Lyrics
|
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, You're Paralyzed You Hear The Door Slam, And Realize There's Nowhere Left To Run. You Feel The Cold Hold, And Wonder If You'll Ever See The Sun You Close Your Eyes, And Hope That This Is Just Imagination, girl But All The While, You Hear The Creature Creepin' Up Behind You're Out Of Time They're Out to Get You, There's Demons Closing In On Every Side. They Will Possess You, Unless You Change The Number On Your Dial. Now Is the Time for You and I to Cuddle Close Together dear. ... |

User's rating: 10/10 In my opinion not the best video Michael ever did (=8 points), but I add another two points for effort, concept and length (8+2=10). Thumbs up for this one. Rest in peace Michael, greatest entertainer of the last and maybe the next millenium. |

User's rating: 8/10 I loved the clip and the song is great to dance to at any party... But all i really want to know is what do the lyrics actually mean. I had to research the song 4 an assignment one time and found that the song was originally called 'starlight love' and was about how love is thrilling during the night but then before releasing it Michael changed it to a horror song. So i'm still confused on the meaning??? |

User's rating: 10/10 This is the greatest music video of all time! No doubt about it. Even though it is old, it is still the best. No one can top the King of Pop. Oh yeah, and the choregraphy(as you say it is) is NOT by Paula Abdul. |

I recently viewed the video when the credits roll and three guys break dance or something then a zombie man looks into the camera and then fade out/end of song. Who is the zombie supposed to be? Vincent Price? I know its retro, I dunno...does anyone? |

i love this music video. i remember when i was little this was always on tv and i'd go crazy and start crying because i thought it was so scary. ofcourse i never appreciated it, but its such a good song, and a good music video, and such good dancing. i love michael jackson's music and dancing..its such a shame of what happened to him..anyway, this movie is awesome, they dont make it like this anymore. |

I think that the Thriller music video is scary in the sence that there are scary things in it. I get scared of alot of things. But the dancing. . .wow! I totally wish I knew the moves. I think I will study it just to learn them, not that they will EVER be as good as MJ's |

Great! GREAT! Amazing video. Proabaly the longest I've ever seen. I've always been a Jackson fan but I just LOVE his Thriller album. I especially like "Thriller" and "Beat It" but back to the video. This video is very different than others, 33% is acting, 33% is dancing and 33% is singing. It clocks in at about 12 minutes, and those 12 minutes are all entertaining. There's really an actual story to the video and here's how it goes: A "High-school" Michael walks out the car with a girl that is his girlfriend. They seem to be teens of the 60s due to their clothes. They both say they love each other, etc. but Michael says he's different. The girlfriend says she knows but with a look of the full moon, Michael turns into a hideous wair wolf. After chasing the girl down, he manages to corner her, and starts to kill her. We cut to a movie theater where the REAL michael is sitting with his REAL girlfriend (not real life girlfriend). The girlfriend says she's afraid while Michael says he likes it. The girl leaves and Michael follows after a moment of hesitation. The music cues as we zoom out to the Movie Theater where the two were standing. They talk and they start to walk away. Michael, who is feeling bad, starts to sing all the verses of "Thriller" except the chorus. As they walk down the street, the girl starts to cheer up because of Michael's kindness and funky song. But as they pass the grave yard, a devilish voice is heard, reciting a chant. Suddenly, zombies surface from all over, and start to track down the two. After a bit, they find the two and surround them. They both look around nervously. The girl looks around but when he looks at Michael, he has turned into a ZOMBIE! The zombies then get into a formation behind the new zombified Michael as they begin a very long dance. They all walk down the street, their backs to the camera. Suddenly they turn around and the normal michael starts to sing only the Chorus of Thriller. After much singing, they cut to the Girlfriend runing to the sanctuary of a run-down house. From anger, Michael becomes a zombie and th zombie's close on her. She runs into the house but they all approach her eventually.Michael then puts his hand on her, and she screams. But... She opesn her eyes, everything is normal. Michael is not a zombie, the other zombies were gone. The house was good looking and well lit. Michael then says he'll drive her home and turns to the camera, his eyes devilish, a sinister laugh roaring, the credits roll. It's very good. So here's the main review: Background music: 9/10 It's very basic but it fits. It's kinda jazzy/funky mix but I'm happy with it. Singing: 10/10 VERY good. Of course coming from Michael, everything is. I love the words to this song and he sings very strongly in this song. Definately the high point of the video. Dancing: 10/10. The dancing is very unique but what are you expecting from zombies?? Heh. Pretty dang good I like the main dance when they have their fingers tightened \and raise their hands on one side of their head and then the other. Still, Michael looked very evil when he did the dance. Acting 9.5/10 Very very good. Better than some movies. The girlfriend was ver y frightened wich was good. And the zombies were...stupid. Still, Michael loked kinda strange when he was a zombie, not very clear. Did you see his expression the first time he turned into a zombie, he looked as though he was getting used to something uncomfortable. Overall 10/10. Go out and get this video right away!!! |

He is just amazing i love him.He's the best ever dancer and overall performer.I hate it when people call him a freak because what kind of freak could come up with such amazing song lyrics and dance moves.You can see his passion for what he does when he's performing.He really is THE BEST. |
