when 'Thriller' is not enough dancing skeletons

[classicdrogn]

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.)
