Clay and Amanda are hitting a major milestone with their 100th episode, and what better way to rock out than by diving into the greatest music video and spookiest zombie flick of all time—Michael Jackson’s Thriller.
Now, before you break out the leather jackets and start headbanging to Metallica, let me confess a little secret: I may be a die-hard metal fan, but deep down, I’ve got a soft spot for the King of Pop himself, Michael Jackson. That’s right, under this denim vest and Iron Maiden patches beats the heart of a Thriller fanatic.
Thriller isn’t just a music video; it’s a cultural phenomenon, a horror masterpiece that’s as iconic as Ozzy Osbourne biting the head off a bat. Clay and Amanda, the dynamic duo behind The Rotten Horror Picture Show, are celebrating this milestone by dissecting every dance move, every eerie moment, and every spine-tingling note of Thriller’s infectious beat.
As they explore the music video’s impact on pop culture and its place in the pantheon of horror, I’ll be rocking out in my bedroom, secretly practicing the moonwalk when no one’s looking. Because let’s face it, even the most hardcore metalhead can’t resist the allure of Michael Jackson’s smooth moves and infectious melodies.
