Sleeping Dogs Thriller Reference - Soulixius - 10-28-2014
In the ending of Sleeping Dogs' "Nightmare in North Point" DLC, Not Ping agrees to finish her date with Wei Shen. As they walk away from the cemetery, she looks at the player with flashing light blue eyes and the laughter of the antagonist, Smiley Cat, is heard. This is a nod to Michael Jackson's "Thriller" where Michael takes his girlfriend home and then looks at the audience with his werewolf eyes along with a creepy laughter being heard in the background.
Now here's the video of the ending of Nightmare in North Point:

And here's the ending of Thriller:

If this is not an obvious reference, then I don't know what is. Especially since Thriller is very iconic.
