On this day in 1983, the Michael Jackson video for the single “Thriller” was released (December 2)
The video directed by John Landis featured Jackson, former Playboy model Ola Ray as his girlfriend, and was narrated by horror film legend Vincent Price.
At a massive 14 minutes in length, the video featuring many classic horror movie themes, and iconic choreographed dancing zombies, was a game-changer in music video history, revolutionizing the industry.
At the 1984 MTV Video Music Awards, Thriller won the awards for Viewers Choice, Best Overall Performance and Best Choreography, and was nominated for Best Concept Video, Best Male Video and Video of the Year.
Michael Jackson's Thriller was named the "greatest video" by MTV in 1999, and by VH1 and Time in 2001.
In 2009, it became the first music video to be selected for the National Film Registry by the Library of Congress. The Library described it as "the most famous music video of all time".
