Michael Jackson's Thriller album has to be the greatest MJ release. I remember that I had two copies on cassette as a kid. I wore out both of them.

I had the Making of Michael Jackson's Thriller on VHS. It was the video that showed the behind-the-scenes of the music video.

I always loved to see the dead people dance. It reminded me of the Night of the Living Dead movies. The music and makeup effects were awesome too.

Any childhood memories of this music video?

    I recorded the making of Thriller in 2000-something and I memorized the dance.

        I had it on Beta since it was the only version to get it on upon its release. Weren't you like a year old when it was released (the album I mean).

          The video was awesome back then. I like the extended version with the short intro.

          I still rock that on Saturday nights before our fright feature.

            That song was first released a full 10 years before I was even born; but this is like one of my favorite songs in the world! I wish music like this was still popular.

                i remember watching Thriller on laser disc with my two best friends when we were really little. We would be sitting at a little blue Little Tykes table eating pizza or coloring

                      The first time I watched the video I had my Micheal Jackson red jacket on and I was scared out of my mind. I seriously thought that Vincent Price (or Vincent Van Ghoul) was gonna come out somewhere when I heard his voice and was freaking out. Good times.

                            I watched the video for the first time in the early 2000s, and it's undoubtedly a classic. It's a shame that he's mutilated both his face and his reputation beyond recognition since, but Thriller, along with Off The Wall and his Jackson 5 days will always make him a legend.

                              I was very young when Thriller first came out. My parents told me, though, that when I was a baby and I would get rowdy or restless, that they'd pop in the Beta Tape of "The Making of Thriller" and it would shut me rigiht up and I'd watch it. I wonder if my father still has it. Oh, my parents had the "record" of it too! I remember that very well. I still like the Thriller album to this day. I guess you could say it's my earliest music-related memory.

                                wow, that's pretty fucked up. There are a lot of scary images in that video - too frightnening for a baby.

                                  Apparently, watching "The Making of Thriller" wasn't scary to me. My parents said that I'd watch it intensely and stuff. I guess it was interesting to me.

                                    Thats the only Michael Jackson related thing I'll watch...To me its his best song and vid ever..but I remember years after it came out,I would play vid and call my sis in the room just to scare her.
