**Dylan the Thriller Dylanus**
*In the style of Michael Jackson's "Thriller," the scene opens with an eerie spotlight that throws long shadows across the stage of the Great Dylanusland Theater. It's packed tonight with friends and enthusiasts excited for a thrilling musical experience. The lights dim, and a hush falls over the audience. Dylan and Emma sit together in the front row, holding hands as the curtains draw open to reveal the night's sinister plot.*
**(Opening Scene Song)**
```markdown
[intro music starts]
"It's close to midnight and something evil's lurking in the dark..."
```
*An assortment of talking vegetables—including Maximus—emerge on stage, with Jessica and Black soon dressed as mad scientists and their bizarre creations. They sing the iconic opening lines, but with a twist—melons and pumpkins replace ghosts and goblins in their playful menagerie.*
**On Stage**
```
Pumpkin: "It's close to midnight, and something evil's lurking in the dark..."
Lemon: "Under the moonlight, You see a sight that almost stops your heart..."
Lilly: "Oh, man."
Chorus: "You try to scream, But terror takes the sound before you make it... You start to freeze... As horror looks you right between the eyes, You're paralyzed"
Lilly: "You hear the door slam, And realize there's nowhere left to run."
Maximus (Carrot): "You feel the cold hand, And wonder if you'll ever see the sun."
Jessica (Mad Scientist): "You close your eyes, And hope that this is just imagination, girl"
Maximus: "Yeah! Hahaha!"
Lilly, Maximus, and Jessica: "But all the while, You hear a creature creepin' up behind, You're out of time"
Together (with the Chorus): "'Cause this is thriller, Thriller night!
"There ain't no second chance, Against the thing with the forty eyes, girl!
"Thriller, thriller night!"
"You're fighting for your life, Inside a killer, thriller tonight!"
Black (Phantom): "Night creatures callin', The dead start to walk in their masquerade!"
Jessica and Black: "There's no escaping the jaws of the alien this time,"
"They're open wide,"
"This is the end of your life!"
```
*In an exaggerated theatrical tone, Jessica and Black take center stage, turning their friend Lilly into a giant watermelon as the audience gasps and cheers. The madness culminates in a wild, energetic rendition of the "Thriller" choreography, ending in a standing ovation.*
**Dylan's Old Friends (whispers to each other):**
"Wow, didn't expect that!"
**Emma (to Dylan, smiling):**
"This is amazing! I love how they turned Lilly into a giant watermelon. What a twist!"
*Following this memorable act, Dylan and Emma are invited to John Collins's Halloween party by their friends. Everyone is buzzing with excitement as they head out, but Dylan is distracted by a news broadcast displaying the recent explosion at a science lab, but is then bonked in the head by the pumpkin prop.*
**Dylan (concerned):**
"That explosion looks serious. Do you think everything's okay?"
**Jessica (hastily):**
"C'mon, Dylan. We'll be late! Besides, the authorities have it under control."
*On the way to the party in Dinosauria's festively decorated truck, they come across a police blockade. An officer informs them the road is closed due to the explosion, but reassures them everyone is safe.*
**Jessica:**
"Is anyone hurt?"
**Officer:**
"Everyone's evacuated safely, but we got to clean up this glowing goo. Keep moving!"
**Dylan (nudging Black):**
"Did you see the officer's eyes? They looked... off."
*They arrive at the seemingly deserted party venue surrounded by pink-and-blue-glowing ooze. Jessica tries to ring the doorbell cheerfully, but there's no answer.*
**Jessica:**
"John, we're here! Come on out!"
*Everyone waits, the atmosphere growing more unsettling by the second. Suddenly, the lights go off, plunging everyone into darkness.
**Maximus:**
"We get it, you're sooo scary!"
**Jessica:**
"Yeah, very funny John! Wait... John?"
*Eerie, swirling eyes appear in the shadows, and the troop comes face-to-face with their zombified friends and other partygoers.*
**Dylan (whispers to Emma):**
"Emma... I think these are the party guests."
*They dart away, but the ooze has permeated the surroundings. Their formerly fun and quirky friends are now transformed into dancing zombies, making Dylan and Emma hug each other in fear, with Emma screaming in horror, as the zombies dance to the groove of the classic "Thriller."*

["Thriller" music starts]
Everyone: "Cause this is thriller, Thriller night"
"And no one's gonna save you, From the beast about to strike"
"You know it's thriller, Thriller night"
"You're fighting for your life, Inside a killer, thriller"
"Thriller, thriller night"
"Cause I can thrill you more"
"Than any ghoul would ever dare try"
"Thriller,"
Black: "Whoo-hoo!"
Everyone: "Thriller night"
"So let me hold you tight"
"And share a"
"Killer, diller, chiller"
"Thriller here tonight"
"Cause this is thriller"
"Thriller night"
"Girl, I can thrill you more"
"Than any ghoul would ever dare try"
"Thriller"
Three People: " Whoo-hoo!"
Everyone: "Thriller night"
"So let me hold you tight"
"And share a"
"Killer, thriller, oh!"
```
*The scene escalates into a zombie chase, Dylan and Emma's heartbeats syncing with the music as they're pursued. They manage to find refuge on a canoe, paddling fiercely into the river.*
**Dylan (breathless and smiles):**
"I think we made it… Phew, we're safe now."
*But as Dylan sighs in relief and smiles, a dread occurs and makes Dylan frown in horror, and out of nowhere, a massive figure with glowing eyes rises from the water—Shin Godzilla, transformed by the ooze, ready to strike.*
**Emma (screaming):**
"Dylan, look out!"
*Before the attack lands, Dylan wakes up, gasping for air, back in the theater's safety. Emma, by his side, shakes him gently.*
**Dylan (relieved):**
"Emma, what's going on?"
**Emma:**
"Dylan. You must have hit your head, since the pumpkin landed on you."
**Dylan (relieved):**
"It was just a dream… Thank goodness it's over!"
**Emma:**
"I've gotten invitations from John for his Halloween party. We must leave."
**Dylan (laughing):**
"Of course! We must go to the party. Last one is the rotten egg!"
*They prepare to leave for John's party, chatting excitedly about the fun they'll have.*
**Dylan (off-screen):**
"Come on, Emma! Please turn off the lights!"
*Emma moves to turn off the lights*
**Emma:**
"Yes, Dylan."
Her eyes briefly glow with light blue and light purple swirls, unnoticed by anyone except a nearby cockroach, whose own eyes gleam with the same eerie light before it does a sinister laugh, falling off his jack-o-lantern.*
*The camera zooms out, leaving the theater and showing the night sky with a spooky ambiance.*

(Laughter)
```
*Cue the fading music, and credits roll. "Dylan the Thriller Dylanus" has been a night they won't soon forget.*

Prompt: Write a parody of Micheal Jackson's Thriller, featuring Dylan the Dylanus (the original character made by the Deviantart user Dylan613) and Emma (Dylan's girlfriend) as the victims (and main protagonists) and both Black (Dylan's brother) and Jessica being the main singers (and zombies) of this short film, with this film being titled "Dylan the Thriller Dylanus". For Dylan's appearance, he is a 4.9 foot tall, 15 year old boy who has a lean build for his size, tan skin, medium-length brown hair (that reaches his chin, although not covering his face at all), and has green irises. He wears a dark blue hoodie, a lighter blue t-shirt underneath, and cyan wear jeans. He also has white socks underneath his black tennis shoes, which have an x-shaped gray marking on each of his shoes' tongue. For Dylan's personality, he is a kind, considerate, smart, and understanding character, who is a love interest to Emma (his affectionate and understanding girlfriend) and is playful around his smarter, slightly older brother Black. Despite his small frame and being a teen, he goes in the way to protect his homeland (Dylanusland, a tropical, subtropical, and temperate island country in the Pacific Ocean on Earth) against various villains and monsters (always successful, even if some are more difficult than others). Despite these traits, he does have some flaws, such as his intolerance to swearing (which aren't present in his homeland, and he gets offended by swear words and he never swears at all, not saying any of the bad words, not even one time, and he does not saying even the mildest swear words (he would never say any actual bad language); for example, instead of saying an f-bomb word, Dylan says "meatsticks". He is also quite weak without superpowers (which he actually does not have and only obtains them when using special devices), and has fear of vampires and demons alike since he views them as nothing more than pure evil monsters. Here is the plot for this short film; Dylan's old friends from his home in (located in northwestern Dylanusland) and new friends from the city of Blueside (located in southeastern Dylanusland) are among the crowd that come to the Great Dylanusland Theater to watch a spooky musical, in which Lilly is approached by talking vegetables (which are just actors), including one played by Maximus, and (just part of the show) turned into a giant watermelon by mad scientists Jessica and Black. They sing Thriller all throughout, as the show ends with the audience cheering. After the show, Dylan's troupe invites him to John Collins's Halloween party, which Dylan accepts. As he prepares to leave, he gets distracted by a news broadcast discussing a laboratory that has been destroyed in a mysterious explosion. He then flinches as several pumpkins fall from a shelf, and one hits him on the head before Jessica reminds him to come with them. On their way to John's house in Dinosauria's truck, they are stopped by an officer who informs them that the road is closed due to an explosion and leak at the science lab. Jessica asks if anyone is hurt, but the officer assures her everyone has been safely evacuated. Dylan asks about the flood of glowing pink-and-blue ooze that has been sectioned off in front of them, but the officer knows nothing about it. As the troupe drives off, the officer steps in some of the ooze, and his eyes start glowing with light blue and light purple swirls as he goes into a trance. When the troupe arrives to the party, they find the place is well-decorated, but no one else is around, and the ooze can be seen spreading through the property. Jessica excitedly rings John's doorbell, but he doesn't answer, and all the lights suddenly go out, creating an uneasy atmosphere. Black and Maximus convince everyone that they are just being pranked, but when Jessica looks through John's door's mail slot to try to find him, she is suddenly met with his glowing eyes (which are light blue and light purple swirls). The troupe jumps back in shock, and everyone except Dylan and Emma come into contact with the ooze. The other party guests (humans, dylanuses, cat-people, humanoid turtles, giant rat-men, large humanoid birds, and many other civilized inhabitants of Dylanusland) come out, also in a zombie-like state with glowing eyes (with light blue and light purple swirls, like all other party guests who got into contact with the ooze). John, Lilly, Jessica, Black, and Maximus become afflicted as well, and Dylan and Emma watch in fear (with Emma screaming) as everyone sings and dances to Thriller. They run as the zombies begin to chase them, and escape onto a canoe and paddle away from the house. Dylan, relieved, deems them safe, when Shin Godzilla (with its eyes glowing due to Shin Godzilla having been afflicted by the ooze) suddenly come out of the water and prepare to slam down on the two. These events are revealed to have just been a dream, as Dylan wakes up screaming, back in the theater. Emma says he must have hit his head, and asks if he is well enough to go to John's party. Happy to have woken up from his nightmare, Dylan races to meet everyone else and go. However, as Emma turns off the lights, her eyes glow and she walks away in a trance as a cockroach with glowing eyes appears nearby giving an evil laugh before falling off of his jack-o-lantern. There should also be quotes from the characters in this story so we know what they're saying and what they're thinking. There should also be lyrics to the song Thriller in this parody, one for the Great Dylanusland Theater beginning of this short film and the other during the zombie dance part of this short film, being the same lyrics as Michael Jackson's version of Thriller. This short film would be rated PG for mild peril and some scary imagery.
