Hundreds thrilled on the haunted streets of downtown Salem, Oregon as the the dead came to life to celebrate a music legend. City streets were shut down temporarily to allow a dance performance reenactment of Michael Jackson's famous Thriller video. It's all a part of a movement called Culture Shock organized on social media sites like Myspace and Facebook. This dance was one of 13 events leading up to Halloween next Saturday night. To see a schedule, click here. The crowded sidewalks cheered loudly and seemed to enjoy every bit of this live entertainment in their town.
