It’s close to midnight and something evil’s lurking in 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 the eyes
Taken from the astonishingly successful song Thriller by Michael Jackson, from the album of the same name (1983), which is still the bestselling album of all time. Later voted the most influential music video of all time, it highlighted the possibilities available in the exciting new medium of the music video.

I bought this album a long time ago 🙂 Michael was a great talent!
Each of the seven songs released off the album was at least a Top 10 hit. It really was a phenomenal album, and so important in the history of black artists.
Such an awesome video! 🙂
He did so many great ones. Trying to think of the most random reference to it. Have you seen 13 going on 30?

Thanks for the reblog 🙂
Alex, I live by Ohio Wesleyan University campus and was thrilled by a street performance of zombies getting out of a limo, with a stereo playing “Thriller!” I was so happy my 4 grandkids with son and daughter in law were also witnesses to this street performance. We were all trying to capture it on our cell phones! 🙂 I ♡love this song, Alex!
That sounds amazing 🙂 Do you get many young children knocking on your door for Halloween? How scary were their costumes?
When I was in high school one of our more random activities was competitive class dances. One year my class danced to Thriller. I still remember some of the moves even thought I was a disaster area on the stage!
Amazing. I wish I’d been involved in something similar. So many have https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMnk7lh9M3o
