A Thrill To Watch!, 1 Oct 2003
By A Customer
This video is awesome, gives a detailed look into the making of one of the most famous music videos ever, 'Thriller.' Including dance rehearsals, interviews, doing the make-up for Mike (which took hours!) etc. I'm a huge MJ fan myself, and have collected a whole heap of his stuff, so most of this video I have seen before - but if you're a new fan, or a casual viewer, it's great to watch what goes on behind the makings of music videos and what goes into it. But even if you are an MJ collector, grab this just to complete the collection. Apparently, they're rather hard to find, so make sure you get a copy!

very entertaining and informative for fans and non fans, 24 April 2003
By A Customer
I suppose most of the people who are reading this review have seen thriller or another of michael jacksons spectacular music videos. If you havent, this video includes the music video itself and then 45 minutes of how the film was made and how the special effects were achieved. Michael Jackson is the king of music video. This is possibly one of his most famous videos and songs from the best selling album of all time (40 000 000 copies sold worldwide) Featuring a lot of special effects and costumes. We see Michael dressed up as a few scary creatures as the video takes through a story of Michael and his girlfriend walking home after seeing a horror film.... This is definatly the highlight of the video as you can watch it over and over. if you are into documentaries i suppose you could wtch that over and over but the highlight is definatly the main event. The music video beat it is also featured on the video. I would recommend this to any fan of Michael, music video, horror fims or just music

the making of michael jackson's thriller, 26 Mar 2003
This video is probably the greatest home video ever made. It is a little corny at times, but all in all a great piece of work by the master himself, Michael Jackson. Not only does it contain the music video for the song Thriller, it contains the making of it, as mentioned in the title. It has some great interviews with the key staff, and you really get a feel of the vast amount of work and money put into the production of the tape. There are also clips from some of Michael Jackson's other song videos, including Beat It, plus his legendary performance at Motown 25, where Billie Jean and the infamous Moonwalk were released to the world.
Even if you do not like Michael Jackson, this video is entertaining, and by not watching it you will be missing the greatest thing on Earth! It is a gem.

The greatest and the best, 3 Jul 2009
My sister and I stayed up late to watch the Thriller video when it was first shown on television. We then rushed out and bought 'The Making of Thriller' as soon as it was released. The VHS tape was sadly lost over the years. I think I lent it to one friend too many! But I always thought I would buy it again when it was released on DVD. I am amazed that this is still not available on DVD. In fact I have been waiting for Michael Jackson/Jackson 5/The Jacksons live concerts to be released on DVD but this has not happened. Does anyone know why? So I bought this VHS tape again instead. Good thing I still have my video player. This video is still fantastic after all this time. Michael was a true professional and had such passion and commitment for his art you could not help but admire him. Note to the powers that be: Please release this and the BAD tour on DVD soon. His fans would love that!

Michael Jackson is so cool.....I love him, 24 Nov 2004
This is FAB! I love MJ at the best of times, but he really surpassed himself with the Thriller album and video. "The Making of Thriller" is a great way to see Michael in his former glory, before the baby-dangling, the surgery and the funfair. He's so cute too!

DON'T MISS THE CHANCE!, 3 Sep 2009
As soon as I realized I could get back this item I had generously given away 6 years ago(Michael, forgive me!),I immediately felt the happiest woman ever! This used (really?) VHS is not only in perfect conditions, but has also the power to send you back to the magic 80s. And what can be a better witness of those years than this Michael Jackson's legendary video? My naive and enthusiastic expectations were immediately fulfilled since the very moment I saw the package (absolutely new!)but my deepest joy for a dream come true again was actually satisfied by the very good quality of the tape. I warmly invite those M.J.'s fans who still miss "The making of Thriller" and like to save money to trust the "used items" proposed by Amazon.co.
