Lola Perazzo Performs to "Thriller" on Public Access TV

Remember when Napoleon calmly took the stage in his unfashionable duds and moved awkwardly to the music for all his classmates to see? This chick does exactly that, but in the dark and on public access television. She thrusts, bounces, and masquerades around like some sort of monster out of the "Thriller" vid — but she's got no costume. Just head-to-toe spandex. Which is a far cry from Read more

Fergie, Akon, and Others Contribute to 25th Anniversary Thriller Album

Can you believe it's been more than 25 years since Michael Jackson's hit album Thriller was released? In November of 1982 the album made waves for hosting such wonders as "Billie Jean," Beat It," and, of course, "Thriller," though as Entertainment Weekly points out, not every track was a winner (anyone remember "The Lady in My Life"?).

Toyota of Tampa Bay Commercial is a Real "Thriller"

Gotta love them low-budget commercials, especially when they get their inspiration from Wacko Jacko. Since when do zombies and dead people make good car salesmen? And since when do car salesmen make good recording artists? Since never— that's why this commercial is a real thriller doozy. (And also why I secretly love every second of it!) Read more

It is historical, Read more
