The whole dance, move for move

Your pet stands up on its hind legs and hits every beat: the arm swings, the claw hands, the side steps and the deep bow near the end, in one continuous shot, with its two costumed backup kittens dancing right beside it.

Pets first, people too

Keep it on Pet for a cat, a dog or any furry friend: it keeps its own face, fur and markings and dances with round furry paws. Switch to Person and you lead the backup kittens yourself, with your own face and hair.

Dybt dyk

The Thriller dance is the Halloween classic that never stays buried. In October 2026 it came back as a short, punchy routine: swing the arms, curl the hands into claws, shuffle side to side, drop into a deep bow and pop back up. Then the AI versions arrived, with a kitten in a red leather jacket leading a skeleton kitten and a ghost kitten through the moves, and everyone wanted their own pet in that jacket.

This template makes your version from one photo. Your cat or dog stands up on its hind legs, puts on the red leather jacket and red trousers, and leads the two costumed kittens through the whole dance in a foggy graveyard under a full moon, lit by jack-o'-lanterns. Rather dance it yourself? Pick Person and take the lead spot.

The result is a 15-second vertical clip, ready to post for Halloween. For the best likeness, use a clear, well-lit photo with only one pet or one person in it, ideally showing the whole body.

For the full walkthrough, with what happens in the 15 seconds, which photos work best and why the people version turns into a big-head chibi, read our guide: How to make your own Thriller dance video.

Ofte stillede spørgsmål

What is the Thriller dance AI trend?+

Every October the zombie dance from Thriller comes back, and in 2026 it took off as a short routine: arm swings, claw hands and side steps, then a deep bow before the dancers pop back up. AI versions starring kittens in a red leather jacket, a skeleton suit and a ghost sheet followed, and now everyone wants their own pet in the lead.

Does it work with dogs, or only cats?+

Both. Cats, dogs and other furry pets all work. Your pet takes the lead spot in the red leather jacket and keeps its own breed, face, fur and markings, while the two costumed kittens dance beside it. Pets vary more from run to run than people, so if one result misses, generate again.

Can I be the dancer instead of my pet?+

Yes. Pick Person and upload a clear photo of yourself. You lead the dance in the red leather jacket, with your own face and hair, and the skeleton and ghost kittens dance beside you.

Will it look like my pet?+

Recognizably yours: breed, face, fur colour and markings carry over, though not hair for hair. Use one sharp, well-lit photo with only your pet in it, ideally showing the whole body.

Where does the dance take place?+

In a foggy graveyard at night under a full moon, with crooked tombstones, bare trees and glowing jack-o'-lanterns along a wet stone path, filmed in one continuous shot.

How long is the video, and what shape?+

Fifteen seconds, 9:16 vertical. It renders at 480p by default, or 720p if you choose it.

How many credits does it cost?+

180 credits at 480p and 271 credits at 720p.

Is this an official Thriller product?+

No. This is an unofficial template inspired by the Halloween trend. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by the owners of Thriller or any creator behind the trend.
