assistant
The song is called Thriller because the video is a thriller. The video starts off with a young boy, played by Macaulay Culkin, running through a dark forest, chased by a mysterious man. The man is played by the late great singer Michael Jackson, who then performs the song. The video ends with the boy being caught by the man, who reveals himself to be Jackson.
