Some Exclusive Information on Michael Jackson's Thriller
The song was originally written as a ballad. Michael Jackson and producer Quincy Jones originally wanted "Thriller" to be a slow ballad, but Jackson changed his mind after he came up with the idea for the iconic zombie dance sequence.
The song features a unique recording technique. In order to create the eerie sound of the zombies, Jackson and Jones recorded the backing vocals in a Westlake shower room.
The song's music video was the most expensive ever made at the time. The video, which was directed by John Landis, cost $500,000 to produce, which was a huge sum of money for a music video in 1983.
