Surely this Halloween will bring every era of Michael Jackson back to life in costume form, but this Long Island City local has put up a scarecrow tribute to the late performer. Apparently he wears two gloves in the afterlife!

The King of Pop has officially popped up all over the place, with a new song being released today, and a movie hitting the big screen on October 28th — both titled, This Is It. The NY Times' Ben Sisario reports that the track originally only contained his piano and vocals, but "a full arrangement was built, complete with swelling strings and his brothers’ backup vocals." It's uncertain when it was recorded, but the guesses range from 1979 to 1991. Take a listen here.

The old scarecrow finally came down over the summer...

Considering the fact that Michael Jackson played the scarecrow in the movie version of "The Wiz" I have to give a D for lack of originality.
