    This is a mini movie of Michael Jackson's album title track 'Thriller'. Directed by John Landis (American Werewolf in London). Michael and his girlfriend watch a werewolf movie and she runs out of the cinema because she is scared. They walk home passed a cementry and the bodies c...( read more)ome to life. Michael transforms into a zombie and performs the Thriller zombie dance. The dance is legendary. Thriller became the best selling album in history - a record 110 million copies and I'm sure it will sell millions more. Every year 145,000 copies are sold in US alone.

    'Thriller' remains the greatest of the pop music promos to have a plot, great visuals, and a tip-top song to wrap the film around. Michael Jackson was at the top of the tree at this time (and not so altered in his plastic surgery regime for it to matter). Here he is in good form ...( read more)- the song is terrific, he leads the zombies in dance like no other.

    Ola Ray plays the girl who watches with incredulity as her sweet boyfriend (Jackson, natch) turns into a werewolf! Then to the pulsing rhythms of the opening line 'It's close to midnight', he stomps around the graveyard with the other zombies and creatures of the night.

    The crowning glory of all this is the fruity voice of the great horror star Vincent Price speaking in the middle of the record. Terrific.

    The greatest music video ever . Little recomendation from me in memory of Michael Jackson R.I.P

    I'm not exactly a fan just an admirier of his music, mainly from the 1980's. Thriller is one I love.

    classic! spooky Michael Jackson werewolf effects and dancing zombies. Better than "Land of the Dead". They showed this many times at the start of MTV and MuchMusic. Everybody was watching it and talking about it.

    '`Ca
    ...( read more)use this is thriller, thriller night
    And no one's gonna save you from the beast about strike
    You know its thriller, thriller night
    You're fighting for your life inside a killer thriller tonight'

    'Darkness falls across the land
    The midnight hour is close at hand
    Creatures crawl in search of blood
    To terrorize yawl's neighborhood
    And whosoever shall be found
    Without the soul for getting down
    Must stand and face the hounds of hell
    And rot inside a corpses shell
    The foulest stench is in the air
    The funk of forty thousand years
    And grizzly ghouls from every tomb
    Are closing in to seal your doom
    And though you fight to stay alive
    Your body starts to shiver
    For no mere mortal can resist
    The evil of the thriller'

    'Due to my strong person convictions
    I wish to stress that this film in no
    way endorses a belief in the occult.'

    Michael Jackson's THRILLER. Photobucket



    1950s. Dark black. It's a dark, sinister night as Michael Jackson (as himself - we all knew Michael) drives his creaky motor to the side of the road. He tells his date (Ola Ray, who was in several 80s horrors), 'Honestly, we're out of gas!'. She looks bemused, but becomes interested, 'So, what are we gonna do now?'.

    As Michael and this young woman walk on the streets (it's not clear what they're doing, this could just be part of one of Michael's unpredictable, exciting plans from his earlier music videos), Michael stops. He turns to Ola, wearing an innocent cherry frock, and after asking her to be 'his girl', he explains that there's something he has to tell her. Suddenly, Michael in a crimson and mustard jacket, shrieks in pain, and alas we see the full moon crawl from it's darkness to illuminate the streets.

    'GO AWAY!' Photobucket


    It looks like a B-Movie. It is. Michael and Ola are actually in a cinema watching this humorous, light entertainment. Ola gets scared, Michael teases her, and begins the first verse of one of the most 'magical', entertaining, revolutionary tracks I have ever heard.

    Not only - arguably - the best track off his second solo album with Epic Records, Thriller (arguably - the best album of all time, evidently - the best selling album of all time), but also one of the best tracks of all time, as well as the best (most expensive at $1,000,000) music video, some ultimate shots and scenes are present here. The creativity and genius of Michael Jackson will never be forgotten.

    Look Further:
    Ghosts (1997)

    One of the best music videos ever made, even the extended version is good.
