How does one go about describing how much of an epic win Thriller is? How do you synthesize all that awesome down into a few paragraphs? Is it because Thriller was one of the first mini-film music videos? Or because the choreography was so catchy that it’s been remade by countless people in weddings, video games, Legos, and even prison?

Here are just a few examples of remakes:

Unsolved Mysteries was so epic because it featured reenactments of real crimes, ghost stories, unexplainable feats, etc., and it had spooky music that hooked you. It was also great at highlighting the cleverness and utter-stupidity of criminals at the same time. We’ll never forget the episode highlighting the cyber-criminal Kevin Poulsen and how he had been hiding from the FBI and simultaneously wire-tapping them at the same time, but then got caught by a store night manager.

Robert Stack’s voice was also uber-hypnotic.

Are You Afraid of the Dark was supposedly for young adults, however, according to at least a handful of people we know, they wish they’d never seen it, since they still can’t watch scary movies or tv shows. For the rest of us it was a great evening adventure that would scare the wits out of us and prepare us for the horror films that we would be allowed to see as we got older. Even now, watching clips of Are You Afraid of the Dark on YouTube, it has a certain spooky quality to it that if watched alone, too late at night, might give someone the willies.

Here’s an episode we found on YouTube and it’s extra spooky since it includes clowns .

Remember when Twilight Zone ruined Christmas by revealing Santa was an alcoholic? Kids around the world cried the night Santa got arrested.
