I love everything weird and colorful in this world, and I try to live a life that will make the world a little better once I'm gone.

Zombies Worldwide Dance for Fun and Charity

Thrill The World is an annual event that celebrates one of the most amazing music videos ever made - Michael Jackson's Thriller. For Thrill The World, people around the globe simultaneously do the Thriller dance at local events, in hopes of breaking a world record. Last year, over twelve thousand zombies took to their feet and danced, in 29 different countries!

Anyone who has ever seen the Thriller dance knows that it is amazing, and most remark that they wish they could do the dance. The fact is you can! Once broken down into manageable chunks for learning, anyone can do the Thriller dance. From kids to teens, and adults to the undead, the Thriller dance is a ton of fun.

Each year since 2007, Thrill The World has brought people together with music, dance, and zombies, and it is growing each year. This year, Thrill the World will take place on Saturday, October 26, 2013 at 9:00 PM - GMT.

Take part in a Thrill the World event near you, and you'll be glad you did.

If there is no event scheduled near you, consider organizing one. Events are often held as charity fundraisers.
