Michael Jackson’s Thriller from the woman’s point of view is a lesson for all daters
Stand-up comedian, Roy Wood Jr, has been wondering for a while how the date night depicted in Thriller might have seemed from the perspective of the woman, actress Ola Ray. Luckily for us, he decided that a tweet thread was the best medium for explaining her reaction.
This is how it began.

We’re all familiar with how the video pans out – with the creepy werewolf scenario at the start.
“Aiight so boom. we riding in his car. and he run out of gas. WHO THE HELL RUN OUTTA GAS? I thought he was trying to find a quite place to try and get some ass, but I guess he saw that bonnet on my head and knew I was a Christian.” pic.twitter.com/B5XcND9cqc

Now, in the video, there’s a reveal that the opening footage has simply been the horror film being watched by the couple, but no such thing happens in Roy’s version.

And she has some criticism for the venue and general location of their date.
