gavin6942 A night at the movies turns into a nightmare when Michael Jackson and his date (Ola Ray) are attacked by a hoard of bloody-thirsty zombies - only "Thriller" can save them now.So, you have one of the great Michael Jackson songs, directed by John Landis, makeup by Rick Baker and narration by Vincent Price. Those are the ingredients that make greatness. Add to it a dance that has now become iconic in its own right, and this is easily the greatest music video of all time. (After thirty years, no one has come close, and the medium of "music video" is almost a dead art.) And, if Jackson was not already the King of Pop, this would have been the thing that cemented him. For the rest of the 1980s, he reigned supreme (with all due respect to Madonna).

Derek MacDonell (ThePaladin1) This video/short film remains on many lists as one of, if not the greatest music video of all time and it is easy to see why. This is The King of Pop at the height of his powers before his eccentricities really took over as they have seemed to in recent years.A cohesive storyline mixes with the music and the dance as well as a vocal cameo by horror master Vincent Price creating a story like none since. It does have its weaknesses, particularly the now dated special effects and I have always found Ola Ray's "scream queen" performance as Micheal's girlfriend more than a little annoying. But its strengths far outweigh any weaknesses and they can be put into the same category as the classic "camp" horror flicks that the video seems to be a tribute to.Bravo Mike, and I hope you find your way back to a similar place to this once again.

tomstone Before I had saw the Thriller video in 2001, my family and friends all tried to explain what happens in it. I put all the bits together and came up with this storyline. Tell me what you think.The camera comes down on Michael and his date coming out of the cinema and they start to walk to his house while singing Thriller. After finishing the verses they come to a graveyard and Michael suggests that they go in. While walking around Ola notices that she's been abandoned. She goes off looking for Michael. She see's his footprints heading into a nearby forest so she follows them. She hears him groaning and finds him in a clear patch in the grass. She asks him if he's alright and He turns around with the yellow eyes and warns her to get away from him. After a full transformation into a werewolf he chases her back into the graveyard and zombies have started to rise from their grave. After being cornered by Michael and the zombies they start to dance and sing the chorus to Thriller. After that she runs into Michael's house to seek shelter but Were-Panther Michael and the zombies follow her in. She goes in and stabs Michael with a silver knife and he turns to normal. as the sun comes back out the zombies turn to go back to their grave. Then Ola wakes up and realises that it's still night-time and that they've arrived home from the cinema. Then Michael says she can stay at his place for the night and goes to shut the curtains and as he does he stops. The camera shows a full moon and cuts to Michael's face at the window with the yellow eyes and the teeth and the camera gradually zooms closer to the window Obviously not what happens but might have been good to see. I know I was more scared of my family's version of the tale. but the one thing that haunts me every day and night is those yellow cats eyes both at the beginning and the end.
