Michael Jackson Instagram – Director Guillermo del Toro is known for making films with fantastic mythical creatures and cites “Thriller” as an early inspiration. He tells the Hollywood reporter: “It was only as a teenager, and watching ‘Making of Michael Jackson’s Thriller’, that I realized that the people actually making these monsters were not the men I saw in the old books in lab coats. It’s young guys with long hair and rock ’n’ roll shirts, who I could relate to.”
