Any child of the 80s had nightmares after watching this. The creativity behind it is amazing. Vincent Price has the eeriest voice ever, then you get 3x verses at the beginning leaving 3x chorus at the end so MJ can show off his moves. MJ is one of the very very few artists where 1. No one can really sing/cover his songs and 2. People may be able to dance like him but no one is better than him. All his choreography in all his short films are unique to him only. Lots can do thriller dance, but not as good as him...never. Also the zombies actually stand up well visually to today's standards imo too. Such a timeless song as it's so good people remembering MJ every year.
We had a gathering of friends when this premiered on December 2, 1983, on MTV. It was an amazing production, the best video ever. My kids were 11 and 7 at the time and they went nuts. We stopped and watched it every time it aired. I think this was the best video that Michael ever did. Then Vincent Price at the end was the cherry on the cake. I love Vincent's laugh.
He did one a few years later for TV that was Halloween based. He actually did the old man that tried to run the ghosts out of the old house. Choreography was just so super in all of Michael's videos! Vincent Price has the voice that just added the finishing touch. Wonderful actor, too.
I will never forget watching the premiere of this video on MTV. I must’ve been about 5 y/o and my mom let me stay up late just to watch. I even had a brand new Michael Jackson doll complete with the red jacket and sparkly glove. It was probably a lot for a little kid-I remember being scared by this video, but I’m glad now that she let me stay up to watch! Also, I’m sure people have mentioned, but Janet was one of the zombie dancers in this. Speaking of Janet Jackson, she’s definitely one to check out. “The Pleasure Principle,” or “Rhythm Nation.”
😂🤣 omg AB! First time ever - I'm going to have to go back and watch that all again - several times! There is NO WAY I managed to see more than a quarter of this epic reaction!! What to watch?? The video? You dancing? You talking back to the characters? You singing along? Your face?!? And that was in between screaming with laughter at the whole thing. Yep. Saw maybe 25%. Right. Let's try that again, shall we? I'll be ready for you this time through....😈
Awesome reaction as always AB! Anything by MJ is good with me! Even ABC when he was a young boy is awesome. By the way I could watch you chair dance all day! 👏👏👏😂😁
John Landis never directed a video b4. He only had done movies. Which is what Michael wanted. & No musician had ever done that B4. Michael revealed all of the details w his exclusive interview w Oprah. It was awesome. Can u add smooth criminal to list plz?
When my kids were little they would play this on Nickelodeon and the Disney channel for the whole month of October, one day when my son was around 4 years old I walked into the living room and he was staring at the TV doing the zombie dance along with the video, he didn't miss a single step!
Ok break out the home movies from when you were a kid! I know there has to be one of Little AB doing the choreographed dance to this song while in your footed Jammie’s, dinking 🍊 juice 🧃!
One of the best songs & best videos ever! Check out Glee version Thriller/Off with Her Head at the football game. Vincent Price voices the monologue at the end of the song & it gives me chills! One the best voices of creepy, also I grew up in Tombstone with Vincent voicing the story of the Shoot Out at the O.K. Corral Btw I can still do this dance step for step
If you want more Halloween themed videos I'd like to see you react to Slipknot - Devil in I or Falling In Reverse - Popular Monster. Or just any of their videos honestly.
Thank you for this one! It's been years since seeing this video... it was a movie in itself. I remember the year this album lived in my cassette player! Have you listened to any Air Supply?
Vincent Price is one of my FAVS! Seeing him still doing movies like Edward Scissorhands, was amazing. Check him out in "The Fly" and "Dr. Phibes" 😀 LOVE you busting your moves for this review! Thanks AB! 😊 🫂

I also really enjoyed, and I was 12 at the time, the making of Thriller.
Michael Jackson Legendary Musicality👑👑👑
I was in 6th grade when this came out and every time it was shown on Mtv we would call all of our friends to watch it!
He did one a few years later for TV that was Halloween based. He actually did the old man that tried to run the ghosts out of the old house. Choreography was just so super in all of Michael's videos! Vincent Price has the voice that just added the finishing touch. Wonderful actor, too.
You can’t go wrong with MJ and the combo of MJ & AB was total OJ!! 🕺🏼❤️🔥
You got the moves, AB!! You’re appreciative of Quincy Jones’ great arrangement and production, too!

I was allowed to stay up to watch this at midnight. I learned the whole dance video. 😊
Great to see this again after so long. That choreography is still amazing to this day.

Awesome reaction as always AB! Anything by MJ is good with me! Even ABC when he was a young boy is awesome. By the way I could watch you chair dance all day! 👏👏👏😂😁
How about MJ'd Ghost? That was pretty awesome as well. Thanks for the reaction AB. Awesome as usual.
You are sooo much fun to watch critiquing these videos !!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Love Vincent Price, he was the King of horror movies, his voice is perfect for the narrator
American Werewolf in London was directed by the same guy, John Landis.
If that person still have that popcorn, can you say PAID!!!!!!!!!
I laughed so hard when the sound effect of the door slamming made you turn your head looking at your door! 😆
I like as much now as I did when it first came out. MJ was an amazing singer and dancer.
Man you are out of this world .So freakin funny , My belly hurts from laughing 😃 😀 😄. Love it AB..Seriously keep up the great work .
John Landis never directed a video b4. He only had done movies. Which is what Michael wanted. & No musician had ever done that B4. Michael revealed all of the details w his exclusive interview w Oprah. It was awesome. Can u add smooth criminal to list plz?
You need to make a movie. Dance sing “Just stop” Hahahahaha
Oh the Nostalgia is hitting hard with this one!
When my kids were little they would play this on Nickelodeon and the Disney channel for the whole month of October, one day when my son was around 4 years old I walked into the living room and he was staring at the TV doing the zombie dance along with the video, he didn't miss a single step!
Now you speaking my language!!! Nickelodeon raised a lot of us 90s kids lol
I live in Lexington Ky and they have a thriller parade every Halloween paying homage. If you have never watched it check out the making of this video
Think I'm going to gather the nieces and nephews and teach them this dance!
Omg!!. Loved your reaction!.
Fun fact. The transformation was inspired by the film An American werewolf in London It also has a epic transformation scene
You make my soul smile !! Thank u !! ❤️❤️🙏
Love it! And you dancing! 🕺🏿
Ok break out the home movies from when you were a kid! I know there has to be one of Little AB doing the choreographed dance to this song while in your footed Jammie’s, dinking 🍊 juice 🧃!
I love this because Vincent Price did the narration
I love mj forever
Epic MJ
Facts 🔥🔥
One of the best songs & best videos ever! Check out Glee version Thriller/Off with Her Head at the football game. Vincent Price voices the monologue at the end of the song & it gives me chills! One the best voices of creepy, also I grew up in Tombstone with Vincent voicing the story of the Shoot Out at the O.K. Corral
Btw I can still do this dance step for step
You are so damn funny!! 🤣 Much love from KY! ❤
You make me smile dude.
John Landis trademark line, See you next Wednesday
MJ GOAT in Basketball, MJ GOAT in the Music Industry.
Coincidence?
LOL You're so silly. I love it.
My oldest daughter was scared of this video. She was 2 when it came out
Have you seen his video "Ghost "
It's at this level of a song and video
React to Prince - Partyman (Extended Version) (Official Music Video)
If you want more Halloween themed videos I'd like to see you react to Slipknot - Devil in I or Falling In Reverse - Popular Monster. Or just any of their videos honestly.
They either fall or run upstairs lol
Thank you for this one! It's been years since seeing this video... it was a movie in itself. I remember the year this album lived in my cassette player!
Have you listened to any Air Supply?

Looks more like a Werecat to me.
For Veterans Day can you do Five Finger Death Punch Wrong Side of Heaven please 🥺
Ever seen the making of Thriller?
Not the GREATEST Halloween song ever, but definitely GREAT.
How about greatest Halloween dance song?
@@Kickinthescience MJ's dancing or the general public? 🤣
@@dalefleming6427 well the dance is iconic. Right behind MJ’s moonwalk. And just ahead of his Smooth Criminal lean
