abstract	%22Thriller%22 is a song recorded by American recording artist Michael Jackson, composed by Rod Temperton, and produced by Quincy Jones. It is the second single from his sixth studio album of the same name. It was released on November 30, 1982 by Epic Records. The song has appeared on multiple greatest hits compilation albums from Jackson, including %22HIStory%22 (1995), %22Number Ones%22 (2003), %22The Essential Michael Jackson%22 (2005) and %22Michael Jackson's This Is It%22 (2009) and it was remixed to the %22Immortal%22 album in 2011. The song, which has a voice-over from actor Vincent Price had originally been titled %22Starlight%22, and contained different lyrics that fit to the same tune.The song's instruments include a bassline and synthesizer. In the song, sound effects such as a creaking door, thunder, feet walking on wooden planks, winds and howling dogs can be heard, and the lyrics contain frightening themes and elements. %22Thriller%22 received positive reviews from critics and became Jackson's seventh top-ten single on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart from the album, while reaching the top of the charts in France and Belgium and the top ten in many other countries.%22Thriller%22 was adapted by American Werewolf In London director John Landis into a highly successful music video, known independently as Michael Jackson's Thriller. At fourteen minutes the video is substantially longer than the song, which ties together a narrative featuring Jackson and actress Ola Ray in a setting heavily inspired by horror films of the 1950s. In the video's most iconic scene, Jackson leads other actors costumed as zombies in a choreographed dance routine. Though it garnered some criticism for its occult theme and violent imagery, the video was immediately popular and received high critical acclaim, being nominated for six MTV Video Music Awards in 1984 and winning three. In 2009 it was added to the National Film Registry by the Library of Congress, the first music video ever selected. %22Thriller%22 has been covered by multiple recording artists since its release in 1982, including Henry Mancini with The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Ian Brown, Ten Masked Men and Imogen Heap.
