o Michael Jackson ‘Thriller’
 This video takes its inspiration from 1950s horror and 1980s zombie movies. This short horror movie was produced in an era where music videos consisted of performance footage and cheesy editing. This style of video was a breakthrough at the time of release, with this very different film making style, it encouraged other artists and directors to think outside the box and produce videos that are more out there.
