Is It Scary
"Is It Scary" is a song by American recording artist Michael Jackson. The song was originally written to have been featured in the 1993 film ''Addams Family Values'', but the plans were canceled after contract conflicts. The song was recorded for Jackson's 1997 remix album, ''Blood on the Dance Floor: HIStory in the Mix''. "Is It Scary" was written and produced by Jackson, Jimmy Jam (James Harris III) and Terry Lewis.
"Is It Scary" received mixed reviews from contemporary music critics. Musically, the song was viewed by music critics as showing a "darker side" of Jackson, and compared the song's composition to material from Marilyn Manson. In November 1997, a radio edit version of the song was released as a promotional single in the Netherlands, while promo singles containing remixes were released in the United States and the United Kingdom.
==Background==
"Is It Scary" was originally written by Michael Jackson, James Harris III and Terry Lewis for the 1993 film ''Addams Family Values''.〔 Paramount Pictures had signed Jackson to record a horror-themed song for the film (which became "Is It Scary") and to promote it with a video, but the song was dropped from the soundtrack due to contractual difficulties. The song was among those considered for inclusion on Jackson's 1995 double album, ''HIStory: Past, Present and Future, Book I'', but it was not chosen as it did not complement the other tracks on the album.〔 Jackson subsequently wrote the song into his 1997 short film, ''Ghosts''. Jackson reused lyrics from "Is It Scary" for the film's title track, which is also included on his ''Blood on the Dance Floor'' album. Jackson, Harris and Lewis were given producing credit for the song on ''Blood on the Dance Floor''.〔''Blood on the Dance Floor'' liner notes Epic Records (1997).〕
A remix of "Is It Scary", called "DJ Greek's Scary Mix", was included on a three-track 'minimax' CD single that was released as part of the ''Ghosts'' Deluxe Collector Box Set. Remixes of "Is It Scary" were also included on Jackson's canceled single, "Smile". The radio edit for "Is It Scary" was later included on the third disc of the deluxe edition of Jackson's greatest hits album ''King of Pop'' in 2008 in the United Kingdom. "Is It Scary" was also featured on the deluxe edition of ''King of Pop'' in France. Samples of "Is It Scary" and "Threatened" (from Jackson's tenth studio album ''Invincible'') are featured in the "Thriller" segment of the concert documentary film, ''Michael Jackson's This Is It'' (2009).〔''Michael Jackson's This Is It'' () Sony Entertainment (2010).〕 Tommy D. also produced a remix of the song, but this mix was never officially released. However, this mix leaked in the internet in November 2010.
