Michael Jackson - Thriller REACTION! THE GREATEST HALLOWEEN SONG OF ALL TIME

[@windyfranks8428]

How the hell did Michael Jackson manage to live and die without ever getting a Nobel Peace Prize for uniting the country through his music? It doesn’t matter what race or age you are. Michael Jackson played a role in making your life a little bit better.

[@windyfranks8428]

Rafael Ahmed definitely the world. He was a great artist.

[@leonardlarrisey1040]

Maybe he could visit Obama's

[@hardcorecasual6608]

I'd say uniting the world but hell yeah. 👏🏾👍🏾

[@joelg5358]

@M T okay my mistake. What is it that you call someone who has sex and performs other lewd acts on children? What about Wade Robson and James Safechuck? Hell what about Evan Chandler's son! That case was definitely settled out of court. Michael just paid his way out of getting any charges filed on him for pedophilia!

Not just the greatest Halloween song of all time. This is, hands down, the greatest music video of all time.

[@stormangelus6638]

Mr. Price in the skit "The Tell-Tale Heart." OMG I miss him! Dying on the set of Edward Scissorhands was just the way he'd have wanted to go, I think - doing what he loved. He was a national treasure.

[@janetlieb2507]

Me too!! ❤❤🦇🦉

[@kimberlyk2573]

Michael Jackson always changed music and music videos with every song he wrote. This is one of his most memorable one. Vincent Price was the king of horror with his voice and Michael is the king of pop--such a great combo.

[@ThexTraveler]

My boy said “Hang them clothes up! ”, “They dry!” I hollered 😂

[@GottaGoBlast]

I was nowhere close to being around when thriller came out; but I still grew up with Michael's music because he's my mom's favorite singer of all time.

[@shygaluk]

When I was a kid I used to hide when thriller came on, it scared the crap out of me.

[@omarslayz]

[@ssshadowwolf6762]

Michael changed music videos forever. He was a once in an “every few ERAs” all around entertainer. Class of his own but he changed the platform . Genius!

[@Sissysuez]

Perfect example of just how bad ass Micheal Jackson really was what an icon. Gone too soon!!!!!

[@dawnietheheartie3276]

I loved the Thriller album when it came out, and it still ranks as one of my favorite MJ albums ever. But whenever I watch this video, it takes me back to summer camp when I was a kid. One of our counselors had the "Making of" on VHS, followed by the actual video, and she would play it for us at the end of the day while we were waiting for our parents to come pick us up. It the most attentive they could get all us kids to be all damn day. We all loved Michael, and we all loved Thriller. The 80's was a great time to be a kid

[@christiekraczek6522]

If she would have ran when they started dancing, she would have probably made it home lol

I like that Rockwell song “somebody’s watching me” to play during Halloween, that MJ sings the chorus on

Thanks Billy, loved this, I was in grade 8 and loved Michael got to see him and his Brothers on the Victory tour , so many memories

[@lynnbarns8051]

The WHOLE skating rink would shut down and they would play this.

[@alexakl6445]

I totally agree with you on several points. The girl was just not all that bright. Like all the screaming (and not running away in the beginning). It's like, "Would you RUN! Stop screaming and run!" And then looking behind her while she's running, so of course she falls. And then later, like you said, running into the creepy house with all of them following her instead of hiding in the woods somewhere lol But anyway, this came out when I was 19 (like their age) and it was always such a big event on TV when they aired one of his videos and this one blew us all away. The dancing, the make-up, the music - phenomenal!

[@matthewdrake4385]

I was like 5 when it came out. Back when MTV showed real music and amazing music videos.

[@nathan.brazil780]

01:50 Ola Ray. She was a very beautiful young woman. At the time this was the most expensive video ever produced and was considered a short movie. The only person that could come close to MJ in music ability was Prince IMHO.

[@elisefincher4478]

Mj just was a pure musical genius and set the standard for music videos with thriller. The etfects and makeup were amazing and to add the king of horror vincent price to narrate was the cherry on top of it.

[@ShinKyuubi]

It's thanks to this song I don't consider it Halloween time without hearing a Vincent Price cackle at least 5 times in the month and 1 for certain on Halloween itself.

[@andreadeamon6419]

The theater scene with the popcorn - the white guy in front of him wearing black with the dark hair - Marlon Brando's son. Also the first one that came running out to him when his hair caught fire during the Pepsi commercial. Jackie Kennedy and Fred Estair were there during the dancing scenes watching. Love checking out info on Michael ♥️

To me, this video was the height of Michael's career. It was before all the bad press and bad actions and settled lawsuits. Videos were super important because MTV was actually about playing music. This song and video are iconic.

I was 12 when this came out and the making of Thriller VHS or Beta was the biggest thing outside the jacket. Everyone and I mean everyone in school doing this neck popping and locking routine. I know this may be hard to believe now but we had to wait up until midnight WITH our parents to watch MJ videos. He was groundbreaking for people of color because outside of Dier Straights and Billy Idol there were no people of color music videos.

My favorite Michael Jackson song/ video/ and album. I grew up with it, Jackson 5, and all his music. But this was my favorite. I was born in 87, btw. I was a toddler when I first saw this music video and instantly loved it. A few years ago, I got to see the house where they filmed the end of the video.
