Michael Jackson's Thriller - Easter Eggs & Hidden Details

Easter Eggs

During the movie theater scene, one of the characters in the on-screen film says, "See you next Wednesday."

This is a recurring inside joke and Easter egg in director John Landis's films. He includes the phrase, which is the title of a screenplay he wrote as a teenager, in most of his movies, including "An American Werewolf in London," "The Blues Brothers," and "Trading Places."
