John Landis directed the fourteen minute film that came out on 2 December 1983 and cost about half a million dollars, and the part everyone can still do from memory was shot here, in the roadway of Union Pacific Avenue just west of the Calzona Street corner. Michael Peters choreographed the ghouls and danced in them. In 2009 the Library of Congress put it in the National Film Registry as the first music video ever selected, calling it the most famous music video of all time.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
