The actual house used for the Thriller video
by Charles Canovas
It´s that time of the year when young and old can actually have fun with scary stories, parties, dressing up or down pretending we are 9 years old. Halloween is just about the most liberating holiday there is. No presents to buy or give, no relatives to invite, no lavish meals to prepare. On this day and night, we get to banish the immemorial fears of humanity of witches, werewolves and things that go bump in the night by enjoying a day of festivity, laughter and above all creativity to dismiss the darkness and ignorance of ages gone past.
To get you in the mood, a bit of music and then a couple of great places to put on your computer or TV screen to make it all come to life. For more of these channels on YouTube just type in “Halloween ambiance”. There are loads of all different kinds.
