No problem at all. A little piece of history recovered 😌👍🏾🙏🏾

I have wondered where this was for years, no one has ever covered it, thank you

That was scary at the end, but I should have expected it 😭🤣! You just may have a new subscriber here!

I was just saying, nobody has every covered this part...and i was just looking to see if anybody has covered it yet...and i ran into your video...Thank you

I've always been so interested in Thriller and all of it's filming locations. It's so fantastic that someone finally tracked the spot down! It's crazy to think how many people probably walked this trail, not knowing it's significance.

I can tell you, there were many people hiking that day and not one stopped to ask what I was doing lol. So if it's gone unknown for 40 years, no telling lol

Thanks my friend. Let me know if you have any questions

Wow. Real Cool. By Deductive Reasoning, You Can Come to The Conclusion that The Director Would Not Choose the First Site As It Is a Main Vein for Car Travel. The Exact Location is Less Traveled by Vehicles, Meaning that One Has More Ability to Control the Shoot. The Thriller Video is Incredible.

*DAMN,* That's attention to detail. Astute observations and keen investigating skills, good sir. 😃✊🏿

Great detective work! Wow

I love that you found the opening scene for thriller……….but in 1986 there was a movie called night of the creeps it kind of reminds me of thriller especially in the opening scene for it but especially there is also a scene in the beginning where the sees meteor fall from the sky and they drive away well when they leave from looking over the city the shot where they drive down the road is I think the same exact shot where thriller was filmed………I can show you what I’m talking about but you have to put it exactly how I put it but here it is type in “ night of the creeps 1986 directors cut comedy flick axe at the car” type that in and watch it entirely and you’ll see what I mean …..and if you line the tow car scenes up perfectly they’re identical

The interior shots for the theater scenes were filmed inside the Rialto Theater in South Pasadena! Also, the Pasadena Civic Auditorium (Not far from the Rialto) is where MJ did the Moonwalker for the first time

The crazy thing is, if you watch the scene, it looks like there are lamp posts in the background, but in reality, they just used flood lights to light up the scene. At night it's pitch black

Hey can you do the filming location part where Michael and his date were walking down that dark alley where Michael was singing thriller

I'm not certain because looking at this scene, they had to have a cart/rail with a camera attached, and I looked like they could've filmed it by the road where this scene took place.

That was filmed on the same street right by the dance scenes. They just kept using the same streets and made it look like a longer street
