Zombie Costumes

When the Thriller video was first aired in 1983, it changed the way music was marketed forever. It became a turning point in music history and a lasting legacy to one of the greatest pop icons ever. You may want to pay your own tribute with this Michael Jackson Thriller costume and this can also be played out as a group theme with friends playing the part of the zombies.

Dancing with the undead may not seem to be the most attractive way to present a new song. However, it has become one of the most memorable pieces of pop history. We will always associate the words “its close to midnight” with the images of that video and the song itself. Who can also forget the ending and the genius of using the voice of Vincent Price who probably has the most infamous horror tones of all time.

It is not surprising that the video became a multi award winner. The initial budget for the filming was huge but was clearly returned many times over by the worldwide sales of the record.

The Michael Jackson Thriller costume itself has become an instant symbol of the song and you can now recreate this moment of pop history yourself. You can head over to Buy Costumes here and see the design which includes a fully reversible blood red replica of the jacket and matching pants.
