Michael Jackson’s “Thriller,” one of the most iconic songs of all time, has become a tradition around Halloween. Anthony Vincent of Ten Second Songs put his unique spin on Jackson’s track by interpreting it through the sounds of 20 different singers.
Ten Second Songs is the hit YouTube channel through which he performs his magic; he’s done this already for Katy Perry’s “Dark Horse,” Ariana Grande’s “Problem” and others.

This time around, Vincent was in appropriate “Thriller”-inspired garb, including Jackson’s iconic red jacket, as he impressively tackled a wide array of styles. While his other videos have gone even wider with their artistic choices, Vincent clearly kept things somewhat dark in this one to fit his Halloween theme.
So while there were impressions of Spice Girls, Tom Waits and Rick Astley along the way, more of it was from artists like Ozzy Osbourne, Cannibal Corpse, Tenacious D, Marilyn Manson, Avenged Sevenfold, Type O Negative and even Jack Skellington from “The Nightmare Before Christmas.” He threw us for a loop with Busta Rhymes coming after Vincent Price‘s iconic rap segment, though.

As a bonus, he did have two theme-appropriate additional voices join Price on his classic verse. Tim Curry’s Pennywise the Clown from “It” was followed by “The Twilight Zone’s” Rod Serling.
