They pulled it off — the L.A. chapter of “Thrill the World” performed the Thriller dance on Saturday in front of crowds at Hollywood and Highland. And as you can see above, they did a pretty good job.
The LA Weekly was there, and files an extensive report. A highlight:
This Los Angeles chapter of “Thrill the World ’08″ — across the globe, dances in 91 cities in 12 countries took place the same day — was up and at ‘em at an hour that ought to make the dead crawl back into their tombs and whimper. In an attempt to hold the world record for the most people to do the “Thriller” dance at one time, dozens of aspiring zombie strutters gathered in the bowels of the shopping complex’s garage — level 6E to be exact — with coffee and donuts, makeup and hairspray, costumes and boomboxes to pump up, dress up, and get in last minute practice.
Just before 11 a.m., they began the lurch up to the bright plaza and took their places to the initial bewilderment, and giddy delight of wandering shoppers and tourists.
