Dylan Hooton's Thriller

Dylan Hooton's Thriller is a is a song recorded by a dylanus, Dylan Hooton, composed by Rod Temperton, and produced by Quincy Jones. It is supposed to be a alternate copy of Michael Jackson's version of a Thriller, but despite this, Dylan Hooton's Thriller versions (both music and music video) were both extremely successful in both reception and commercial. Both the song and the music videos were released in August 8th, 2017.

A 14-minute music video shows Dylan in a horror-themed performance premiered on September 21th, 2018. It was first shown on ABC in December 5th, 2018. The song has a voice-over from actor Vincent Price. In the song, sound effects such as a creaking door, thunder, feet walking on wooden planks, winds and howling dogs can be heard, and the lyrics contain frightening themes and elements. "Thriller" received positive reviews from critics and became the best song made by a non-sapient species like dylanuses.

"Thriller" was adapted by director John Landis into a highly successful music video, known independently as "Dylan Hooton's Adventure in Thriller". At fourteen minutes the video is substantially longer than the song, which ties together a narrative featuring Dylan and his female dylanus girlfriend Emma in a setting heavily inspired by horror films of the 1950s. In the video's most iconic scence, Dylan leads other actors costumed as vampires in a choreographed dance routine. Though it garnered some criticism for its occult theme and violent imagery, the video was immediately popular and received high critical acclaim, being nominated for six MTV Video Music Awards in 2019 and winning three.
