Thriller Music Video

First aired in 1983, the video begins with DJ (Michael Jackson) and his girlfriend (Ola Ray) cruising in his convertible down an abandoned, dark road when it suddenly rolls to a stop. Declaring that he's out of gas, they decide to walk presumably to find a gas station. Jackson stops and proposes to his girlfriend who gleefully accepts. In a solemn tone, he declares that he "isn't like other guys" as the clouds move away from the full moon.
Squirming under the moonlight, Michael crumples to the ground and emerges with alarming werewolf features: fur, sharp teeth, long nails and yellow eyes. His girlfriend screams in panic and falls to the ground as he bends over her. The shot cuts away to a movie theater, where Jackson and his girlfriend are watching the scene in a movie theater where his girlfriend leaves in frustration.
With the music starting, Jackson calms his girlfriend down outside the theater. Then the famous dance sequence begins that made the music video, and Jackson, infamous in pop culture.
