When thinking of a blockbuster music video one of the first artists that came into mind was Michael Jackson. He is a huge worldwide phenomenon therefore the video I looked at was his famous hit ‘Thriller’. It is based on Michael being on a date whereby they get attacked by Zombies. He transforms into a zombie in one of the scenes and we see the famous ‘Thriller’ dance being performed with fellow dancers/zombies.
