Michael Jackson's "Thriller" video debuted in 1982, and has been mesmerizing viewers ever since with its vision of werewolves and zombies. The dancing undead are pretty darn frightening, or at least they were 17 years ago. But has "Thriller" stood the test of time?
Our sister site, Holidash, took on this question. Reporter Nick Zaino talked with two Jackson fans, his 8-year-old niece Natalie and her 6-year-old sister, Clara, and they agreed: "Thriller" is still scary.
Holidash: Do you like the Thriller video by Michael Jackson?
Natalie: Oh my god, no.
Clara: No, we do not like it. We just hate it. We hate it.
Find out what scares Natalie and Clara at Holidash -- and see the entire video. Then decide for yourself: Is "Thriller" still the scariest music video ever?

I think those little girls have been sheltered too long. That Michael Jackson video is not scary. My little sister is 6 and she loves that video and dances to it. I dont have anything scary about that video at all. The parents put it in their head that its scary!!

i have a 4 year old cousin and i had this Michael Jackson Number Ones dvd and I was going to show her this brilliant singer, dancer, and humanitarian. Now everytime she comes over she asks me to turn it on and her favorites are Thriller and Bad. Now, I'm sure Michael, it's still scary to some, because I usually do skip over the part with the zombies coming to life :) but she is mesmerized by Mikes moves.
