filed under: music, video

Iconic music videos don’t just come together on the first try, but we rarely get to see the magic behind the final result. In the case of Michael Jackson’s hit “Thriller,” someone was kind enough to film some of the rehearsals so that we can see how one of the most famous music videos in history came together.

Because we know you can’t get enough of MJ’s dance moves, this video intersperses footage from the actual music video with some of the accompanying rehearsals. Notably, it includes his one-on-one rehearsals with co-star Ola Ray.
