when 'Thriller' is not enough dancing skeletons - classicdrogn - 06-04-2026
you cue up The Necromancer Boogie by Dominik Witka

Since it's specifically and repeatedly called out in the lyrics, the undead animated by this one might keep going until the next day rather than only for the duration of the song, but if so they probably can only be given orders while it's playing and then follow them until the dawn - or possibly they can only dance and don't interact in any other way regardless. Still a very good distraction, but not actually threatening in the sense of applied violence.

Belated thought: Thriller is also already pretty long in song and in V&V combat terms, so if the title is the rationale Doug's subconscious is going by to match a power to the song, all the more reason to be a fire-and-forget that animates (or more likely, adapts his simulacra ability to conjure them rather than needing actual remains or raiding the afterlife for ghosts etc.) and imbues them with enough energy to last until dawn (as a thematically appropriate limit, and don't ask me how it works if he's on a space ship/station or the temperate shadow-band of a world that's tidally locked to its sun.)
