Must stand and face the hounds of hell And rot inside a corpse´s shellThe foulest stench is in the airThe funk of forty thousand yearsAnd grisly ghouls from every tomb

Are closing in to seal your doomAnd though you fight to stay aliveYour body starts to shiverFor no mere mortal can resistThe evil of the thriller

INFO: There was a time many moons ago when Michael Jackson was hot! The anticipation around his Thriller video was like no music video before and was undoubtedly instrumental in the development of the

music video story that is so common today. It has actually been chosen as the Best Music Video of the century. At the time it was the most expensive video ever made, and its premiere was touted much like the release of a new Hollywood blockbuster. And it is in fact a mini-movie.
