In a way, this photo makes sense. The year we were gifted with Michael Jackson’s seminal album Thriller (and the epic zombie dance that became a Halloween party staple), we were also introduced to E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial. The 1982 Stephen Spielberg masterpiece changed the way we look at alien flicks.

The weirdness in this snap is actually pretty heart-warming. It’s like two kindred spirits finally found each other. Jackson never fully felt understood, just like our favorite friendly alien. We’re not even totally sure Jackson was of this planet. He did coin the moon walk move, after all. That has to count for something.
