Released in 1983, 'Michael Jackson’s Thriller' is a landmark short film directed by John Landis. In this legendary scene, Michael Jackson, portraying the lead zombie, leads a horde of the undead through a highly synchronized and iconic dance routine in a foggy graveyard. The choreography, created by Jackson and Michael Peters, transformed the horror genre into a pop culture phenomenon that remains the most-watched music video of all time. In the meme world, this clip is the gold standard for representing 'squad goals' or the official arrival of spooky season. It is frequently used to depict a group of friends suddenly agreeing on a plan or acting in bizarre, perfect unison. The 'creeping' motion of the zombies also serves as a hilarious visual for entering a situation with dramatic, unearned confidence. Commonly used caption ideas include: 'When the whole squad actually shows up to the party on time,' 'Me and the boys at 3 AM looking for shredded cheese,' and 'Retail workers preparing for the holiday rush on November 1st.'
