Happy 25th Anniversary Thriller

That’s right Corndoggers.  Today marks the 25th Anniversary of the release of the music video of most awesomeness, Michael Jackson’s Thriller.  The full version of the mini-movie video is almost 14 minutes long and cost over $1 million to make (way more than any other music video of its time).  It was directed by John Landis (Blues Brothers and An American Werewolf in London fame) and the make-up was done by Rick Baker (An American Werewolf in London).  In the video Michael transforms into both a zombie and a were-cat type creature.  It has been dubbed the best music video in history by numerous awards and claims and won several MTV Music Awards that year including best choreography and viewer’s choice.  The album it appears on still today remains one of the most successful in history.  On behalf of the Corndogger, thank you MJ for delivering the world this most awesomeness video 25 years ago today.  Enjoy.
