    I met Vincent Price at our local VFW quite sometime ago . He stopped in on his way through our small town to visit family. There were only a few people at the bar when we stopped in. I said to my husband out loud that I thought that was Vincent Price and he turned around and introduced himself. It was awesome. We did get him to do his famous laugh before he left 😂

    I got to see MJ (the his brothers) perform in LA, and he was starting to promote the Thriller album. My friend and I complained to the usher that the young girls in our section wouldn't stay in their seats and kept standing in front of us along the railing of our balcony section, completely blocking our view. Finally the usher said "follow me" and took us to our new seats - front row side stage!! At one point MJ came to where we were and stuck out his hand where I was able to touch it (the gloved one - lol).

    Michael Jackson was a fan of classic horror movies, as I was growing up, dating back to the original horror classics of the 1930's.
    He liked the 1981 movie American Werewolf of London. So Michael asked the director John Landis to direct this movie short of Thriller.

    This was more of a Short Film than a music video. At the time, the special effects were top notch...there wasn't much CGI back then. You have to remember that MTV was in its infancy and a lot of performers weren't making videos aside from concert live performance videos. "Thriller" set a really high bar for music videos, even if you consider a shorter version that is mostly just the song part.

      I agree wholeheartedly. I truly believe, like so many other child stars, he was mistreated, mainly by his father, but I'm sure the industry had a hand in it. I think MJ's childhood was stolen from him because of his talent. I believe when he became a superstar, he tried to recreate his childhood, creating Neverland for many to enjoy. I'M 51 YEARS OLD AND DON'T BELIEVE MJ EVER DID ANYTHING TO A CHILD. He admitted they slept in his bed, which of course sounds questionable, but in my heart of hearts, I don't believe anything ever happened s*xually between them. MJ became powerful and when he was leaving Sony, I think that's when they continued to go after him, to destroy him. I feel for the man and will always be a fan.

    This video was released on December 2, 1983, I was 11 days from turning 5, I was born in Santiago Chile & we lived under a violent military dictatorship since 1973 and very strictly catholic & most of the population were poor, middle poor, very, poor, extremely poor, lived in shanty town slums poor, or simply had nothing poor. However we were still “privileged” to enjoy American pop culture, like Coca Cola, Pepsi, He-man and many other classic cartoons & of course music including Michael Jackson. Long story short, my mother got me a red “Michael Jackson” jacket since I just loved this song and learned all the sweet moves and used to put on that red jacket and dance for her & others. 😂 She passed away last year in cancer. This was a nice reminder of a great child memories from the few that I have.

    MJ was my man when I was a little girl. I was convinced I was gonna grow up and marry him! I thought he was gonna stay the age he was during his Bad era, and I would catch up to him and marry him (that’s 6 year old me child logic for you!) but any time he was on tv I would dance along with him and this was one of my favourite dances to do.
    Also I watched the making of Thriller when I was a kid too and I fell in love with special effects. I wanted to do it so badly growing up. I would’ve given anything to turn someone into some type of monster and it look convincing. But the making of all of this is incredible. What they did to “pump” his face during his transformation into the wolf, and how painstakingly long it is to apply this type of makeup is just mind blowing

    The voice is Vincent Price, one of the kindest and generous gentleman on earth but was well known as an actor in many, many classic horror movies, mostly black and white movies such as the original "The Fly", its sequel, "The House on Haunted Hill", "The Pendulum", "The Tingler" just to name a few. Michael Jackson did a great job getting Vincent Price to narrate. Perfect. Vincent was 70 or 71 when he did this video, no longer as active in films. I thought it was a great nod to him for a lifetime of work in the horror genre. The ring Michael gave the girl was his class ring, many people did this back in the day when the couple was going "steady". I am much older than you but still remember when the video was first released on MTV. I was in college and we had a party the night it was to be released just to watch it. The thriller album was very hot and this video was very much anxiously awaited for.

    This came out when I was in college and word got around when it was going to be played on MTV. We all managed to find somewhere to watch it, and it was an EVENT. To say this helped drive the Thriller album to the stratospheric sales heights it achieved is obvious, but that album dominated the radio when it came out....

    Michael was a huge film fan, so he put a lot into his music videos. You already know that the artist has to pay for the cost of the music video, and Michael broke records for the most expensive music videos ever. John Landis is also a huge director, hes also worked with Spielberg, you should maybe watch the video for Liberian Girl, from the Bad album to see the kind of connections he had in the 80s and 90s. Also, do you remember Moonwalker?

    It wasn't just a music video, it was a short film.
    Here in Australia you could hire the video of it from the local blockbuster type of store.
    Apparently when I was 3, I was obsessed with Michael Jackson and always pick the video of this (would only watch while sitting between mum and dad though!)
    The family story is that I watched it that often, I could dance the dance they did as soon as I would hear the music start 😂

    Happy Halloween 2024! I remember seeing this video on HBO back in the day when it first came out and they showed actual music videos. This video is classic MJ. The music, the dancing, the choreography. And of course the voice-over with Vincent Price, who was mostly known as a thriller movie actor for decades before. Word has it, MJ asked him to write a little thing and record it and Vincent Price wrote it in a car on his way to the studio.
    But again, it's the dancing, everyone moving in synch. Jackson was the GOAT for that!

    I was in 3rd grade when this came out. I remember it like it was yesterday. Also, the house band for this album was Toto (who had hits like Rosanna, Hold The Line, and Africa).
