Thriller Throwdown

Zombies ruled Monument Square in Portland, Maine, recently. Watch the video of the "Thriller" dance here.

It began as a small flash mob in Portland's Monument Square in 2012, and has grown to include over 100 dancers that draw big crowds each year before Halloween.

Every Halloween season a horde of zombies from Avant Dance in Westbrook converge to "terrorize y'all's neighborhood" at Congress Square Park in Portland. The dance team recreates the undead choreography seen in the legendary video for Michael Jackson's "Thriller"

When we get out work on Thursday, dozens of zombies will be bustin' out some sick moves recreating Michael Jackson's historic 1983 "Thriller" video.

For the 5th year, zombies from Avant Dance and Event Center invaded the Portland peninsula. During rush hour yesterday, dozens of local dancers busted out wicked sick moves recreating Michael Jackson's historic 1983 video.

When we get out work tonight, dozens of zombies will once again be bustin' out sick moves recreating Michael Jackson's historic 1983 video.

For the 4th year, dancers from Avant Dance and Event Center infected Monument Square with awesome choreography, absolutely gruesome make-up and costumes.
