A zombie flashmob will perform Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” dance on the streets of the Short North next month

You may have witnessed a flashmob at some point in your life, but we’re willing to bet it didn’t involve zombies.

On October 28, you will in fact have a chance to take in a zombie flashmob, as Danceville, U.S.A plans to hold its 9th annual flashmob performance of Michael Jackson’s iconic “Thriller” on High Street in the Short North.

While a part of the fun of flashmobs is the aspect of not knowing exactly when or where they’re occurring, we feel like it’s fine to cheat in this instance. According to a press release, the performance will take place in front of The Graduate Hotel around 10 p.m.

Danceville USA offers a class dedicated to the performance, although enrollment in the course is currently closed.
