Video One ,[object Object],Written by Rod Temperton, Produced by Quincy Jones Featuring a guest soliloquy from Vincent Price. “ Thriller is an early 1984 hit single recorded by Michael Jackson for the Epic label. It reached number 4 in the U.S. singles chart and number 10 in the UK singles chart. The 14-minute video is regarded by many as the greatest music video of all-time, and the song itself is considered to be one of Jackson’s signature songs.” There is a clear relationship between the lyrics and the visuals in the music video. Even by just looking at the name of the track you can tell that the genre is gothic horror pop and we as the audience expect to see elements of this in the video. The video starts with a drama scene on Michael Jackson and his on screen girl friend walking through a grave yard after a night at the movies. The lead up to the track creates tension and atmosphere and gives added depth to the track. This is a sort extract of the lyrics to give a clear overview of the relationship between the lyrics and the visuals.

‘It's close to midnight and something evil's lurking in the dark Under the moonlight, you see a sight that almost stops your heart You try to scream but terror takes the sound before you make it You start to freeze as horror looks you right between the eyes You're paralyzed 'Cause this is thriller, thriller night And no one's gonna save you from the beast about strike You know it's thriller, thriller night You're fighting for your life inside a killer, thriller tonight’
