Which Michael Jackson music video featured zombies? Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” featured zombies. Released on December 2, 1983, the groundbreaking video combined a short horror film with elaborate dance choreography and starred Jackson alongside actress Ola Ray.

Directed by John Landis, the video begins with a 1950s-style werewolf sequence before shifting to a movie theater and a nighttime walk through the city. Zombies rise from a graveyard, surround Jackson and his girlfriend, and perform the famous synchronized dance. Jackson also transforms into a zombie during the sequence.

“Thriller” was much longer and more cinematic than most music videos of its era, helping establish the format as a major form of popular entertainment. Its iconic red jacket, horror imagery, and choreography became closely associated with Halloween and pop culture. In 2009, it became the first music video selected for preservation in the U.S. National Film Registry.
