Thriller- A Michael Jackson Masterpiece

City of Halloween, South Carolina

In 1983 Michael Jackson released a 14 minute music video created as a short film.

MTV was the first to air the video on December 2, 1983.  Forty years later it is still a Halloween party favorite and the music itself is known to pack a dance floor.

The City of Halloween, (Conway) South Carolina displayed a group of Zombies with Michael Jackson as the lead to entertain the spooky city visitors.
