Where were you when Thriller became a mini-movie? 🧟
Michael Jackson’s 13-minute Thriller film turned a pop video into cinema—and later entered America’s National Film Registry.
Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” was no ordinary music video. Directed and co-written by John Landis, the 13-minute film mixed cinema, choreography and special effects—and was even released theatrically on 35mm. 🧟
In 2009, it joined the US National Film Registry. Yet the single itself peaked at Number 9 in the UK: the film became even bigger than its chart position.
