(‘michael jackson’s thriller’ is a 13-minute horror-themed music video for the song of the same name)
(released on ‘2 december 1983’)
(directed by ‘john landis’, who also co-wrote the screenplay with ‘michael jackson’, the song was released from jackson’s sixth studio album of the same name)
(it was MTV’s first world premiere video)
(in the UK the video was aired on ‘channel 4’ late at night)
(voted as the most influential pop music video of all time, thriller proved to have a profound effect on popular culture, and was named “a watershed moment for the [music] industry” for its unprecedented merging of filmmaking and music)
(“guinness world records” listed it in 2006 as the “most successful music video”, selling over ‘9 million copies’)
(in 2009, the video was inducted into the ‘National Film Registry’ by the ‘Library of Congress’, the first music video to ever receive this honor, for being (‘culturally’ / ‘historically’ / ‘aesthetically’) significant)
(the track was also listed at number one on “The Top 10 Halloween Songs” by Billboard)
(co-starring with jackson was former Playboy centerfold “ola ray”)
(set in the 1950s)
(el jacko and his girlfriend (played by “ola ray”) run out of gas while driving in a dark wooded area)
(the video was choreographed by ‘michael peters’ (who had worked with the singer on his prior hit “beat it”), and jackson)
(the video also contains incidental music by film music composer ‘elmer bernstein’, who had previously worked with landis on An American Werewolf in London)
(the video (like the song) contains a spoken word performance by horror film veteran ‘vincent price’)
(‘rick baker’ assisted in prosthetics and makeup for the production)
(“thriller” was the third and final video for the thriller album)
(the red jacket that jackson wore was designed by landis’ wife ‘deborah landis’ to make him appear more “virile”)
(to qualify for an ‘academy award’ as a ‘short subject’, the film was shown in a theatrical screening along with the 1940 disney animated feature fantasia, in ‘december 1983’)
(however, the video failed to earn an ‘academy award nomination’)
