The Unbelievable Strange Indian Version of Michael Jackson’s Thriller
This Strange Indian Version Of Michael Jackson’s Thriller Is Way Out In Left Field
I remember when Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” was first shown on MTV in 1983. I was amazed at the video and how long it was. The coolness of all the zombies and the cheesy storyline made it an instant classic on MTV. It was such a huge success that it was played almost every hour. The video was set to be a favorite around the Halloween season.

MTV And Music Videos Just Starting To Become Popular
Music videos were still evolving over the years. British artists had a good 10-year jump on the U.S. and were typically funnier and more cheesy. Like Flock of Seagulls’ song, “I Ran So Far Away.” As you can see, the cameraman is all wrapped in tinfoil going around in circles. Motley Crue’s “Too Young To Fall in Love” was another video I laughed at all the way through. The band tried to look like they were a tough street gang in Little China. Who can forget Billy Squire’s “Love Me Tonight” video, which just about ruined his career.
“The King of Pop”
Nothing Like The Original
In 1985, Michael Jackson’s famous “Thriller” was re-imagined featuring a leading man dressed in a red leather costume, not unlike the one Michael Jackson wore for the “Thriller, with a mixture of traditional and Western dance moves and a good leading lady to make it watchable. This takes the award for not King of Pop but rather King of Cheese videos. Weird Al Yankovic even makes better videos than this. This Halloween season, make it a point to have a few moments of laughter and watch this version and be happy. Halloween only comes once a year.
With the help of a handful of backup dancers dressed as zombies, “Golimar” became a viral internet meme many years ago, becoming a widely seen video on YouTube and a serious favorite across the web more than 30 years after the parody’s debut. It’s hard to describe how great (and really, really funny) this video is without giving anything away, so take our word for it and check it out in the video below. Enjoy!
But somehow this outrageous video trumps them all. Social media was key to the popularity of this takeoff video. Without the help of viewers who turned it into a viral sensation, we might never have stumbled across this moment of cinematic and musical greatness.

A Halloween Tradition Was Always The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown
“The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown” started its run back in 1965. It’s part of my childhood forever. Sure, I could throw on the DVD easily any time of the year. But who plays DVDs much anymore? My DVD player has dust on it. Another reason I loved the Halloween special was the music soundtrack by jazz great Vince Guaraldi. Vince cornered the market on Halloween and Christmas music that is so recognizable to the ears when you listen you know it’s the Peanuts music. So this year, we are going to feel like Charlie Brown, as we are getting a rock this Halloween.
The GHOUL HALLOWEEN SHOW
My childhood hero and King and Leader The Ghoul. Ronald D. Sweed (January 23, 1949 – April 1, 2019) was an American entertainer and author, known for his late-night television horror host character “The Ghoul”. Stay sick, turn blue, scratch glass, climb walls do it while you can but don’t get caught.
