Hundreds gather at mall for Thriller dance

Tuesday night 320 students from the Toledo School for the Arts got into zombie mode.

When you think Michael Jackson and Halloween you think Thriller. Tuesday night 320 students from the Toledo School for the Arts got into zombie mode.

They learned the steps and packed Westfield Franklin park mall for a showstopper, all thanks to a brainstorming teacher.

Toledo School for the Arts Artistic Director David Saygers says, "We like to do these things called art attacks and thought it would be fun to do a zombie attack."

By coincidence, Tuesday night the Cinema De Lux held a 9:30 premiere of Michael Jackson's final concert film. Sony Pictures scooped up the rehearsal footage after Jackson's death for $60 million. The film is opening worldwide, with 15,000 prints headed around the globe.

In Toledo hundreds lined up to see Jackson's final bow. The movie is supposed to have a limited two-week run. Of course, that could change if fans keep lining up.

Also see their dance on YouTube.
