Kaiju Kafka Makes Michael Jackson Metamorphosis

Michael Jackson’s face went through many transformations in the brief time he was with us, and his monster visage in Thriller was one of the least frightful. Leave it to a kaiju toy collector to visualize MJ’s transformation to zombie and werewolf in one of my favorite antiquated mediums: the animated .gif!

 

REdYOdA posted the pair of animations to his kaijuart blog today. If you need flashy “modern” technology like video, you can watch quicker action on his Flickr for Zombie Metamorphosis and Werewolf Metamorphosis. Quoth the kaiju Kafka: “…and there you have it folks…28 more seconds wasted on the internet YES!”
