thriller

I have to confess I’m a bit embarrassed I didn’t start this weekly series with Michael Jackson’s “Thriller,” the benchmark in horror-themed videos. Hey, it’s been a long time, you know? But this mini-movie stands the test of time due to great production, scary makeup and of course, the voice of Vincent Price, may he rest in peace.

I was going to say it was groundbreaking for its time, but actually, it’s pretty damn good by today’s standards. Am I the only who watches this and wants to see a parody by the cast of “The Walking Dead?” They could call it “The Dancing Dead.”

I always wondered… why does everyone stand there and watch someone make the full werewolf transformation before they run? The second you start growing your ears or sprouting claws out of your fingers… my ass is outta there!
