All the 'Thriller' Freaks Come Out at Night: The 5 Best Video Tributes

It’s been almost 33 years years since Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” first hit the airwaves, forever changing our expectations of what a music video could be. It cost a record-setting $500,000, sold more than 9 million units (yes, people used to actually buy music videos), won big at both the Grammys and MTV Video Music Awards, and is now a Halloween classic. John Landis of Animal House and Blues Brothers fame directed, and movie legend Vincent Price reprised his spooky voice mojo from the album.
