Michael Jackson's 1982 single "Thriller" was adapted into a highly successful music video featuring Jackson in a setting heavily inspired by horror films of the 1950s. In the video's most iconic scene, Jackson leads other actors costumed as zombies 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. In 2009, it was added to the National Film Registry by the Library of Congress - the first music video ever selected. Offered here is a document dated March 13, 1985 releasing Jerry Kramer & Associates to utilize a few seconds of footage from the making of the "Thriller" music video for the music video "Amadeus". Jackson signed the release in blue ballpoint pen. In fine condition. Accompanied by a full Letter of Authenticity from Beckett Authentication Services (BAS).
