I also agree with B.Lily, this should be like a mandatory thing they have to do, like chow time. “without a soul for getting down”

"Face the hounds of hell" indicates eternal damnation for those who lack soul, and the hell they face is the zombie-style hell of "rot(ting) inside a corpse's shell." The situation, I think, is that people who lack soul (bad dancers) go to Hell when they die, and are forced to walk the Earth as zombies. Which makes sense to me. "cause this is thriller, thriller night" On the "thriller night" the bad dancers rise from the dead to demonstrate the Thriller dance, so as to warn the living against bad dancing (and to eat bad dancers), and provide the general public with a template for good dancing. “And whosoever shall be found
Without the soul for getting down
Must stand and face the hounds of hell
And rot inside a corpses shell”

Anyhoo, the real twist shows up when it's revealed that MJ's character in the movie is Price's nephew and the alpha male of the pack, having taken the position from Price himself. Or something. So long as the girlfriend doesn't end up being part of a sparkly vampire troop, anything is acceptable to me. If only I had video of that kid in my classroom…
