Ghosts (1997/I) More at IMDbPro »

There are no sexual scenes in the film.

There are scenes with skeletons. (The skeletons do not show any gore, and there is no blood, flesh, organs, etc. visible at any point in the film.)

Upon entering the manor, one villager says a single swear word.

There are no drugs or alcohol in the film.

Maestro (Michael Jackson) tries throughout the film to scare the villagers, which includes calling up a family of scary ghosts, turning himself into a skeleton, transforming the mayor (also Michael Jackson) into a disfigured, twisted ghoul, taking control of the mayor, pulling his face into bizarre formations, smashing his hands and face into the floor (which then shatter as if stone), becoming part of the wall, morphing into a 'super ghoul,' scaring the villagers in a skeleton costume, controlling what we assume is magic, ripping his face off to reveal a skull and eyeballs, and shutting the doors on the villagers repeatedly.

The ghouls and ghosts in the movie are a little unnerving; there is a scene with close-ups of their faces, showing the detail of their demonic costumes.

Throughout the film, there are flashing lights, thunder, and lightning.
