Live Shot Video: Michael Jackson's Thriller shuts down Gottingen

No mere mortal can resist that zombie shoulder-shrug move.

Posted by Sue Carter Flinn on Sun, Nov 1, 2009 at 1:26 PM

Not the first time the undead have taken over Gottingen, but we'll never see this again. In the Dead of Winter's annual fundraiser, For the Dead, is a musical exorcism, bringing the Carter Cashes, Patsy Cline, Dusty Springfield, Roy Orbison and more back to life for just one awesome night.

It's close to midnight and the party spills out on the street...

Kym Butler and all the IDOW organizers deserve a huge treat...
