So I'm browsing through the Michael Jackson Archives fanpage on Facebook and one of the users asked if Vincent Price makes a cameo appearance in the short film Thriller as the final zombie...And it never occured to me that it might actually BE Vincent! We never got an explanation on why the last zombie was shown ending the video. Could it be?

I don't think it is. Some people believe Janet is one of the zombies in the video too

The video of this song reminds of something but i can't just figure it out.

But how sure can we be? There has to be SOME kind of significance in the final zombie because it freezes right on him (or her?) .. But at the same time, there's a lot of zombies in the short film that we don't actually see during the dance sequence (a la Cee Lo Green Fat Blue-Faced zombie and One Armed Willie whose arm falls off while walking...) IDK...

Because in the 25+ years since it's release it has never been confirmed or even hinted at by any official sources - it would make sense if it was that would have mentioned it at it's time of release. Or in one of the many interviews Price gave, or the many books written about it.

Sadly its just an incorrect observation by a fan or so and on it's gone.

I doubt that it was Janet because I remembered she was doing the "Fame" series, and she couldn't dance very well to save her life. It's was until after "Thriller". Paula Abdul trained her.

Um did anyone watch CNN when they interviewed this random doctor of psychology, and when she was asked to analyze what's going on in MJ's fans heads, she replied "to the fans, MJ was a savior, and they tend to depict Murray as Satan who killed their savior. Of course, it's all distorted" lol what the hell...I'm sure some fans think that way but when it's so obvious the doctor didn't even know how to perform CPR right...and what about the fact that he took FOREVER to call the paramedics....

I hate how media is more focused on how crazy MJ fanatics are to this day about their hero...kind of stuff....they should be focusing on the facts and evidence...I'm so anxious about the trial...

[Edited 9/9/11 18:07pm]

Sadly the JUSTICEFORMJ fans, who I know mean well, only end up continuing the misconception.

A lot of fans don't realise that their treatment of Murray is identical to the media's treatment of MJ at his trial. They are prejudging the man's guilt without letting him have his day in court. And yet they will say MJ was persecuted by the media who labelled him guilty in 2005.

I hope that sanity prevails in the case, the facts are presented and justice is delivered. In my mind Murray didn't set out to murder Michael. It was a tragic accident that Murray was culpable of and his actions following the death were one of panic. It's his failing to give the proper care and his subsequent actions that hindered and resulted in Michael's death and it is for that that he should be judged.

Have to agree too. And if Murray if found not guilty, 3rd world war is beginning I swear, because the fans will be so mad... still, their (our) argument ''MJ was found not guilty in 2005 so shut up'' will now mean nothing as a proof of him being innocent, cause they (we) will do exactly what non MJ fans are doing with the 2005 case = not accepting nor believing the result of the trial and the fans will get that thrown n their face at any time.

It.Will.Be.A.Mess.

Please, that arm-chair psychologist on CNN can fuck off...

Michael wasn't a Savoir, but he was a lot of things to millions of people. And she has no right to sit there in the spotlight and point her finger at us, calling all of us lunatics. Fuck her and pop psychology.

It's not wrong to want justice for someone you care about, personally or otherwise. And frankly, in a society that has done nothing but publicly humiliate and crucify the man, he deserves justice. His CHILDREN deserve the knowledge that this world can change...they can be on the side of the right. He died at the hands of Murray, and Murray needs to be held accountable.

As far as Murray goes, he deserves his day in court. But from looking at his defense, he is grasping at straws. Changing his story constantly, with scenarios that don't even make relative sense. I resent the fact you say we're demonizing the man, saying we're painting him the same way the media painted MJ. Michael was clearly innocent from the start. You don't need to falsify evidence to prove guilt. The evidence speaks for itself.

As far as whether justice will be served or not, I'm preparing myself for the eventuality that Murray will walk free. Casey Anthony's prosecutor had more evidence and could've got a conviction, and that bitch walked away free as a bird.

All I know is...Michael was someone special to me. I want to see the society that once threw stones at him, lower the gavel on his murderer.

I'm learning to be at peace with the fact that this world isn't fair. And heroes who appear on the horizon better beware, because nobody gives a damn, and they'll eventually tear you down if you trust them too much.

You were too good for this world, Michael...

Hey Eyes,

My point was a lot of people / fans are acting like the very thing they hated durng the 2005 trial with placards and the like announcing guilt.

All I am saying is that, as a fan, I want to give Murray the same rights I wanted Michael to have during his 2005 trial - let the facts speak for themselves, be reported fairly and see justice served.

Sadly I've seen many a fan turn into the very thing MJ disliked, spreading Tabloid rumours about and propping up ridiculous stories of faked deaths, hoaxes, conspriacies etc. I find it hard to support those actions. They do nothing to protect a legacy and only seem to propogate the "wacko" myths that plagued Michael's life.

I hope we can all remain level headed, seek the truth and see justice served.

Thank you for clearing that up, Swa.

And you're right in the respect some fans have just lost their marbles. Their devotion is rather askew as of late. But they shouldn't represent us. And the media shouldn't throw us all into one boat.

I know we're a bit over-protective when it comes to Michael...but really who can blame us? We know the man is human, and he makes mistakes. We love him as he is because he gave us so much. He's not a prophet, or a messenger of God. But I can honestly say that God worked miracles through Michael Jackson. We learned to be real, to kind, loving, and caring, to be accepting of one another no matter what ethnicity, religion, walk of life, that we are. All this through the beauty of music and dance. While we're aware of his human-ness and of the gifts he gave us, and the magic he made us feel. We feel it our duty to defend him to a world who doesn't recognize his humanness, but rather, THEY are the ones who portray him an untouchable god, getting away with murder, flouting society's conventions.

And they call us crazy?

Bitch, please...

Though I'm mad about Conrad, I'm in denial of what he has done though I believe his guilt. I just try to live each day for myself though the pain is heavily present, and just pray for justice, even though I've lost faith in it and this world not being good.

The biggest co-sign of 2011 for me:

All I know is...Michael was someone special to me. I want to see the society that once threw stones at him, lower the gavel on his murderer.

Thanks for putting this so beautifully ThruTheEyesOfWonder

I couldn't agree with you more!

I also feel vindictive about what they all did to him....but sometimes I just wish I didn't love him so much or could just walk away, cause him being gone this way hurts too much, even to admit. But you know how the cliche goes, it's better to have loved than not at all. Though I still do, it's too painful to feel it the same way as before though it's all still there but blanketed with pain and denial

Isn't it time this MJ Sticky was done away with?

It's been over 2 years since MJ's death. I don't think MJ fans will constantly be flooding the boards and if they do, just put a maximum limit on the # of threads related to one artists like the mods have been doing.

I love MJ and i'm a big fan, but I hardly ever post in here. I don't feel like reading through all those pages and having such a big thread really isn't good for talking about different topics or having interesting discussions about MJ and his music for too long.

I really think this thread has served it's purpose and i'd like to go be able to post about individual topics as it relates to MJ again w/o having it be part of a big cluttered thread.

The whole purpose of having an MJ sticky is to make it easier to keep track of all the MJ topics. Prince and MJ fans here like discussing Michael so it makes sense to make a MJ sticky than to have a bunch of random MJ topics in this non discussion.
