Michael Jackson - Thriller (Video Version)

14 minute short film, directed by John Landis, cost in excess of $1 million.

Premiered on MTV in the States on 2nd December 1983, and carried the following disclaimer:
Due to my strong personal convictions, I wish to stress that this film in no way endorses a belief in the occult.

Cited by Michael as the ‘most fun short film or video’ he’s ever made. "I just loved becoming a monster, because it gave me a chance to pretty much become someone else" said MJ. "It was just fun, hiding behind this mask and just really letting this part of you, your body, or your feelings out… it was just thrilling for me to do that. And the dance, and all the morphing, and all the fun things we did – it’s so memorable!".

Michael’s sister Janet reportedly appeared in the Thriller short film as a zombie.

They used to play this version on the radio in 1984 after the video premiered on MTV and it was always a treat to hear the extended video mix when they played it.

Dreszczowiec

(ang. Thriller) - rodzaj utworu sensacyjnego, powie¶ci, filmu lub serialu telewizyjnego, maj±cego wywo³aæ u czytelnika b±d¼ widza dreszcz emocji. W odró¿nieniu od horroru tajemniczo¶æ i niesamowito¶æ w thrillerze nie maj± jednak cech nadprzyrodzonych; zagro¿enie jest realne, czêsto tkwi w psychice g³ównego bohatera, tocz±cego walkê wewnêtrzn±, choæ ostatnimi czasy coraz czê¶ciej mo¿na spotkaæ siê z dzie³ami (zw³aszcza filmowymi) zawieraj±cymi w sobie mieszankê horroru jak i thrillera. W zale¿no¶ci od podgatunku fabu³a thrillera opiera siê zwykle na obronie jakiego¶ dobra - ¿ycia ludzkiego, pañstwa, spo³eczno¶ci; zaskakuj±ce rozwi±zanie akcji nastêpuje pod koniec utworu. Prekursorem thrillera w filmie by³ Alfred Hitchcock (Ptaki). W literaturze elementy thrillera pojawiaj± siê od lat 60. XX wieku (m.in. u Fredericka Forsytha, Alistaira MacLeana).
