Thrill the World is an annual event where people around the world gather to dance a slightly altered version of Michael Jackson's Thriller.  (See video below.) 

On Oct. 24 they will attempt to once again break the world record for simultaneous dancing to Thriller.  Six Bay Area locations have been announced where families can join in the fun, make memories and possibly make history.

Last year on Oct. 25 people from 10 nations (Australia, Canada, England, Germany, Ireland, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, New Zealand, Scotland, United States of America, and Wales) participated.  The final count was 4,179, landing them a spot in the Guinness World Records Book.

Dance instruction videos are included on the website, with the assurance it can be mastered in two hours.

GREEN Tip:

Terror4Fun says you can make a homemade version of "blood" by mixing maple syrup with red, blue & yellow food color.  They recommend adding it to hair gel to make thickened blood and to smashed  bananas to make brains.  Get Terror4Fun's free guides to zombie make-up 1 and 2.
