Churches using “Thriller” promotions: An exhaustive look

 
It’s amazing what you can learn wasting a morning on youtube. This morning’s new nugget of knowledge is that the Michael Jackson classic “Thriller” is often performed in (or by) churches. Seriously. Go look- there are dozens and dozens of them! Who knew?!

Here’s an example of “Thriller” being used as a promotional tool for a youth event. Pretty decent quality on this one

 

Another interesting phenomenon I noticed is the use of “Thriller” in conjunction with Christmas services. Didn’t expect those. Sometimes a “Thriller Christmas” can be high budget…

And some “Thriller Christmas” services are a bit more simplistic… but fairly hilarious (part 1 here)

 

Some are used to promote Small Groups programs…

 

And some seem to just be for the heck of it…
