Of course, the king of all monster songs has to be Michael Jackson's Thriller. In what year was this pop culture phenomenon and perennial Halloween anthem first released?

"'Cause this is thriller, thriller night. And no one's gonna save you from the beast about to strike." Classic. Released as a single by Epic Records in 1983 in the UK, and 1984 in the U.S., Thriller was inspired by Jackson's love of film, specifically the horror genre. The tune and lyrics call upon scary sounds including thunder, footsteps, wind, howling, and even a voiceover performed by legendary horror actor Vincent Price.
