ALL of the cool kids memorized the dance!
CLASSIC!
It is impossible to explain how popular this video was when it came out - everyone went BONKERS, and MTV would regularly announce when the next airing would be so everyone could plan to watch it.
My 5th grade music teacher brought the tv into our classroom so we could all watch it for the first time! It was a moment I will never forget
i was gonna comment on the exact same thing... this was a fucken event when it came on MUCH MUSIC in canada! changed the way music videos were shot
@@christielysdale1815
that’s super cool - what a memory 😎
@@christielysdale1815I had the same experience except I was in the 6th grade. Such a core memory, as today’s kids would say!
@@dcg4mn It was! Especially because I was and still am a HUGE Michael Jackson fan. He was my first fan crush 😻
The Dance Routine in this video is phenomenal. None video will ever surpass this. Fantastic 👏👏👏
... this was THE event when it premiered, we had watch parties while we waited for MTv's first showing
I remember when it premiered on Friday Night Videos. It was a huge party. Such a fun memory! There’s a Making of Thriller that was really cool too. Behind the scenes with the make up and choreography was really cool.
I was 23, 1 year younger than MJ. when this was shown on MTV...My sister and I were glued to the tv along with millions of others that MOMENT.! And lets here it for those AWSOME DANCERS! There will never be another Michael Jackson.
Me too. Same age as well. I remember exactly where I was and who I was with like it was yesterday.
Cannot believe its been 41 years ago! I had just started my new job in a large hospital, and just retired from there 4 months ago. Time does fly. We sure were lucky to be young and experience the awsome 80s! @@laurakali6522
This video actually had a planned and promoted primetime "premiere" on MTV at a scheduled date and time, 8:00pm on a Friday or Saturday night, don't remember which. Everyone was waiting for it and watching it. So exciting! And the special effects look old school now but they were cutting edge at the time, 1980 when American Werewolf in London came out was only 3 years earlier.
I was in middle school when this video came out, and it was such a significant and exciting cultural event that one of our teachers let us watch the entire video from start to finish. It was especially thrilling for me because my family didn’t have a tv.
The Making of Thriller is an incredible 30 minute behind the scenes video. Its free on you tube. I dont think anyone has ever reacted to it and i have no idea why. Especially when everyone is so into movie making nowadays. Its so cool
I was 5 when this came out and was terrified but it introduced me to the amazing and talented MJ. I have always been hooked as a fan. RIP 🪦 legend
Yep. Best video ever! I'm 68 and still know all the moves, lol.
Glad you enjoyed it. 😊
59, and same
Back in the day, everyone wanted to learn that dance! My friends and I would dance along to the video every time it came on!!
Michael's dancing idol was none other than the great Gene Kelly. Knowing this, you can see bits of his style in Michael's. Gene was the goat of dancing.
Even down to wearing Penny loafers to dance in, which Gene often wore in his dance routines on film.
And Fred Astaire paid a great compliment to Jackson ♥️
I remember going into dept stores and the video would be showing in all the tv sets and many people would gather around to watch the video. It was massive. This was a once in a lifetime event and glad I got to live it. R.I.P. Michael
Lets get the party rolling
I remember this video coming out like it was yesterday. I was 7 years old. When it premiered, we taped it on VHS and played it on repeat.
I think I was also 7 and it was a huge deal. I think I remember people looking forward to it coming out.
This totally rocked the mid 80s...so frickin' huge, so frickin' great
this song (and album) ruled our lives in the 1980s.
Michael was impressed by the make up and special effects in "American Werewolf in London" (a great movie by the way) and they used the same people for Thriller.
Michael's talent and artistry were unmatched. This came out shortly after MTV started broadcasting. It was mind blowing!❤
The premiere of this video was such a HUGE DEAL in December 1983. MTV promoted the debut relentlessly, but it was happening at NOON in L.A. - and I was still senior in high school. It was simply unacceptable that other people could see it before my friends and me because of a quirk of geography, so I (working second period in the attendance office) arranged for three of us to be excused from school early that day. One of my older brother's friends picked us up and we were front and center at my house when "Thriller" aired the first time. It didn't disappoint (I'd been a huge MJ fan my whole life; saw him in concert the first time at 4 years old and many more times after that. I even got to spend 5 days at Neverland in 2002 and see him be a regular dad, but that's a story for another post lol). Things got a little funny later that premiere day when I had to pretend that I was seeing the video for the first time as my mother was right next to me at 4pm. For whatever it's worth, I did eventually confess to my parents about all of my nefarious truancy shenanigans in high school - on the day I graduated from college (with honors) 😁.
Rod Temperton was a white guy from England and he wrote so many songs for Michael Jackson. My English teacher recorded this on the first showing in the U.K. and brought it into school to show us. We loved it.
🌸 it cracks me up every time at the beginning of the video that she just stands there and screams she doesn't try to run or anything
exactly like cheesy horror movies 😆
I can't describe how big Michael Jackson and Thriller (the whole album) were.
Before this album, Michael Jackson had the Off the Wall album back in 1979, and that was cool. Rock with you and, Don't stop til you get enough. If you get a chance, you should listen to that album.
l was 12 when the Thriller album came out, and the video hit. It was something to see. We were all in awe of it. This album put him over the top of being the King of POP.
Off The Wall has so many great disco influenced tracks.
Waaaaay back in the day, my mother worked for one of the first video rental places in our area, just a little Mom and Pop style kiosk in our local mall. We rented a VHS player (yes, you could rent them back then) and some videos. This was the very first VHS I ever watched, and it included a 'making of' documentary. I spent a lot of time at that kiosk, looking at all the boxes for all the horror movies my parents would not let me watch. Looking back, their criteria was a little wac-a-doodle, as John Carpenter's The Thing was right out, but dragging a single-digit aged me to a midnight showing of Friday the 13th or Alien was just fine, apparently.
🌸 the makeup artists did an amazing job
OMG. I can't wait to see your reaction!! This is FABULOUS! SO cool. The dance is great. It's been way too long since I saw this. Thanks for your reaction!
I feel like I haven’t seen the whole video in 40 years. It’s better than I remembered!
There was a party scene in the movie 13 Going on 30 where they recreate the dance.
I saw this the night it premiered. It was on a show called Friday Night Videos (which aired from 1983 to 2002 on NBC). I recorded it on a VHS (yes, I’m that old), I still have it 😂
What a blast from the past! I don’t think I’ve seen this video since the 80‘s. I almost forgot how great it was. It was an event when this came out.
The best music video of all time ❤
Man I *memorized* this video when I was a kid - and got in trouble for playing it ( I recorded it) (pushing the play and record buttons myself) of this for my younger sisters - it is impossible to explain what a big deal this was when it came out, just huge.An early 80s time capsule. Thanks!
I still have the VHS tape they put out "The Making Of Thriller"....shows all what went into it's creation and then has the whole video at the end.
Iconic
🤛😎👍
🔥🌳🌬️💨
The basic beat really is badass. Hard.
Can't begin to tell you how much Thriller impacted the world. I mean he was a superstar before it, but then that all changed after Motown25. Man...MJ was that dude. Trust me. Also forget the 70 million wiki figure it's completely and utterly wrong. It was 70 million in early 90s when I was in high school. It's 120+ now
A friend of mine was one of the zombie dancers.
Awsome! Doing well I hope.
@@johnfranklin5277 many were Broadway dancers. I think that’s how he got the gig.
Another homage was done by Dennis Franz in The Chicks video of "Good bye Earl" at the end when he was a zombie.
No living person can believe you haven't heard this song.
No computers in 1983 for special effects or CGI like in Star Wars but exceptional theatre and scene, light work is phenomenal as in every excelent movie in the past, they did it real not on a computer.
I am so sad I wasn’t able to be alive to see how this video and this entire era had a chockhold on the global pop culture.
Michael Jackson's "Ghosts" is a really good video as well. It is long, but definitely worth a watch. And fun for October, too.
Still the best video ever
God, that man could move!!
I remember being 4 years old when I saw this premier on Irish tv, and was well into my 30s before I could watch it in the dark without terrifying PTSD
Yes many images in all kinds of movies and tv are too disturbing for so young
I was 23 in a club in England UK the first airing ever for the world to see ...amazing
must’ve been great! 😄
@@dcg4mn yes it was xxx
I was 4 years old in 1984 and this song/video was my entire world. My babysitter and I used to act and dance it out. This entire musical production is interwoven with my entire musical identity as an adult. I love how it still looks and sounds so beautiful. Thanks for the revisit. ❤
I was 1975. Nope cappage kids
I was 1975. Nope cappage kids
I would really love for you to react to his Ghost video! It's so good!
🌹In answer to your query, Salvo, yes that is weird...😂🤣💋
This was during the height of cheesy 80s horror movies. We loved it! I owned two of the regular album, and one picture disk. The minute that music started, it took me right back to being 12 lol. Wow, I still remember Vincent Prices part 😅
You youngsters never heard Thriller.
You're somewhat correct. Watch Alice Cooper's , Welcome to my Nightmare. Came out in 1975.
i skipped school to stay home and watch this when it came out on mtv
Yipppeee!!! Love this video!!🎶🎼🎵
I am glad you recognized the "eyes" with Weird Al's, Eat It video spoof. George Lucus is known for the Star Wars films. I never did find if Weird Al did a spoof of Thriller. That would have been a production. When you watch Weird Al's Eat It and Fat and look how close the chorography to Jackson's Beat It and Bad videos. I have seen the video with the side by side of Jackson's original video and Weird Al's version. I read, Jackson agreed to Weird Al's doing his spoofs and Jackson helped with the video to make it as close to the original, especially the Fat video's location.
Rod Temperton needs a little credit for writing the song.
Ahh the 80s... the golden age of horror... both real and fake. The real was horrific in the worst ways possible but the fake was testament to human creativity/passion. This song was a celebration of all things fun movie horror in the 80s. Perfect for date nights to a scary movie! 😎🎃🧙♀🧹👻👹🧟♂🧟♀🧛♂🦇
🌸 during the week of Halloween all across the United States different communities will do a flash mob to this song
would love to see that
I had the MJ Thriller doll!
Back when MTV was still worthwhile.
HaHa, Salvo, weird Al is great! 🤣
And of course, Vincent Price did that evil narration. He was the GOAT of horror old school movie actors...the laugh at the end was just bloodcurdling.
You still haven't heard the song, cuz the whole song isn't played/ sung, in this video. Now you've seen the video, you have to listen to just the audio of the song.
✨♥️✨
Shout out to Ola Ray - IMO she was done so wrong in the photo scandal. But that's the 80's - Look at Vanessa Williams.
Please react to Michael Jackson the making of thriller
The best part of the song is Vincent Price.
100%
Yankovic, not Yankovich.
Not at all. Most people typically sing Eat It instead of Beat It
Yeah that’s why you NEVER listen to Weird Al stupid jokes making money off others’ genius 🤨
But YES Jackson releasing a new music video was a global EVENT sometimes even on the evening news.
He exploded open the music video genre spending many times more than anyone else and using cinematic equipment, talent and techniques.
Other music videos were mostly stupid cuts of a band playing and lots of babes 🙄😆
A few others soon caught on (like Peter Gabriel) but Jackson basically invented it.
