Halloween Rubber Stamp
“It’s close to midnight, and something evil’s lurking in the dark…”
This line is now famous for opening Michael Jackson’s Thriller video – an epic 14-minute long piece that would go on to be named the Guinness Book of World Record’s “Most Successful Music Video” ever. Whether you were born before or after the video’s 1983 release date, you’re probably still familiar with the classic “zombie” dance moves that made this music video so popular.
The video’s creepy setting and lyrics make it the perfect inspiration for a Michael Jackson Halloween costume this year. Recreate Michael’s look for yourself or disguise yourself as one of the video’s zombie and werewolf dancers – just remember to learn the dance moves for yourself so that you can perform throughout the night!
The look itself isn’t that difficult to recreate. For the majority of the video, Michael wears a red vinyl jacket and pants set, highlighted with black trim in a “V” pattern across his chest and back. The easiest way to put together a Michael Jackson Thriller Halloween costume this year is to simply buy a ready-made replica, since you won’t have to worry about tracking down different pieces on your own.
However, if you’re on a budget, don’t worry – you can still put together this iconic look. First, check your local thrift stores for red leather jackets and pants. You can always add the black stripes with electrical tape or fabric paint on your own. If you can’t find the correct style in leather, you can always look for red pieces made out of denim, cotton or knit fabrics that might work as well.
The easiest way to put together your own Michael Jackson Thriller Halloween costume is simply to purchase a ready-made costume package online. This will cut down on the number of hours you need to spend running around town, trying to track down each individual piece. Plus, Michael Jackson costumes are intricate and detailed – if you try to make your own, you’re in for quite a challenge!
