Lunch Break: Michael Jackson’s Thriller
To give us a break from the daily grind…
MJ was WAY ahead of his time with these fabulous special effects for music videos. Believe it or not, this video is almost 30 years old! Warning: please use discretion if you have young children.

This video IS 20 years old -in fact -it’s 24 years old.
Michael!
I know Michael turned creepy at the end of his life but man…I LOVE Thriller! We danced to all MJ’s greatest hits at my October wedding… especially remember Thriller. This always makes me smile with happy memories.
Happy Anniversary, Sydney!
When were you married?
Thanks Vannah! My husband and I tied the knot 10/23/2004 and my son was born 10/24/2006. And my husband proposed 10/25/2002 so the end of October is jam-packed full of great memories for me!
Actually, it’s 26 years old! Filmed in 1984. ^_^

I love Michael, and I love Thriller! Thanks so much for posting! Makes me happy!
If you’d like to learn more about who Michael really was, as opposed to the gossipy, media trash most of us are more aware of – visit http://www.reflectionsonthedance.com
I am so going to learn this dance. Every time I watch it, I want to join in! So fun!
Thanks for bringing the typo to my attention. I’ve changed it in the intro. (The years are REALLY flying by!) LL
used to love michael’s music until his plastic surgery made him a ‘white’ guy, like he was embarrassed about his heritage.
always liked Thriller (well, not really anymore) but the end always freaked me out. I was around 5 when this video came out.
