Quick answer

Starrd's Thriller templates put you in the Thriller zombie dance from one photo. Thriller Dance makes you the lead in the red jacket on a moonlit street with the zombie crowd dancing behind you (1 photo, 30 seconds, 250 credits). Thriller Dance Duo puts you and a friend, or two pets, back to back in red leather jackets doing the head snaps and the deep lunge (2 photos, 30 seconds, 250 credits). Thriller Pets turns your pet into a little vampire in a cape and red bow tie leading the zombie crowd (1 photo, 9 seconds, 125 credits).
