OTTAWA, Ont – Just in time for Halloween, a flash mob will break into Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” dance somewhere in the capital this weekend.

The event is being organized by the Shenkman Arts Centre, where on Wednesday, 40 people of all ages practiced their zombie dance moves.

“It seems very complicated, but its actually a series of basic steps,” Arts Centre Programmer Allison O’Connor told 1310News. “It’s really fun because you get to act as a zombie as you are dancing.”

The flash mob will perform between noon and 2 p.m. on Saturday, but the location is being kept a secret.
