You can film the Thriller dance trend yourself in three steps, below. Or skip filming: vtrends puts you into one of these videos from one photo of your face, for $9 per video, ready in about 15 minutes.

How to film the Thriller dance trend

  1. Learn the hook. Watch the top videos on the trend’s sound at 0.5× speed; most people film only the shuffle, the claw hands and the shoulder pops.
  2. Dress the part. A costume or zombie make-up is half the video. Low, moody light helps.
  3. Frame head to knees. Phone at chest height, about two metres away, so the arm moves stay in shot.
  4. Avoid this. Bright overhead light. It flattens the make-up and the spooky mood.

Don’t want to film it?

Pick any video below, add one photo of your face, and get the same video with you in it, original sound included. $9 per video, no account, rerun or refund if it fails.

Questions

What is the Thriller dance trend?

The zombie choreography from Thriller, usually in costume or Halloween make-up. It is one of the formats people are copying on TikTok right now; the examples above have 1.7m views between them.

Can I do the Thriller dance trend without filming it?

Yes. Pick one of the examples, upload a clear photo of your face, and vtrends renders the same video with you in it. Outfit and location photos are optional. Your video renders after you unlock it.

How much does it cost?

Setting it up is free. The finished video is $9 with a small watermark or $19 without. It is a one-time payment, not a subscription.

Will it look exactly like me?

It works best with a sharp, front-facing photo in good light. Fast spins, faces turned away and heavy face paint are harder, and the result can look less like you in those moments. If a render clearly doesn’t show you, we rerun or refund it.

Are these the original videos?

Yes. They are public TikTok posts, credited and linked to each creator. Your version is a new video generated with your face; the original creator’s video is not changed.
