‘Glee” is preparing a “Thriller” of an episode.

The cast of the hit Fox show will perform Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” in their post-Super Bowl episode, according to ew.com.

The song, though, will be performed as a “mash-up” — it’ll be combined with another song that hasn’t yet been chosen.

The “Glee” episode in question won’t be a Michael Jackson tribute episode, but will focus “on the local football championship and Sue Sylvester’s cheerleading regionals,” says ew.com, alluding to the snarky cheerleading coach played by Jane Lynch.

The “Thriller” mash-up will air during halftime of that local football championship, according to the report.

The episode will include music by the Black Eyed Peas, Lady Antebellum and Katy Perry. It’s also expected that Darren Criss, who plays Blaine, and Dot-Marie Jones, who plays Coach Beiste, will appear in the episode — which will air following Super Bowl XLV(Feb. 6).
