Though not strictly a Halloween song, “Thriller” has all the ingredients—spooky setting, well-choreographed zombies, great costumes, and a big fright—at least for Michael Jackson’s girl. So in light of the season, I bring you a “Thriller” reanimation of Frankensteinian proportions, courtesy of the lovely and talented Petra Haden (who previously did an entire acapella reimagining of The Who Sell Out). She really belts it out on this one—if you’re at all a Petra Haden fan, you need this.
