It's kind of funny that our coolest moment from a Michael Jackson song is a part that he's not even singing in!  retroCRUSH fan Amanda Mosier suggested the Vincent Price speech at the song's end, "I've always loved the part of Thriller where Vincent Price starts rambling on and on about blood and evil, etc. Then when he's finally finished, he does his Eeeevillle laugh. For one thing, VP is just really cool. For another, it's also the part in the video where Michael tells the girl everything's okay only to turn around revealing his yellow demon eyes. When I was five and the video was new, that was the scariest thing I had ever seen. I actually still to this day try not to watch the end of the video! Even hearing Vincent Price cackling like a psychopath is enough to remind me of hiding under the covers in terror."
