Michael Jackson's elaborate Music Video for "Thriller" debuted to much hype in 1983 and was an instant smash hit. As the most famous single video of all time, it's become a Stock Parody, usually referencing the "zombie dance" performed by Michael and a troupe of ghouls and/or the closing Or Was It a Dream? shot of Michael with evil yellow eyes. The red leather jacket Jackson wore in the video is also likely to turn up in such spoofs. In a series, this is often a part of a Halloween Episode. Usually combined with The Dead Can Dance. Compare Bohemian Parody, another Stock Parody of a famous music video. |

One of the first bosses in Splatterhouse: Wanpaku Graffiti for Famicom is a vampire, clad in Jackson's red jacket, who emerges from a disco floor in a cemetery and summons various zombies who start dancing and then attack the player. The game is similarly loaded with parodies of famous horror films. | |

The Simpsons: In "Treehouse Of Horror III"'s final segment ("Dial 'Z' for Zombies"), Bart and Lisa try to revive their dead cat with a magic spell, but accidentally raise dead humans from the nearby graveyard instead. This was probably bound to happen, given that Bart had to wear the Thriller album sleeve on his head to perform the spell. In the third level of arcade game, when a batch of zombies rise from the ground they briefly perform the Thriller dance. |

Death's song from the Halloween special of Horrible Histories (sadly impossible to find online) was built up to be this, but surprised everyone by being a pastiche of "My Favorite Things" instead. Still had some Thriller esque dancing ghouls, though. | |

Robot Chicken's second season ends with co-creator Matthew Senreich killing a majority of the show's cast, staff and even co-creator Seth Green...but they're renewed for another season anyway. Seth and the rest of the dead characters rise from their graves and chase after Matt. After the zombies corner Matt, his phone rings. They stop and dance to the music (a knockoff of "Thriller"), but once the music stops, they go right back to chasing him. | |

In Team Fortress 2, activating any taunt during the Halloween season carries a high chance of your character performing the zombie dance instead. The map added with the Spectral Halloween Special has a roulette wheel (which activates whenever any team caps the point on the map) that can force both teams to dance this way a meter apart. Then return control of everyone's weapons. Hilarity Ensues. |

South Park Once Chef becomes a zombie in the Season One Halloween Episode "Pinkeye", he dances along with the other zombies and is dressed in Jackson's outfit. Instead of the actual song, there's a Suspiciously Similar Substitute with (this being Chef) lyrics about making love. In "The Jeffersons", the reveal of Michael-as-zombie is parodied when the kids see the crumbling ruin that is the actual face of Michael Jackson (circa 2005). And yes, he's wearing the red jacket. |
