Ghost and Thriller: The Passage Of Time
10-30-2004 E 5:38 p.m.
I couldn't end my 13 Days of Halloween without including Thriller. I know it's an old song and an even cheesier music video, but it's fun for Halloween. It makes me think of Michael's latest "Halloween" song, Ghost. It's not necessarily for Halloween; I think in it he talks--or rather sings--about the Ghost of Jealousy. But, along with Thriller and the making of Ghost's music video, it was part of Michael Jackson's Halloween Crypt on VH1 or MTV a couple years ago.

He's come a long way since the 80s and Thriller. 'Course, it's the special effects, set design and costumes that have changed too. Ghost was still fantasy, but not so blantantly obvious as Thriller. Anyways, thinking back on it, it's interesting to compare the two.

Thriller
It's close to midnight and something evil's lurking in the dark
Under the moonlight you see a sight that almost stops your heart
You try to scream but terror takes the sound before you make it
You start to freeze as horror looks you right between the eyes,
You�re paralyzed

'Cause this is Thriller, Thriller Night
And no one's gonna save you from the beast about to strike
You know it's Thriller, Thriller Night
You're fighting for your life inside a killer, thriller tonight

You hear the door slam and realize there�s nowhere left to run
You feel the cold hand and wonder if you'll ever see the sun
You close your eyes and hope that this is just your imagination
But all the while you hear the creature creepin' up behind
You�re out of time

'Cause this is Thriller, Thriller Night
And no one's gonna save you from the beast about to strike
You know it's Thriller, Thriller Night
You're fighting for your life inside a killer, thriller tonight

Night creatures call
And the dead start to walk in their masquerade
There�s no escapin' the jaws of the alien this time
(They're open wide)
This is the end of your life

They're out to get you, there's demons closing in on every side
They will possess you unless you change the number on your dial
Now is the time for you and I to cuddle close together
All through the night I'll save you from the terror on the screen,
I�ll make you see

'Cause this is Thriller, Thriller Night
And no one's gonna save you from the beast about to strike
You know it's Thriller, Thriller Night
You're fighting for your life inside a killer, thriller tonight

(Rap performed by Vincent Price)
Darkness falls across the land
The midnight hour is close at hand
Creatures crawl in search of blood
To terrorize y'all's neighborhood
And whosoever shall be found
Without the soul for getting down
Must stand and face the Hounds of Hell
And rot inside a corpse's shell
The foulest stench is in the air
The funk of forty thousand years
And grizly ghouls from every tomb
Are closing in to seal your doom
And though you fight to stay alive
Your body starts to shiver
For no mere mortal can resist
The evil of the thriller

(Goes into maniacal laugh, in deep echo)

Michael Jackson

Tomorrow is O' Hallow's Eve, Samhain or Halloween. Whether you celebrate the Celtic New Year or enjoy the candy and a good spook, have a spooktacular day. Tomorrow is my last day doing this. It's been fun and somewhat educational for me. I may try to do it again next year if this is still up. Blessed Be, all and have a Happy Halloween.
