Zombies Invade Maine on Thursday

For the 6th year, halloween hoofers from Avant Dance and Event Center will infect the Portland peninsula with awesome choreography, absolutely gruesome make-up, and creepy costumes.

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.

It's the annual Thriller Throwdown to get us in the spirit of Halloween! The thrillah chillah flash mob strikes fear once again into the heart of Portland on October 25 from 5:30-6:00. For many years, the dead man's party has been on Monument Square. This time the Thriller Throwdown is on Congress Square for the second year.

And it looks like we won't need umbrellas this year. There's no rain in the forecast. We might need them to guard against flying body parts though...ah, ha, ha, ha!
