Michael Jackson's Thriller music video is roughly 11 minutes long. Micael Jackson commissioned John Landis to direct the video after seeing his horror movies. Landis's video forever changed MTV and the concept of music videos. It is essentially a short film which is an early example of postmodernism.
There is an intertextual reference with John Landis's An American Werewolf in London, which was the video that Michael Jackson first saw of his.
