Did anyone else notice the Motown 25 jacket on Michael while he’s watching a horror movie?

Ik some people were complaining about the timeline discrepancies and how the Thriller video only came later on in the albums promo cycle after Beat It and Billie Jean had their moments. Is it possible that the Motown 25 arch was supposed to be longer and weave into the creation of the Thriller video? My theory is that the focus would have been Michael’s disappointment in his performance, and while he was sulking alone watching his comfort movies, MJ would get the inspiration to do the music video and use it as an outlet for his love of horror and perfection.
