You stand still on a foggy city street at night, staring into the camera. It pulls back, a crowd of zombies rises behind you, and you lead them through the famous moves: a sharp head throw, a deep lunge with your arms wide, claw hands, shrugging shoulders and a stomp toward the lens.
The moves come from the 1983 Thriller music video, where a crowd of zombies dances behind the lead on a dark street. It has been a Halloween party favourite ever since, and on TikTok the AI version puts anyone at the front of the crowd.
Everyone knows the moves, and nobody expects to see you doing them with a street full of zombies behind you. Your version keeps your face and your clothes, and the crowd follows your lead.

Straight answers on making, paying for and sharing your Thriller Dance video.
It’s the zombie dance from Thriller with you in the lead: a cold stare on a foggy night street, then a crowd of zombies rises behind you and follows your moves. The AI version makes the whole video from one photo.
The clothes from your photo. You dance as yourself, not in a costume or zombie make-up, so pick a photo in the outfit you want to dance in.
No. You stay yourself, face and all. Only the crowd behind you are zombies.
No. The zombies have grey skin and torn 80s clothes, like the music video, with no blood and no wounds.
One clear face, looking at the camera, in good light, with nothing covering it. A head-to-knees photo is even better, because your outfit comes from it too.
Only if they’ve agreed to it. Please don’t use photos of celebrities or of anyone who hasn’t said yes.
Yes. Thriller plays over the whole video, and the moves land on the beat. If an app mutes it, pick the same sound from its library when you post.
No. You only add a photo; the head throw, the lunge, the claw hands and the stomp all come from the trend.
Yes. It’s vertical, made to fill the phone on TikTok, Reels and Shorts, with no watermark.
Not yet. For now it’s one person per video, with the zombie crowd behind you. A version for you and your friends is on our list.
Not yet. The moves are made for people, so this one is for people only for now.
