MICHAEL JACKSON - JACKSON CREDITORS SERVE UP A THRILLER TRIPLE AT HALLOWEEN

JACKSON CREDITORS SERVE UP A THRILLER TRIPLE AT HALLOWEEN

MICHAEL JACKSON's estate administrators have been dealt a triple creditors' THRILLER - just in time for Halloween.
The Thriller video's director, the company behind the promo and the man who produced it have all filed for claims - adding to the list of people demanding cash they're allegedly owed from the late King of Pop.
Filmmaker John Landis claims Jackson owed him more than $400,000 (£250,000) from a deal the pop superstar made to take Thriller to Broadway and the bosses of Levitsky Productions, the company which hired Landis to write and make the Thriller video and documentary, insist they're due $1 million (£625,000) in royalties.
And producer George Folsey Jr. has alleged Jackson failed to pay him his share of Thriller-related merchandise. According to TMZ.com, he's asking for at least $1 million (£625,000) from the late star's estate.
Adding to the new list of creditors, the King of Pop's one-time manager, Leonard Rowe, is also demanding payment from the estate.
He filed a creditors claim for $51,000 (£31,800) on Thursday (29Oct09), claiming Jackson brought him on board in March (09) to "oversee and supervise his finances and the shows at the O2 Concert Hall in London." The pop star died before those shows could begin.
Rowe claims his expenses came to $51,000 and he wants to be paid in full.
Existing creditors include Jackson's former choreographer LaVelle Smith Jr., an accounting firm, a Las Vegas security business, a hairstylist and the King of Pop's skin doctor Arnold Klein.
