Released in 1983, the 'Thriller' music video remains a cinematic landmark directed by John Landis. This iconic clip features Michael Jackson as he transforms, ending with a chilling, echo-laden laugh famously voiced by horror legend Vincent Price. As the song fades, Jackson turns toward the camera with glowing feline eyes, punctuating his supernatural reveal with this sinister cackle. In the meme world, this clip is the gold standard for representing a 'villain arc' or the moment someone realizes their chaotic plan has succeeded. It captures feelings of dark triumph, mischievous intent, or simply losing one's mind after a long day. Example captions include: 'When you successfully convince the group to order the food you wanted,' 'Me after sending a risky text and turning my phone off,' and 'When you catch someone in a lie you already have the receipts for.'
