<human>:  Why is the Michael Jackson song ‘Thriller’ called ‘Thriller’?
<bot>: The song is called Thriller because the video is a thriller. The video was directed by John Landis, and it features a man who is chased through a dark alley by a bunch of people with knives. He runs into a room where there is a huge skeleton, and then he jumps out a window and lands on a boat.
