Michael Jackson was perhaps the reason Rockwell's "Somebody's Watching Me" was a hit song

Having just watched Michael Jackson's "Thriller" video on YouTube, I then decided to rewatch on YT the video of a song in which he sang the refrain "I always feel like somebody's watching me...", this one by Rockwell. Rockwell is the son of Motown Records founder Berry Gordy and he was friends with one-time Motown artist MJ who agreed to help him by singing background vocals on this song. The video depicts Rockwell alone in his apartment taking a shower while various weird things and beings are inhabiting his place of residence. So he steps out to investigate. Quite atmospheric though not completely scary but still pretty entertaining, just the same. Recommended.

The horror genre features stories that aim to elicit fear, suspense, and a sense of dread in its audience. Horror stories often explore themes related to the unknown, the supernatural, and the macabre, and they frequently evoke strong emotional reactions such as anxiety, terror, and unease.

The music genre features stories showcasing musical performances, music-related documentaries and recordings of live concerts and music festivals.
