Did you know that GHOSTS was supposed to be shown in 3D?
That’s right! In 1999, the Japanese company “Landmark Entertainment” designed a concept for the famous theme Park: Huis Ten Bosch, Sasebo, Nagasaki, Japan. The park recreates the Netherlands by displaying life-sized copies of old Dutch buildings. The name Huis Ten Bosch translates into English as “House at the Woods/Forest”. It is named after Huis ten Bosch in The Hague, one of the three official residences of the Dutch Royal Family.
GHOSTS was filmed and released in 1996 and released along with select prints of the film Thinner. It was first screened in the 1997 Cannes Film Festival. It was released a year later internationally on LaserDisc, VHS and Video CD.
The concept included a pre-show parlour and the theatre to show Michael Jackson’s GHOSTS. Even a logo was created for the attraction in the park. Although this attraction never became a reality, in 2020, the concept designs of the attraction were sold in auction.
Here they are:
We can now just dream about this amazing project and seeing a replica of the mansion and having GHOSTS in 3D would have been the most amazing fan experience!
