When ’Thriller’ Met ’Halloween’

What do Michael Jackson’s Thriller video and the villainous Michael Myers of the Halloween film series have in common? Aside from the name Michael, they are the sources of CH’s journey from scaredy cat to scary movie aficionado. Join us for our first (and fun) Halloween-esque episode talking all-things MTV, Thriller, werewolves, Halloween, seeing masks in towels and a very oblivious (but favorite) IRL babysitter that started it all. Show Notes The Thriller long-form video might be sensitive for some viewers. Think werewolves and zombies, with zombies dancing with Michael Jackson (yes, really). The Making of Thriller is also quite interesting for those that enjoy behind-the-scenes type of documentaries. This article by the Guardian is also a great read: How Michael Jackson's 'Thriller' changed music videos forever You can check out any of the Halloween movie series on most streamers. Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers will always be “the one” for host CH. The concept for the animated film, Coco, is inspired by the Mexican holiday Day of the Dead (a.k.a Dia De Los Muertos) For our fellow all-things-scary aficionados: Knott's Scary Farm
