Halloween Thriller
June 27th, 2009 by John WolfeIf you were a child of the 80’s (and especially if you loved Halloween or horror), no doubt, Michael Jackson’s Thriller had an enormous impact on you. Anytime I hear the title track from the album, I’m immediately taken back to Friday night skating parties at our local roller rink: the smell of greasy pizza, the sound of Donkey Kong Jr devouring quarters, and MJ and his zombies dancing it out on the big projection screen at the end of the rink.
In honor of Michael and the influence both he and Vincent Price had on me through that song, here’s a great rendition I found on You Tube. It features college students performing the Thriller Dance at their 2007 Halloween Ball.

Wow! That was really great–they actually seemed undead.

Thanks for checking out my post. I agree, the one directly in front of the camera especially did a great job!
