Written by Rod Temperton
Produced by Quincy Jones for Quincy Jones Productions
From the album Thriller, released November 30, 1982
Released as a single January 23, 1984
THE SHORT FILM
Director: John Landis
Primary Production Location: Los Angeles, California
Michael Jackson's short film for "Thriller" was the third of three short films produced for recordings from Thriller, which continues its reign as the biggest selling album of all time with worldwide sales in excess of 105 million as of June 1, 2016 and in December 2015 became the first ever album to be awarded triple diamond status (i.e.: sales in excess of 30 million) by the RIAA for US sales alone. The "Thriller" single reached No. 1 in four countries in 1984, topping the U.S. Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart as well as charts in Spain, France and Belgium. The song peaked at No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100, making Thriller the first album to feature seven Top 10 singles. The Recording Industry Association of America certified "Thriller" Gold and Platinum on December 4, 1989.
The groundbreaking short films for the Thriller album, starting with "Billie Jean," following up with "Beat It" and culminating with the epic, nearly 14-minute "Thriller," truly expanded the possibilities of "music video" as art form. "I wanted something that would glue you to the set, something you'd want to watch over and over," Michael wrote in his 1988 memoir Moonwalk. "I wanted to be a pioneer in this relatively new medium and make the best short music movies we could make."
In the short film's extended prologue, Michael's moonlit date with his girlfriend (played by model Ola Ray) is interrupted by his sudden transformation into a howling werewolf. While the "real" Michael and Ola, observing the scene in a movie theater, walk home from the their date, Michael teases her by singing the verses of "Thriller."

Lyrics:
It's close to midnight
Something evil's lurking from the dark
Under the moonlight
You see a sight that almost stops your heart
You try to scream
But terror takes the sound before you make it
You start to freeze
As horror looks you right between your eyes
You're paralyzed
'Cause this is thriller
Thriller night
And no one's gonna save you
From the beast about to strike
You know it's thriller
Thriller night
You're fighting for your life
Inside a killer thriller tonight, yeah
#MichaelJackson #Thriller #Halloween #4kRemastered
"Is this a movie or a song?"
MJ : *YES*
😂😂😂
He took it even further in Bad
actual MJ: _Tee-hee_
Polverine lol ppl still watching this song and commenting
The best video all the time !!!
When we were kids: Scariest thing we ever saw
Now: A masterpiece
Dead ass.i was so scared.still am in a way
True tho I was terrified as a kid watching esp on the zombie part😅
It was a masterpiece then!
Faccs crazy how everything changed
Ikrrr I remember it being a literal nightmare now its 👩🍳 🤌💋
This short film is 40 years old and is still a masterpiece. Really shows how much genius was put into it.
Facts!!!
Real
@@istmaiuwheyoo😊
for the love of christ please don’t remind me how old this video is
Geuc@@JamesBrooks-hj3dz
This might arguably be the best song and music video ever made. Michael Jackson is definitely the Godfather of music entertainment.
Fr bro
Yeah it is I love it 💛
Michael, I was 34 when this Classic Song hit the charts.
74 now and I'm still bumping it and will always play it on Halloween until it's all over for me. Thank You for all the songs and shows you left us.❤️🕊️
You were lucky that you lived through that era. I was born in 94 and I so wish I was a 70s kid just so I could enjoy MJ's art in my younger years.
Halloween is not Halloween without Michael Jackson THRILLER!! Don't you agree?
I'm also 74. Love Thriller.
@@prernanaithani5971 same here I would have loved to see him and I was born in 94 too
When this came out, I was 21, and it is not Halloween without watching this video! Oh, and I love hearing Vincent Price’s voice on the video.
He dance
He sing
But most importantly..
He hee
Underrated comment, for real ! 😂
Man 😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂. He takes my heart with HEHE
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
It 2021 this is amazing
Before Thriller, After Thriller
Michael changed the pop music totally ♥️♥️♥️
The Music World,not just pop....
anyone listening to this on 2024?
I am
Yup many
I had a laserdisc with the making of the entire music video with dance choreography and rehearsals and stuff. It was really neat to watch. As a small child I became obsessed with movie monsters😅
@@t.mendoza1396 that is so nice😃👍
Of course
Thriller: The greatest dance choreography ever filmed.
Gonna leave this @ 69
I liked Smooth Criminal better, but yeah it is great
Motown 25.. Michael shot into the stratosphere. He released his version of the moonwalk to the world. Music and dance fundamentally shifted after that night.
Your right as rain the Best EVER
Agreed.
Never seen any artist do a music video like this again.
Never
never ever. It’s too incredible to be defeated.
.................@@luckyear
I know
Very detailed
He dances like a beast
He sings like an angel
He Lived like a king
He died as a legend
Best song of all time, in my opinion.
SMOOTH CRIMINAL
I was 26 or 27 when at a friend’s house, he said “You have to see this!” and turned on MTV and showed me this video. I still think it’s one of MJ’s best.
Glad you’re still with us, Kat!
Happy Halloween! 🎃🧟♂️🧟♀️🧟
Kat, you seem have a lot of stories. I would enjoy sitting down with you to hear some. You can tell me to mind my business if you think this question is too forward, but did he have a romantic interaction with you afterwards? Because back then this was considered scary to most, I remember CBS wouldn’t air it before 9pm because of the content; therefore if the man who’s house you were over made you watch this and then tried to get laid while you were scared, that’s pretty sick.
Lies again? Halloween Horror Nights USD SGD
It’s an absolute CRIME that you had to wait till you were 26 to see this video for the first time !
@highkey_steeze she said that’s how old she was when it came out. After the guy showed it to her, she alluded that he had sex with her, which is more disturbing. Men are just not gentlemen like me I supposed.
The scared the shit out of me when I was a kid
Same
I was like 8 when I first watched this and I was super terrified! My little brother even hid behind my mom when the werewolf transformation was going on!!
Sameeeeeeee XDDD
Bruh I was scared to sleep for a long time after watching this as a kid😂
Same, gave me nightmares
So much talent in one person. Michael was the full representation of the infinite potential that reside in all of us. R.I.P the one and only King of Pop.
Anyone in April 2024?????
Hell yeah! He was a tad odd, but dayam what a voice!
😊
Heck yes
The year changes we dont
I’m watching it for the first time ❤
not only is this song timeless, but the choreography for the zombie dance is unforgettable
Choreography in "Ghost" anche meraviglioso.
Exactly
Its in tf2
@@RobertTeagueOdiernoyes?
You're completely right. It's hipnotical and mesmerizing
How to stop a zombie apocalypse
Guns: NO
Nuclear bombs: NO
Dancing: Yes
If I’ll also point out that he is the Dancing zombie in PvZ PC.
Lol
Lol
Say less
Why dance cant go work ?, worked in past
Damn 50 years later and he still the GREATEST
Your place in people's hearts will not change forever.❤
Yeah it will you would have 2 wait thought
3:46 The way he just carelessly keeps eating popcorn 🍿 is priceless to me 😂
Vincent Price(less)!
sorry for the dad joke
P

Must be some good ass popcorn
Yea
He has his goodies
“Can we get outta here”
“No I’m enjoying this” 😂😂😂😂😂
*says that while seeing s girl getting crippled by a werewolf that looks more like a cat actually*
Haha
Lhldo😊😅😮🎉😂❤😢😊😊 6:16 😊😊😊 6:09
UNDOUBTEDLY THE GREATEST MUSIC VIDEO EVER MADE !
Yessss all time❤
Earth will never have musician like he was. No one can ever make music video like this. This is masterpiece, new gens don't let people forget who Michael Jackson was
A legendary piece of music right here folks, don't take it for granted.
Even if he was alive. Indeen everyone has to die
@juancarlos Orres you belive in your fake news good luck
Simon Di Sante what fake news??
9:40 gives me chill
Still the GREATEST most ENTERTAINING video EVER made.
Same
Yes it was! I love this video!
yess
I was trying to find covers and believe me there is none that can match the original.
For sure
John Landis+Rick Baker+Michael Jackson+Vincent Price = Greatest Music Video Ever ❤
Greatest Music video of All Time
Fun fact: at the 1984 Grammy awards, Michael Jackson won 'Best Vocal performance' for an amazing three different genres of music: the Pop category for Thriller, the Rock category for Beat it, and the R&B category for Billie Jean.
Hey what is your name
❤❤
The only guy can do it only mj❤❤❤
Me
F. U it,s expected so,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
There will never be another music video that can even come close to competing with this masterpiece.
There will never be a scene like this that made me skip and close my eyes until the Zombie part. NO MOVIE HAS EVER DONE THAT AND NEVER WILL!!!!
Facts, I don't care there are more people in the world now or that times change. MJ was Iconic to the point even countries that had no running water knew his name.
Facts! Lol ❤️
Así es, ni siquiera All Too Well de Taylor Swift, que dura diez minutos.
I’ve always been in awe with this dance and music video … !!!
It’s the best dance I’ve ever seen in my life time ..!!!
It’s just wow 🤩 and phenomenal…!!
I even bought the vhs music video of thriller when it came out !!!
Jaw dropping dance !!!!
I had no idea …
Now I do …!!!!
I do remember… omg !!!!
Amazing !!!
Michael is gold
Yeah he was
42 years later and it's still ICONIC!
Boys: run from the zombies
men: kill the the zombies
Legends: dance with the zombies
Truly legend
True
So very true
Girls : *very very loud screaming*
true
It doesn't matter if Michael died 14 years ago or 1,000 years ago, he will always be the King of Pop. 🫂🫀👑
Superhit song..
Like the nephilim from the bible
so true
Kesinlikle Türkiye den selamlar 🇹🇷
So true
Both a Musical and Cinematic Masterpiece that will never get old
I remember when this first came out in 1982. I was 8 at the time and living in Ireland. They screened it at Dawson's amusement arcade in Bray, Co.Wicklow. Each time we watched it, we'd get a free ride on the waltzers!!
This has got to be one of the best music videos ever produced.
An iconic legend.
Ben Lokey from 'breakin' (1984) is in this too.
A lot of work went into this.
Loved the 80s❤
“Can we leave please?”
“No I’m enjoying this!”
Best line ever lol. R.I.P MJ, king of pop.
Why rip
@@stillhungry2513 because Michael Jackson is dead.
i love how everyone is screaming how he is smiling
@@F3l.Cia03 lol yeah. Love it too.
@@goo_90 yea :(
ICONIC
Hey
Yeah 🎃👻
:D
Yep 🎃
I really can't think of a more iconic video than this one
❤
I agree completely.
Salute 🫡💯🔥🔥
Micheal was such a gentle soul
I'm telling you, this song will never get old. Not even in the 30th century. It's ageless.
I dont think we will make it to the 30th century but if we do than yes it will never get old.
No it wont
Yeah, i know.
All i wanna say is that this song is ageless.
Depends if the newer generations will like it
@@dasuku1775 I'm sure they will. All artists of the 21st century including juntin bieber, justin Timberlake , usher , jason derulo, the weeknd , beyonce, bruno mars... etc were inspired by his works which were made in the 20th century. This indicates that his legacy will continue for generations to come.
Everybody likes it.
Unreal. We will never see anything like this again in our lifetimes.
Yup, It's very unlikely. This level of talent is a once in thousand years thing. I miss him, as much as I miss Freddie Mercury.
True
It's surprise in 80s such a terrific film. Unbelievable
MJ is immortal, he will probably still be revered decades or even hundreds of years from now( if we last that long), like a DaVinci. Artistic genius at the highest level.
@@Chessbox09he will be remembered forever
@chessbox Millions of years from now when humans are living in every corner of this galaxy and in other galaxies, they will still remember the King of Pop.
MJ - Michael Jackson
You are evergreen
You are the King of Pop Music till the Moon and Sun exists.
With his death, world pop ended. He was the icon of the 80s and 90s. There will be no one like him.
HAPPY 60TH BIRTHDAY THIS YEAR MICHEAL!!!!!
Mimi S It’s next year BITCH
@@iloveyourmom6970 HAHAH UR PPSTED THIS 3 SECONDS AGO
Happy 61st Birthday King!! We love youuu to infinity to beyond!!! 💕🤩

هلا احيكي من مصر😊😍
आपके हनुमान जी He was born in August 29,1958 so the last year he was 60 and that explains the diamond celebration last year 💕
आपके हनुमान जी get your maths right
@आपके हनुमान जी you wrong
True Greatness always endure ! The KING OF POP is unique forever. We LOVE YOU, Michael ❤
There will never be another Micheal
still the best music video of all time
ABSOLUTELY ❤
Fax’s
Has to be no 1 of all in the world
Yes indeed 🙂
How
Everyone on the cinema: *Screaming loudly*
Michael Jackson: **eats pop corn and smiles**
Kulou Orochi I don’t think I’ve seen many horror movies where people scream like that...more like short shrieks and yelps, usually followed by self-conscious giggling.
It's a better representation of the "this is fine" comic
@Kulou Orochi AND CHEWS THAT POPCORN WITH HIS MOUTH OPEN!!! We used to get hit upside the head for bad manners like that. 50 years ago my "Mamma don't play" if we be "acting a fool."
love this moment
And then a meme was born
I just wanna say how before it's time was this video. It's 40 years old and still one of the best music videos ever made. It just goes to show, what megastar Michael was. But this phenomenon at the time was something you had to experience for yourself.. Everybody knew Michael Jackson's Thriller, Old, young, black, white, women, men... There's still generations dancing to this on Tiktok and more to come.. Michael will live forever through his music.. Michael is a part of my soul, I've been a fan since I was 9 years old and i'm now 54..
No doubt man was a genius❤❤🎉🎉

Well i dont blame him, why will he get scared watching himself😂😂😂
If I was a MJ, I do same 😂
@@MKaur.Perhaps the plot of the video is about a girl's dream or nightmare that she has with her boyfriend Michael, where she comes off as the victim.
MJ is immortal, he'll always live in our hearts!
Fantastic
And in the nightmares of his victims
@@resinfingers3896 If it was real yes bit basically thats fake

Legends may physically pass, but legacies never do, legacies are immortal :)
Masterpiece!!! Thanks Michael ♥♥♥
No doubt. Still the best video of all time.
It just wouldn't be Halloween without watching this.

The King of Pop
true
Agreed

Not just king of pop, he was also a magician. Did you see his change of skin? Like, how the f?
Hell yeah lol. I also love SCYTHE by Nate setto, you should look up his video its a really good Halloween song 🎃
Showed this to my kids for the first time, they were mesmerized lol
Keeping Michael's memory alive with the next generation!
Of course. I danced to this when I was 3 in 1983. You can't help it @8:27
It's one of the best beats ever, if not the best

Smooth Criminal
"The way you make me feel"
Most any of his other songs.
the dance break is boring
@@emzzzzzzzzzz you think? Why?
My prediction is by the end of this year Thriller and smooth crimal will be 1 billion.
Not really a tough prediction
The greatest music video ever made
R.I.P Michael Jackson, 11 years ago today, He is gone but he will not be Forgotten

The most popular song in human history and the first song I could recollect as a human being I remember running to my mom when this came on
I love how the music in the video is played in a different order to tell a story. This video will never be matched. Ever.
Stop asking who's still listening in 2020, we never stopped listening
honestly lmfaooo
Yes Homer you’re right

I got nightmares from it
Agreed to that!
Exactly 😣
The best video clip of all time! Michael Jackson King of the pop! Greetings from Brazil 🇧🇷👍
Nostalgia for this song and music video takes me back to the greatest music video by the greatest artist in the world MJ
This song, the excellent werewolf transformation effects, the zombie make up and dance moves: This is iconic and epic.
With the help of Vincent Price! Happy
I remember having this on video tape when I was younger it was classed as a short movie watched it nearly every weekend growing up my dad didn’t let me watch it until I was about 6 and that was in 1990 so it had already been out for 8 years and people were still talking about it like it was brand new
WILLIE DOWELL. 👻 👽 😍
Scary🎃🎃🎃
It's NOT a Werewolf it's a WereCAT, they felt Michael's movements and aesthetic are more feline-like than canine-like, so they made him a Werecat. I am pretty sure John Landis already confirmed this.
Who else thinks this is still the best Halloween song????
Edit: Thanks for 3k likes :)
Haley Brown this song personified Halloween since it's release in 1983. I was in kindergarten and remember getting scared by it

You know you did something right when your song is played every fricking Halloween.
No not every Halloween does people play this
Mr.totally.obvious. ; most of the time they do....😶
I play it every Halloween in his memory. So yea it is played every Halloween
Halloween music !!!!!!!
I don’t just play this on Halloween it’s a good song to play whenever you feel like dancing or reliving the awesomeness of the 1980’s
Every musical culture barrier was broken by this man. Let that sink in.
Mr. Sing, I agree with you the decency barrier was broken when he settled the child molestation claim for 19 million dollars.
@@andrewtorres7272 His insurance paid a neglect charge. There was absolutely no admission of guilt. He was investigated by the FBI for 13 years. They bugged him, recorded him across the globe, searched his private documents and business dealings across the globe. They found NOTHING.
