Michael Is #1 for Halloween This Year

The King of Pop keeps setting records. This year, at the Halloween celebration on October 31, the best-selling costume is his red jacket from Thriller. Of course, it should be said that it is also the best-selling Halloween costume in the history of the holiday.

The designer of the red jacket Michael wore in the thrilling Thriller video was Deborah Landis, the wife of John Landis, the director of Thriller. Now, that jacket has become a Halloween costume too.

Online stores, hoping to meet the reported surge in demand, are hoping they ordered enough red jackets. It’s estimated that over the remaining days until Halloween, 1 million of these jackets will be sold worldwide.

Previously, the record holder for the most popular Halloween costume was the scary outfit from the 1996 film Scream. That costume was sold in different price tiers, so in that year it could be seen on anyone. This year, the Thriller jacket is offered at two different prices, which boosts sales even further.

With Thriller around, even the dead will rise from their graves for Halloween. Thriller night parties, group dancing, and perhaps a group effort to set another Guinness record for the largest number of Thriller dancers will make this Halloween unforgettable. As it turns out, Thriller fever has taken everyone this year.
