This video/short film remains on many lists as one of, if not the greatest music video of all time and it is easy to see why. This is The King of Pop at the height of his powers before his eccentricities really took over as they have seemed to in recent years.
A cohesive storyline mixes with the music and the dance as well as a vocal cameo by horror master Vincent Price creating a story like none since. It does have its weaknesses, particularly the now dated special effects and I have always found Ola Ray's "scream queen" performance as Micheal's girlfriend more than a little annoying. But its strengths far outweigh any weaknesses and they can be put into the same category as the classic "camp" horror flicks that the video seems to be a tribute to.
Bravo Mike, and I hope you find your way back to a similar place to this once again.
