How can there be people who have never see the thriller video?!?!?! My mind is blown!!! 😮😮😮😮😮😮😮

[davincibarnette]

It never dawned on me that there would come a time when people didn't know about Thriller.

[joelscottarnold]

You can’t have any idea what a cultural phenomenon this was when it came out in the 80’s. I still remember exactly where I was when it premiered on MTV and it was as big as any motion picture. The beginning sequence was inspired by Jackson’s fascination with the special effects in An American Werewolf In London. Rick Baker actually did the effects for the video as well. The dance sequence is certainly one of the most iconic- if not THE most iconic- in music videos. We truly hadn’t seen anything like Thriller, and we were BLOWN AWAY.

[rosiemercury]

I remember when this debuted. I was around 13 and working at a Chinese restaurant... they had a TV in the dining room. We were all SPEECHLESS ... then everyone just clapped for about 5 minutes after it was over. Amazing time to be alive.

Everyone was wearing those red ‘Thriller’ jackets. You’d go to the mall and see them in the window in clothing stores. Thriller wasn’t an album. It was a worldwide cultural phenomenon.

[RandomDustBunny]

That zombie dance still stands up as the best choreography and dancing that’s ever been in a music video. All the other dancers who are undoubtedly all highly trained, still look clunky next to MJ. Genius, utter genius.

[twanadenson]

I love that you think of this as "old school" Micheal Jackson. If you want old school you have to go way back to when he was a kid in the 60s. He started very young and was ALWAYS phenomenal

[Mulder-Scully]

Whatever anyone may think of Micheal no one can deny he was one of the most talented, creative and influential performers that has ever lived.

[dannyadams]

The genius of this song and using the Prince of Horror Vincent Price was just brilliant

[vickimoran]

You two must have been living under a rock.

[ikerina]

I read his book Moonwalk and he said his label didn't have budget to make another short film after Billie Jean. So, he used his own money to make Thriller and Beat It short films. I admire how he believed in his own vision and made it massive all around the world. He's once in a lifetime musician and performer. The bullies like media and their followers will never success to make me hate him.

Rest in peace, King Michael.

[Polyphemus]

The hilarious incongruity of Vincent Price saying 'Y'all's neighborhood' is completely lost on these kids. But what a masterpiece! The zombie dance is legendary. THANK YOU Michael, and John Landis, for realizing this gem so perfectly.

[timothysutton]

This is actually scary. to realize theres generations that won't know thriller of all songs

[perfume.love.coffee]

Like people have said it's iconic. There are stars today, but the fame MJ had in the eighties is unmatched.

[chasestreet]

I remember when this video premiered on MTV. I got to school the next day, and I dare say there wasn't a single kid who hadn't watched it. Such an iconic moment in MTV's history and for music in general. A huge nod has to go to the movie 'An American Werewolf in London' for inspiring Michael Jackson to reach out to director John Landis to help create this music video.

Thanks to you both for checking this out!! Glad you enjoyed it!

[GiaTorrisi]

We learned the dance from this video. We recorded it on VHS, paused it, rehearsed it, dubbed it so everybody got a copy to practice, & got ready for the school dance contest!

[mrvincentjackson]

This is not a music video. This is not a movie. This is the Mona Lisa of music. Perfection. Masterpiece. NO ONE ANYWHERE will EVER be able to match THIS and it came out in 1982!! I saw this when I was 6 and I was born in '85.

[TheEnnisfan]

Thriller is the greatest music video ever made. Period. Young people will never comprehend the significance of Thriller -- the album. I was a teen when it came out and it was everywhere -- on TV, MTV, and on constant rotation on the radio. Back when people actually bought vinyl, cassettes, and CDs. Physical media, not an MP3 or a stream. The album didn't go away for almost a full year. It was like Beatlemania 20 years prior. There's no equivalent today. You'd practically have to combine 20 Taylor Swifts to match that level of EPIC that Thriller amounted to. Not to mention Michael was 24 when he made Thriller. 24! What were you doing at 24? You understand the level of genius it takes to create the biggest selling album of all time? No one can. It might not happen again for another 100 years.

[peesua]

This was first shown in the UK in 1983. The whole of the UK was stunned that a music video could be like a movie. MJ was a real pioneer.

[DragonAndBerr]

I can't help but cry a little when I see something from MJ. Makes me think of such a talent being lost. Amazing showman and musical creative.
