5.0 out of 5 stars The King of Reality TV, November 1, 2005

This review is from: Making Michael Jackson's Thriller [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I remember this video from when I was about 10 years old. My sister, cousins, and I would play this over and over. We knew EVERY dance step. Michael was better looking back then. We loved seeing the "quirky" moments on this video that showed his true character...I wonder if he's still the same????? It's a great video that is the ultimate of Behind the Scenes or The Making Of... type of videos. If you're interested in costume make-up or what goes into the making of videos this is a good tape. I don't listen to this type of music now, but this brings back a lot of my good childhood memories. It represents times when we were happy and songs were about simple things, not killing, fighting, and all of the crazy and obscene things that songs are being made about now.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thriller thriller thriller...., February 29, 2004

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Making Michael Jackson's Thriller [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Thriller and I go way back. I was too young when Thrillermania was going on but I experienced parts of the michael jackson mania since the mid 80's. The video scared me when I was a toddler but I had a Thriller toy anyways and appreciated the video even more when I was older. It is a brilliant masterpiece, the king of all music videos and it will never be forgotten. I love this video, it shows you how this masterpiece was created and there's a lot of cute moments while making the video. I love mike, he's the best.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thriller! Thriller Night!, October 17, 2004

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Making Michael Jackson's Thriller [VHS] (VHS Tape)

THis video is pure genious. The music video is, and so is the "making of" video. I wasn't alive back when michael Jackson was so famous and was the number one pop idol. This video was so amazing. Michael did an amazing job with singing, dancing, and acting. To be honest, his singing in this video is better than the singing in the recorded song!! That's awsome, he improved on himself! His acting was amazing, and people that watch this video for the 1st time would be shocked. Michael did an amazing job of being the villain, he wasn't any hero in this video.


The other features show how they did makeup and directing and all of that jazzy stuff. It's really amusing to watch, and you get to learn all of the secrets of this 700 grand dollar video. If you want to see Michael at his finest (without including any moonwalking stuff..) buy, I repeat BUY this video. YOu can witness Thrillerpalooza at it's finest.Well...or Thriller mania...just buy this video!
