track list is included. www.amazon.com/Scream-Michael-Jackson/dp/B075BH9BK3/ref=sr_1_5

They have it listed in your link, but they have a pic of the 12" single for Scream so I'm hoping that's just a mistake.

They appear to use the latest master for each song according to an Amazon tracklist I saw, so no new mixes/remasters.
No Is It Scary is a bizarre decision that only the Estate would make.

Just checked the track times lads, looks like they went with the shitty version of Xscape from 2014.
