The director and producer of the iconic "Thriller" music video are less than thrilled. George Folsey, Jr., the video's producer, filed a claim on Thursday stating that he is due more than $1 million for his contribution.

An attorney for director John Landis also made a claim on Thursday against Michael Jackson's estate. He believes to be owed more than $1.3 million.

Landis also filed a suit to prevent Jackson from pursuing additional "Thriller" projects, such as a musical theater production. The cases continue to be pending. Take a look at court papers related to the suits here.

Jackson's former manager, Leonard Rowe, said he is owed more than $300,000 on Thursday, according to the Associated Press. Earlier this week, dermatologist Dr. Arnold Klein filed a claim as well.
