Zombies Set To Thrill All Over The World With Michael Jackson’s Thriller!
October 24, 2014

Sources: Get Surray – By Laura Nightingale| Edited By – All Things Michael

Scare yourself silly this Halloween by dancing like a zombie, dressing up like a zombie or going to the theatre and watching other zombies swallow swords and throw knives!

People in cities across the globe are gearing up to be part of Thrill the World, an official world record attempt for the largest annual dance performance on Saturday (October 25) in aid of the NSPCC and SOS Children’s Villages.

The undead dancing in the UK capital will be synchronising their feet with thousands of other zombies in other cities including Hong Kong, Toronto, Los Angeles, Salvador, New York, Melbourne, Kigali and Antigua.

To take part, get yourself zombied-up and catch a train to Covent Garden where you can dance with grizzly ghouls from every corner of the earth at 10pm.

Thousands Gather For Lexington’s Annual Recreation Of Michael Jackson’s Thriller Short Film
October 27, 2014

On a dark but not stormy Sunday night, 1,000 zombies danced in the streets of downtown Lexington.

An estimated 20,000 observers gasped and groaned as they watched the Thriller Parade, the fright night spectacular that USA Today calls a Top 10 Halloween destination in the United States.

It was the 13th annual re-creation of Michael Jackson’s Thriller music video. The 13-minute video, voted the most influential pop music video of all time, premiered on MTV on Dec. 2, 1983, and has become a cult favorite.

After a Halloween parade that featured 15 entries ranging from Ghostbusters to a Day of the Dead altar float and a host of ghosts, ghouls, superheroes, villains and other costumed characters, seven Michael Jackson imitators led the army of “zombies” down the Main Street.

Before the parade began, “doctor zombie” Eryn Dailey and “cowgirl zombie” Calista Case, 10, both of Lexington lay in pseudo slumber in front of the Metro Government Center.

Although the evening’s zombies were told to grunt, not talk, Dailey said that in real life she is Calista’s nanny. “This is a chance for us to laugh together and have good girl talk,” she said.

Among those in the large crowd were Doug and Kirsten Winkler of Winchester.

They were celebrating their third wedding anniversary in a Beetlejuice sort of way.

“We love Halloween, so we thought we had to go to our first Thriller,” he said.

The event was a ghastly production of Lexington Parks and Recreation, Mecca Live Studio and WRFL, the University of Kentucky’s student-run FM radio station.

Flowers at Holly Terrace for Michael Jackson - All Saints Day - All Hallow's Day

I just wanted to say how much I loved all these posts of the flash mobs and events. And the flowers at Forest Lawn are just GORGEOUS!!
I had a great Halloween-but no video. But I sat on the porch with my "Thriller" cassette blasting from my ancient boombox over and over-and the kids were all darling. I was shocked at many-mainly under 6 yrs-screamed out "Michael Jackson" or "Michael Jackson is my favorite singer". They all got extra candy.:D

Halloween at FL 2014 #MichaelJackson #KINGofHearts
 
Chart News @chartnews · 8h 8 hours ago
US digital sales: Thriller, @michaeljackson 39,000 (3,689,000 total).

Chart News @chartnews · 8h 8 hours ago
Billboard Hot 100: #35(re) Thriller, @michaeljackson.



Michael Jackson's “Thriller” re-enters the chart at 35, due to its annual Halloween resurgence. The song sold 39K digital copies in the week ending Nov. 2, bringing its total to 3,689,000. Jackson was a shrewd career strategist, but I doubt even he knew he was creating a Halloween perennial when he cut this song in 1982.

Great thread. ^^The 3 million total relates to what? Is it digital copies sold from January to November?
