What album could possibly fit Halloween better than Thriller? This October, fans of Michael Jackson and music lovers in general, will have the chance to experience the Thriller album like never before, as Pathé Cinemas across the Netherlands host “Sound Sessions: Michael Jackson – Thriller” from 23 October to 1 November 2025.
In this unique listening event, Pathé invites you to take a seat in one of their cinemas, put on an eye mask, and let yourself be completely immersed in sound. With your vision limited, every beat, whisper, and groove from Thriller becomes even more intense, transforming one of the most iconic albums of all time into a deeply personal and cinematic audio experience.
Released in 1982, Thriller not only confirmed Michael Jackson’s status as the undisputed King of Pop, but also redefined what pop music could be. Blending soul, funk, rock, and pop, the album produced timeless hits such as “Billie Jean,” “Beat It,” and, of course, “Thriller”, the ultimate Halloween anthem. Over four decades later, Thriller continues to set the standard for artistry, innovation, and sonic perfection.
The Pathé Sound Sessions series celebrates legendary albums and new releases by offering listeners an opportunity to rediscover music in a way that goes beyond traditional playback. The focus is entirely on the sound, no visuals, no distractions, just pure music, in the high-quality acoustics of a cinema environment.
This Halloween season, it’s time to close your eyes and step into the dark — not for fright, but for Thriller.
