NEW WORLD RECORD

What’s the problem with the hour? Polish guys (we in Warsaw and Cracow) danced 2.30 AM this year. We will be dancin’ 6.30 AM next year, personally I think that this will be better. Think of the others also. What is inconvenient to you, may be more convenient to the others. I will wait for the year, when Europe will be dancin’ in the day....

Julie: Fort Worth, TX: I believe that the convenient time should rotate around the world and the truly dedicated will show up to dance regardless of the hour. There were folks dancing in Zimbabwe at 3:30 am on sunday morning when I was dancing at 7:30 pm on Saturday night. It worked out good for me this year and next year I am willing to sacrifice to make another record! Count me in regardless of the hour! That’s the whole point!

Hey guys and girls,

I read your comments and i understand the problem with next year but common its still possible maybe in some cases and countries its really difficult but 4.30 is manageable!

dont you think one time a year doing something for mj and make the world a unity through dance

IT POSSIBLE TO SLEEP IN ADVANCE SOME HOURS AND GET UP TWO HOURS BEFORE ITS START OR GET MORE SLEEP THE NIGHT BEFORE OR SLEEP IMMDIATELY AFTER THAT Its early Sunday hours and its also possible to sleep after the event and in case of kids if they are not to small they could sleep in advance also as the adults could do.

If we all really wanna take part again it should be manageable to somehow plan everybodys slepp before or after, its not as if it would be on a weekday at least in Europe!

I dont mean it in a bad way i say it with love,
but for something special there is some sacrifice and effort needed and we need to be motivated to keep this great event up!!!

Think about it i think i didnt say anything wrong just wanted to point out the possiblity and that it can be possible. Our group also consists of kids and grown ups everybody with differnt life agendas but still we are already planning for next year. Its like MJ said if you really stay together and you really want you can do anything....

Warm greetings to everyone from Germany....

I think PEI will not have the interest in 2010 with our time at 1:30 am Sunday.  It will change the entire nature of the event and will probably have a difficult time in finding a venue at that time, unless we tie it into another event.  We will also loose all our young zombies!  I understand the principle of the idea, but think it will be alot more difficult for us at this time, and we were hoping to build on this years numbers!

Hi Aaron,
I totally agree with you for the time, 4.30 am is really early…
It’s not good for Europe and Africa.
It will be almost impossible to Thrill the World next year…
I’ve made a suggestion to Ines: to divide the times : 4.30am for the US (as she planned) and 4.30pm (saturday the 23th) for Europe and Africa…
Didn’t get any answers yet....
Take care
Delphine from Brittany - France

Do you not think 04.30 is a bit early? Try and balance it up, if you were to put it at 1.30, then yeah 01.30 in ireland, ~ 7pm america and 7am australia it would work a bit better i would believe

Thank you to the Creator. Please continue to bless, guide, and protect us all.  Thank you to Michael Jackson.  You are divine.  Without you this phenomenon would not exist.  You live Forever - we will never let you die.  We love you.

Thank you Ines for having the courage to get up and start something like this...and keep it going.  You have disproved your own disbelief in the “no pain - no gain” theory.  I’ll see you in zombie physio.

Thank you to every single member of the funky zombie family worldwide.  Thank you to the London funky zombie family who picked my funky fingers up when they dropped to the ground.  Literally.  Your hard work and dedication still brings Ms. gRoss to tears.  I never thought I could ever be beaten in a mad-off, but...you guys won...this round… Thank you to every single member of the global team - hard work - this year was a grueling one, but we did it!  .

Thank you to each and every one of our supporters just so many to mention around the world and here in London…

HMV, Danceworks, University of Westminster Student Union, Planet Hollywood, Cineworld, Corks, and all the Angels that kept me going by motivating me, challenging me, and lifting me up each time my heart became consumed by the event of June 25th. 

Special thanks to Quincy Jones and Oprah Winfrey.  Your support means a lot to the funky zombie nation.

We are on the rise - We plan on terrorizing every neighbourhood to teach humans a lesson and show them the steps to immortal love and funk.

Michael Jackson’s Thriller IS the Greatest Dance on Earth.  Learn the Dance.  Thrill the World.

Forever Michael,

Thrill the World London

What a blast my sister and I had learning the dance and participating in this event.  A group of about 237 participated in the rain in the Banana Factory parking lot in Bethlehem, PA.  Being two of the oldest participants (49, 50) we were surprised how easy the dance was to learn.  We will be doing it again next year, hopefully with our friends and family joining us.

RIP Michael - I will miss you and your music incredibly.

A HUGE THANKS TO EVERYONE :

- My dancers
- My Mayor
- My village
- Ines
- Elsa from Toulouse…

We had a blast !
And we SOOOOO would like to keep thrilling the France…

Take care !

Our first event here and we had a great time with 44 zombies participating!  Can’t wait to do it again next year!

I was one of the many thousand that danced the Thriller Dance at the Nokia Center LA Live! Thousands of Zombies came out in force to pay the highest RESPECT to the one and only MICHAEL JACKSON the “KING OF POP”. I had the time of my life and am so THRILLED to have taken part in the making of HISTORY. My Sister Maggie, and 4 Neices and Nephews danced with us. An event to remember! Michael you will always stay in our hearts and I love you most.
Gone but never forgotten

Had a great time doing the Thriller....Iam a grandmother too....and are we really supposed to get a certificate? That would be nice too. But the event was great fun....all by it self....

My sons (ages 17 & 7) and I (age 46) danced in Piper City with 54 other amazing zombies. We had a blast and plan on making this an annual event. I’ll bet Michael was looking down from heaven and smiling at all from around the globe who paid tribute to him and raised money for all of the various charities. We need to get the word out about this event so more people know about it (I didn’t know until 2 weeks before it was going to take place). I think so many more people would participate if they knew. Thanks Ines, for making your vision become reality. And Thanks Lynn for bringing Thrill The World to Piper City--you are awesome.

I just want to thank all the dancers and faculty participants at Montgomery HS in Santa Rosa, CA, for putting this event together.  There was a lot of behind-the-scenes work required and GINA.....you are awesome!!

This was the most awesome thing that I have ever done!  It was so much fun, an amazing memory.  I am going to do this every year!

I didn’t get mine either!

My son and I have not recieved any certificate yet. Didi we not set the record?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hJiGZ-vnLZA

Let me tell ya, I have always wanted to learn the Thriller dance and this was the perfect excuse to do so. So muh fun. RIP Michael.

Unless you participated, it’s hard to describe the energy and the satisfaction of being part of a huge event.  Also ‘thrilled’ that I was the only grandmother (61 yrs. old) who was willing to put vanity aside.  If my body doesn’t fall apart, I will definitely participate 2010!

We thrilled the world too in France, in St Orens (near Toulouse, South West of the country). It was an amazing experience, we met great people and had great fun dancing !
Thanks again Ines and thanks to all my fellow organisers, my fellow dancers and to the other french city that danced with us : Gourin.

Our video is online at : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wq-sXVzDvAg

Take all good care !

Elsa

So happy to see that we set a world record.  I was one of 156 people that danced at Discovery Kingdom in Vallejo, CA.  We learned the routine in 2 hours the day of the event.  It was alot of fun.

What’s up! Albuquerque, NM finallly took notice of the dance and me and my family attended the first class which started out just six people. In the end, there were 198!! It was totally fun and I would like to do it again next year!!

Hey London Zombies

WOW - what a night guys!! We represented for Michael and London and had the most fantastic time....
Thanks so much Ines for all your hard work, your training videos were invaluble and very easy to follow - I know of people who learned the routine on the day of the performance!!!
Special thanks to our own Zombie Queen, Diana (G)Ross - aka Amorin, who did a wonderful job of pulling us all together to do Michael proud in a matter of hours - we are not worthy....
See you all next year ,Nightcrawlers....

I was fortunate to have learned of this event one week before it took place. I attended two seminars to learn the choreography and practiced, practiced, practiced with the YouTube video. I LOVED being part of this event! I’m a 44 year old single mother of three kids; now they know the choreography, too! Thrill the World will be a family tradition for us now for two reasons: we are long-time Michael Jackson fans and it is so awesome to be a part of something so very, very, fun! When I talked to different people about the event and what I was doing, MJ fans literally came out of the wood-work (like zombie’s)! From grandmother’s to cowboys, he was loved and the diversity of participants will continue to grow each year! Thank you for the opportunity!

I was one of the thousands that danced in Los Angeles, It was so exciting and so colorful. Full of positive energy, I also danced last year with Ines at Hollywood and Highland. Thank you Ines for starting this I lost five pounds practicing and teaching this dance, tribute to my teachers Heather and Victor. I met a lot of friends Ellen, Daisy, Daphene and all of the class in Santa Monica. It was high energy.  We also performed this Thriller dance at the half time show at the Clippers game on Halloween Oct 31, 2009. Go to youtube and check out Thrill the world Los Angeles. We had great heads Amanda and Mahdroo. I am very excited to be a part of this group and show my love for Michael Jackson.

I’ve been an event manager for 3 years and I get such joy from seeing the group I put together and the smiles on everyone’s faces. So many people are elated about doing the dance, it is such a positive experience! Our venue, The Arizona State Fair loves having us perform there as an additional entertainment for their fair goers. Many additional venues around the valley are now asking us to do Flash Mobs at their facility. Again, EVERYONE is LOVIN IT!!!

congratulations on breaking the world record, YEA!!!!!!!!

For German “Zombies”:

Zur Ehren des King of Pop hat sich Michael-Jackson-Fan Michelle etwas Besonderes ausgedacht:” Thomas, ich wette, dass Braunschweig und ich es gemeinsam schaffen, mindestens 1000 Menschen auf dem Braunschweiger Schlossplatz zu versammeln, um dort gemeinsam zu dem Michael-Jackson-Song ‘Thriller’ zu tanzen.”

Gottschalk hält dagegen - er glaubt nicht daran, dass Braunschweig zu “Thriller” zu bewegen ist: “Die Wette ist erst gewonnen, wenn die Tänzer in den typischen Zombie- oder Halloween-Kostümen oder Michael-Jackson-Outfits zu ‘Thriller’ tanzen.”

Mindestens 1000 Menschen sollen gleichzeitig zu einem von Jacksons größten Hits tanzen. Wer Michelle Hunziker bei ihrer Wette gegen Thomas Gottschalk unterstützen und live in der Sendung dabei sein möchte, sollte am Samstagabend, 7. November 2009, auf den Braunschweiger Schlossplatz kommen: Die Choreografie wird geprobt und als besonderes Highlight wird der aktuelle Kinofilm “This is it” - ein Blick hinter die Kulissen der letzten Konzertproben von Michael Jackson - exklusiv open air gezeigt.

It was so amazing to be apart of Thrill The World 2009. I had so much fun along with my sister’s Gina and Tina. We cant wait to be a part of this event next year.

it was so great to be a part of it! We all miss you MJ!

We were just five, but we thrilled also :D
You can watch us here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zMFEOzGd_8o
The soun is a little too loud, so watch out.
I liked the experience, add I hope , that we will be dancing next year also, with a lot of other people :D
All the events were great, I like the videos from Sidney and Helsinki the most, but all others i liked too.
Sorry about my poor english.

It was fun even though i didnt get the dance

I was in the Columbus, Indiana Thrill the World, and I have to say it was amazing. It was my first year and will now be a yearly thing for me! It really was so much fun! Loved it and I love Michael Jackson!

Thank you so much for the video that teaches the dance.  I never knew it would be so easy!  In Phoenix we had 174 out of 179 dancers complete the dance.  Since TTW, we have been invited to perform at tons more places and it’s been so much fun!

Here’s one flash mob link:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZS1nUmC1j4

I participated in Thrill the World:Piper City.  I had a blast.  This is my second year with this group, and I couldn’t have asked for more fun!  I just want to thank those who organized this event and all those who participated as well.  I can’t wait for next year!!!!!

I want to participate in next years “Thrill the World”

Ines, you’re amazing! This time last year I had no interest in dancing at all, that was, until, I got the DVD early this year to do “Thriller” for my Mums 50th birthday in March, I can’t stop now! I go to weekly street dance classes, any flashmob I hear of in London and even did the MTV tribute outside the Tate modern a couple of weeks ago. AND . . . in the process losing lots of weight, getting fitter, meeting people and having fun. Thank you Ines! Thank you MJ! XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

check this out for Thrill The World Shah Alam 2009 from Malaysia! This is edited version as we had problem with our P.A system but we had so much fun and the dance become more thrill as we all have to dance in the rain! Yahoo!

Congratulations everyone!! What an amazing number! Wish I could have been a part of it this year but alas it just didn’t work out that way.  Way to go Ines.

Thanks Ines and TTW volunteers/donors.  I know you sacrificed a lot to make this global dance tribute to MJ possible.

We thrilled the Kenwood neighborhood of Minneapolis, Minnesota.  Here is a link to our video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OzVdjc8AuTs

We had a group of 42 zombies.  The creepy lead dancers stayed in ferocious character which made it all hilarious and funky.  Onlookers were completely surprised and thought the some of the dancers were professionals, but they were just regular folks.

I had so much fun!
here’s to years and years to come!
dancing the thriller, thriller night!

I had sooo much fun!  I cannot wait to do it again.  The three generation zombies are ready to dance again next year.  Thanks to Ms. Brenda at The Body Shop!

that was so asume you thrilled the world

We had over 300 dancers in Fort Worth Texas at Hangman’s House of Horrors (the World’s largest charity haunted house). A great time was had by all!  Here’s our official video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DAWAeFmTKUs

I was one of the 90 dancers in Finland. We danced in cold, rainy October night in our country’s capital city Helsinki, but it was totaly awesome! Thank you for all of Michael Jackson’s fans. <3 Luv ya!

Hey, all the was from singapore.
wow, what a wonder to see all the fans together in one roof.
spread the joy for the love of MJ its priceless…

I was a first year Zombie and I had a blast.  I can’t wait for next year.  A fan forever.

I learned the dance but wasn’t able to be counted because there was no event close to me...but, I had a great time anyway...it is alot of fun to dance the thriller!

Dancer’s Gallery Dancers from Miramar, Florida, participated in this event at Beach Place, Fort Lauderale and had a Blast!

ST PETERSBURG FLORIDA
WE LINED THE STREETS IN OUR ZOMBIE

TTW 09 at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom was awesome! I had a great time dancing!

We had a fantastic time here in Melb, it was our first TTW event ever!!
We had around 54 people all together, look forward to alot more next year :D

My vid from our event!

Thanks Ines, and everyone else who organised this years event!

Michael Jackson was 50 years old when he died and he was able to be an AARP member!  He didn’t like the idea of growing ‘old’, but we in the 50 plus group can honor him (especially since some of us first saw and tried to dance the thriller dance back when we were in our teens!) next year and have a large consession of 50+ doing the dance at next year’s dance!

Fantastic achievement. It gets better and better.
I couldn’t be at the London event on the night (nor could my niece and her daughter) due to health problems...but Wow, when I saw the filming in Piccadilly, it looked awesome!

Full credit to the London organizers: the central city backdrop looked marvellous and the characterizations from zombie Superman to the young punk with attitude with a white blood-spattered shirt and multi-coloured tie to the demon diva in luminous, sinuous full length red dress with talons and eyes to match… well they could be the stuff of your nightmares.. or bad dreams...or something else…

Well well done.

Best wishes to Amoron

(I will be there next year) Mr Bumble

Michael would have loved this, you guys.  I’m so joining you next year! What an act of pure joy!

I have always been a great fan of MJ and Thriller so I was so excited to sign up as an event manager of the first Thrill The World - event in Southeast Missouri.  I would like to thank Ines for providing everything I needed to be an event manager and the awesome lessons to learn the Thriller dance.  I am grateful that after 57 years that I am still cutting up the dance floor along with the young-uns!

We had a wonderful time and collected 320 lbs of food for the SEMO Food Bank with just 35 dancers!  I’m glad I was part of this wonderful & worthwhile movement and am looking forward to next year.

Many thanks to all who helped me make this a success in Sikeston.

I will take part in a Halloween Wedding tomorrow - with costumes and Thriller Dance performance by the couple and all guests! Great idea:took your videos to learn, and it wasn’t difficult!

I’m back in a “dance fever” now (used to dance a lot when I was younger) - thanks to your project. Next year I’ll take part or even try to set up my own event here in Hamburg.

Congrats to your record - next year you’ll top it!!

I learned about the event a few weeks before and I am so happy to have participated in the one of the event in Canada!!

Now, when I listen tio Thriller, I remember that moment and it was unforgetable!

hanks Ines for creating this! It’s bringing people together in a remarquable way!!

Congrats!

Daniel

Had an awesome time! This coming year is going to be fantastic i can’t wait to do it all again!

Glad we all broke that record and this year we’ll break it again!

Dear Ines,

I am 52 years old, and MJ has always been someone I loved so much! After he passed, it opened up a whole new chapter in my life. I began to dance to his songs by choreographing them and dancing them the same each time...trying to perfect them. Among my favorites are Jam, Keep it in the Closet and Do You Remember....plus ALL the rest! The treadmill just bores me so!

I learned about Thrill the World while surfing the net about a month ago, and I decided I could do it!!! I went to Hangman’s and learned the dance and also learned from you on you tube. Even my husband joined in the fun!!!!!

We had the greatest time dancing with with over 300 other Zombies and made some awesome new ghoulish friends!  We will be there again next year!!

Congratulations to you for the numbers this year my friend!! You’re awesome!!

Happy Halloween to you and yours!!! Wahahahaha!

Kaylynn and George Hill
danced at:
Hangman’s House of Horrors
Fort Worth Texas

Little Baraboo Wisconsin had 121 dancers, and even more spectators!  Wow!  We already have people asking us to do it again next year!!

Hi everyone!! OMG we got it!! Yeahh...this is for you Michael!! This is what you where teaching us!
We folloved your way and the “Moonwalk” will never been forget!

WOOHOO!! i was it this thing in bethlehem pa!! it rocked so much!! I had soooooooo much fun!!

This was one of the best moments of my life EVER. Zombies UNITE!!!

Dancer’s Gallery Dancers from Miramar, Florida, participated in this event at Beach Place, Fort Lauderale and had a Blast!

That is absolutely amazing! It was soo much FUN!

You can check out one of Brisbane’s videos here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x4piO32k4sg

I think we rocked it!

Can’t wait for TTW 2010!

I was a first year zombie this year and even though the event we went to was pretty small, (34 people) it was still a BLAST!  I can’t wait to do it next year and may even hold my own event. So much fun!!!

This was my second year participating in the Thrill the World Event hosted by Lynn Berryhill, and she did a wonderful job organizing the event.  It was a lot of fun and I can’t wait to do it again next year.

Congratulations to each and every one of the Zombies who participated and made this such a success.  If the numbers explode at the same rate as they did this year-- wow.  Each year will be more incredible than the last-- and more money to help Heal the World.

Ines you are absolutely amazing.  What a wonderful vision. 

See you next year!

Was the New York City event counted in the final tally? Right before we started the dance at 8:30pm our time, we were told that the leader’s phone wasn’t working, and that we couldn’t make the conference call.

We had maybe 60-80 people and were rolling in the mud in the pouring rain doing Thriller. It was terribly cold being rain-soaked for 4 hours, but getting completely covered in blood and dirt and rain and everything definitely made me feel like a real zombie. It was worth it for the experience, but I would feel better if I knew that we at least got counted for it, haha.

I just wanted to say I had an amazing day in Piper CIty Lynn Berryhill is an amazing woman.  I had to talk my daughter who is 20 yrs old into doing this and she was less than enthused.  By the end of the day she admitted it was a blast.  The people of Piper City all came together with crockpots of food, and drinks and just completely supported this fullfilling event.  I want to become more involved in this next year.  I loved it! Special thanks to Lynn Berryhill what a woman!  Veronica Nelson

I danced with group from Racine, WI—thoroughly enjoyed it and will do it next year!

Mendo Zombie Corp ‘09, 16 strong and rising from the dead to help set the headstone straight! Never knew I could dance till I tried Thriller… still not sure, but from the vid, it sure looks like it. Awesome spontaneous street party afterwards—Thanks Crowd and Props to Michael Jackson and Michael Peters for choreographing a truly important, historical piece that’s fun for all levels of dancers! Scare you next Year! Bwa-hahahaha!

57 fantastic zombies took to the street here in little Piper City and rocked this town!  Everyone had a great time and we raised funds for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.  As with the past 2 years, this has so touched my heart and soul.  I have made many new acquaintances throughout the world and have been blessed by all who became involved in this great event.  Looking forward to 2010!  Ines...words can never express my gratitude to you for following your dream!

That was awesome!
Was there a thrill the world in Paris? Just curious…

Had a great time being a Zombie in Portland, OR.  We had a Zombie Walk through Downtown, stormed our Saturday Market and ended up in the Pioneer Courthouse Square.  It was great to see the unity of everyone coming together.  A big thank you to the Zombie Hunters for waiting for the dance to end before returning us to our restful slumber.
I wish more of the walkers were dancers as well but it was a much larger turn out than last year.
This was a great exercise for my family as well.  My two teens, jumped right in and grabbe a friend to join instead of the usual adolescent ennui.  I have a new exercise program.  My wife suffers from fear of crowds.  She ran into the middle of a large crowd because this dance was more important than her fear.

Thrill The World is a phenomenon.  The vision of creator Ines Markelle to unite the world in dance and charity is genius.  There are three dimensions of interest here, world records, to honor Michael Jackson and charity.  I can’t help think how proud Michael would be to have his music and legancy revered in all three ways.  I am an event manager who signed up for this project back in May, before Michael passed away, and learning of his death I knew as I assume Ines did that Thrill The World events were going to explode.  Ines has put in so much time, money and energy to bring this project to reality.  I believe it is an idea and concept that will not just Thrill The World but could do a lot to “Heal the World”.  I hope we can participate again next year and world wide people are inspired to pursue the unbelievable potential for charity.

OMG, That’s awesome!!! 22,923, that’s quite a jump from last year. I had the time of my life dancing as a zombie and I can’t wait to do it again next year. We were dancing at 7:30 pm with about 300 zombies. It was bad to the bone! Wicked cool! I am getting as many friends together as I can to join us next year. See yall again soon! :-)

My daughter, one of her friends, and I participated at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom on Vallejo, CA.  We had a blast and got to do the zombie dance with a bunch of great people!

It was great. Don´t know what else to say.
RIP MJ

Omg, the list is coming out. Hope that Thrill The World Kuala Lumpur,Malaysia is there too. you guys can watch our video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGSBjgdSksY

CHECK OUT GARRETT COUNTY THRILLER! New numbers raised for charities WORLDWIDE $85,000. $100,000 that was first reported to us. GC Zombies raised $30,000 of that TOTAL!

THAT IS TOTALLY UNREAL FOR A SMALL WESTERN MARYLAND COUNTY OF AROUND 30,000 PEOPLE.

CAN YOU IMAGINE IF ALL 300 CITIES DID THE SAME!

Many thanks to Ines & Thrill the World for starting this wonderful event that does so many things.

1. For our group it has brought so many people together that normally would never cross paths in our small county.

2. Our group has been learning, teaching and performing to anyone and everyone WHO WANTS TO SEE THE GC ZOMBIES over the last 4 months. (one more performance tonight @7pm in front of the Oakland Firehall)

3. We have grandparents, moms & dads, sisters, brothers, children, nurses, teachers,cousins, friends and a Ladies College basketball team in our group! We are so proud of each and everyone of them<3

4. The thing we are most proud of is the fact that we raised over $30,000. $85,000 was the total raised WORLDWIDE! With the help of the HOUSE OF HOPE families in Garrett County can get the much needed food and to help them through.

Many thanks again for the THRILLING THRILLER EVENT:)

We had soooooooo much fun!!!

...keep thrilling the world ;-))

Hola from China, Guangzhou. We danced with quite a lot of people here for the TTW event. ;) Was the best five minutes of my life. First time I saw real-life zombies ;D

My, my friend, my daughter and 2 of her friends danced Sunday am 1.30am our time. We danced with around 80 other zombies and had an absolute ball. I have wanted to learn the dance since I saw it when I was 12 so to be able to do it, and break a world record, and raise money for charity was amazing!
