Thriller is one of Michael Jackson's most well known songs. They play it every halloween at parties. The music video itself is nothing short of amazing.
We've done quite a few parodies of the Thriller video. Probably one of our most notable examples of this was the Grinchmas themed one we did with Captain Comedy turning into a grinch at the beginning.
Similarily I once had a dream about us doing a parody of Thriller using Jim Carrey, and it was a pretty funny one too. If you look around somewhere, you might be able to find it on tv. Jim turns into a weregrinch in the video.
I also had a dream that was a Thriller parody with Jim's character from the Cable Guy in it.
Remember the John Candy tribute song Jc Jr wrote on amiright? Well me and my brother produced it and also made the music video for it. It's also the first music video of ours to have a werejohncandy in it. The werejohncandy makeup took over 3 hours to apply. Makeup artist Dan McCloud is the makeup genius who created the werejohncandy makeup and costume. The fur used was the same brown fur we used for a documentary we did on Bigfoot. Eugene Levy provided the "rap" and Joe Flaherty appeared as the character of Count Floyd from SCTV at the beginning and end of the video.
It is one of our most beloved music videos, and one of the first ones to involve a transformation sequence. The music video for the Bjork parody So Tim Burtonesque used stop motion animation in some parts and we used special morphing technology for the parts where the person in the video turns into characters from Tim Burton's films during the imagination sequences. Also Stain Boy and a few other characters from Oyster Boy and Other Stories appear in it as well - look for them in some of the imagination sequences and at the end.
