Beat by beat
The dance fits in 10 seconds. These are the beats to hit:
- 0:00, cold stare: chest-up on a foggy street, you stare into the camera.
- 0:02, they rise: the camera pulls back and the zombies appear behind you.
- 0:03, head throw: one sharp throw of your head, right on the beat.
- 0:04, the lunge: a deep lunge, arms wide, the whole crowd swaying with you.
- 0:07, claws and stomp: claw hands up, shoulders shrugging, stomping toward the lens.
Film it yourself
- Find a street or an alley at night, ideally with some fog or smoke and a street lamp behind you.
- Start chest-up on a still stare, then have whoever holds the phone step back to show your knees.
- Line up friends behind you in torn, faded clothes and grey make-up, all doing the moves with you.
- Hit the head throw, the lunge and the claw hands on the beat of the song, then stomp toward the lens.
Post it with the Thriller Dance sound, so it shows up with the rest of the trend. Not sure what it is? The explainer has the whole story.
Or make it from one photo
- Open the Thriller Dance page.
- Add one photo: your face toward the camera, in the clothes you want to dance in, in good light. The photo guide shows what works.
- Press Make my video and sign in when you’re asked. It’s ready in a few minutes. You can close the page: the video waits in My videos and we email you when it’s ready.
- Download the MP4, with the song and no watermark, and post it to TikTok, Instagram Reels or YouTube Shorts.
Each video uses credits from a pack or a monthly plan. See pricing.
Fragen
Do I need to know the dance?
No. You only add a photo; the head throw, the lunge, the claw hands and the stomp all come from the trend.
Does the AI video come with the song?
Yes. The song is already in your video. If a platform mutes it, pick the Thriller sound from its library when you post.
What if the video fails?
You don’t pay for it: what it used goes back to your balance automatically, and you can try again with another photo.
