Michael Jackson: Thriller (1983 Music Video)
10/10
A thrill of a music video!
13 September 2012
Thriller has always been a treasure. I have always liked Michael Jackson's music and I am a huge Vincent Price fan, so Thriller seemed like a perfect combination. And for a music video or anything even, it is a classic. It looks wonderfully spooky and Gothic, and while corny the dialogue is also fun. The story likewise, especially when they take a shortcut through a graveyard. The dancing has Jackson written all over it, the epitome of coolness, and the dancing vampires and werewolf are deliciously macabre. Jackson is in a role that plays to his strengths, and Ola Ray is alluring. But I remember Thriller for primarily two things. Vincent Price is charismatic and deliciously smarmy, his delivery of his "rap" is brilliant. Even better is the song, nearly twenty years later(though it was 13 since I first heard it) it is still catchy and has endless replay value. All in all, a thrilling classic, if only music videos in general were as good as this. 10/10 Bethany Cox
