Similar to Mighty Monsterwheelies, Sing: Thriller is an all-new animated short where the main cast of SING attends Clay Calloway's Halloween party, only to discover that the multi-colored ooze transformed Clay and his guests into "dancing freaks."
It is worth mentioning that the flick is based on Michael Jackson's hit song Thriller from his 1982 album, where the music video had a similar concept.
