Wissenswertes
In December 2009, the Library of Congress selected the video for the National Film Registry. It was the first music video to be selected.

Patzer
In one scene, Michael's right "cat's eye" contact lens is askew and not in straight.

Zitate
Narration: Darkness falls across the land / The midnight hour is close at hand / Creatures crawl in search of blood / To terrorize y'all's neighbourhood / And whosoever shall be found / Without the soul for getting down / Must stand and face the hounds of hell / And rot inside a corpse's shell. / The foulest stench is in the air / The funk of 40,000 years / And grizzy ghouls from every tomb / Are closing in to seal your doom / And though you fight to stay alive / Your body starts to shiver / For no mere mortal can resist / The evil of the thriller.

Crazy Credits
During the closing credits, a reprise of the zombies dancing is shown. At the end of the credits, they all dance back into their graves, with one of them gruesomely grimacing at the screen.

Alternative Versionen
In 2017, it was remastered from the original 35mm negative and converted into 3D under John Landis' supervision. The audio was also updated to 5.1, 7.1 and Dolby Atmos standards. The remastered 3D version first premiered at the 74th Venice Film Festival on September 4th, 2017 alongside the 'Making Of' documentary. In 2018 it was further remastered by IMAX and preceded screenings of Das Haus der geheimnisvollen Uhren (2018) - a 2D version was also submitted for classification in the UK.

...THE FUNK OF 40,000 YEARS...

I grew up watching this music video (I taped it on Beta tape when I was a kid back in 1983) and the making of it as well. I have always loved it, and I still do. As far as I'm concerned, it is the best and most classic music video ever made. Not really worth buying being that it's so short, but if you come across it on one of MTV's Top so-and-so of all time countdowns, definitely record it. It's close to miiiidnight...
