(โthrillerโ is a song recorded by american singer โmichael jacksonโ, composed by โrod tempertonโ, and produced by โquincy jonesโ)
(it is the seventh and final single released by โepic recordsโ from his 1982 studio album thriller)
(a 14-minute video showing jackson in a horror-themed performance premiered on 14 november 1983)
(it was first shown on MTV on 2 december 1983)
(the song was not released as a single until 23 january 1984)
(โthrillerโ has appeared on multiple greatest hits compilation albums from jackson, including HIStory (1995), Number Ones (2003), The Essential Michael Jackson (2005) and Michael Jacksonโs This Is It (2009) and was remixed for the Immortal album in 2011)
(the song has a voice-over from actor โvincent priceโ)
(in the song, sound effects such as a creaking door, thunder, feet walking on wooden planks, winds and howling dogs can be heard, and the lyrics contain frightening themes and elements)
(โthrillerโ received positive reviews from critics and became jacksonโs seventh top-ten single on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart from the album, while reaching the top of the charts in france and belgium and the top ten in many other countries)
(โthrillerโ was adapted by director โjohn landisโ into a highly successful music video, known independently as โmichael jacksonโs thrillerโ
(at fourteen minutes the video is substantially longer than the song, which ties together a narrative featuring jackson and actress โola rayโ in a setting heavily inspired by horror films of the 1950s)
(in the videoโs most iconic scene, jackson leads other actors costumed as zombies in a choreographed dance routine)
(though it garnered some criticism for its occult theme and violent imagery, the video was immediately popular and received high critical acclaim, being nominated for six MTV Video Music Awards in 1984 and winning three)
(in 2009 it was added to the โNational Film Registryโ by the โLibrary of Congressโ, the first music video ever selected)
