Thrill the World from Austin, TX

Last Saturday, a group of Austinites sought to come together in pop-culture solidarity to beat the world record for most people doing the Michael Jackson Halloween hit "Thriller" in one area. Although many of the participants were barely old enough to walk when the song first came out in 1983, hundreds of people participated in both this year's event and last year's. While nobody can do it like MJ, dancers of all skill levels are clearly having a great time. Check out their moves:



You can also visit www.thrilltheworld.com to learn the dance and rock out your Halloween parties this weekend. Have fun and be safe!
