"thriller" & halloween = made for each other

with halloween being tomorrow, who cannot think of the video "thriller"? i think out of all of michael's work, that is still my all time fave. call me partial. until i ran across an article talking about the behind the scenes making of it, i had forgotten this. rick baker did the makeup for thriller. a guy i knew growing up, from houston, steven johnson, he worked for rick baker on that video. steve's grandmother, dorothy, was a best friend to my mom. here are some links for you:

i had even shared steve's apt in california with another artist friend of his (sorry, i cannot recall her name); she was subletting his place while he was in the uk working on his first major film "an american werewolf in london" back in 1981.  

happy halloween everyone.

So the guy is pretty good to say the least. What I think is interesting is that he had a project every year since 1994, but nothing in 2009.

So this Ricky guy has done huge make-up jobs on Michael...and has worked consistently from 1994 to now with the exception of 2009.  I wonder if he needed that time off to create a multitude of disguises for Mike?  Hatman, Dave Dave as examples.  

And very interesting that Eliza wrote what she did.  I wonder if her half-brother has ever used Mr. Baker's services?
