"Thriller" on Lexington Streets

Every Halloween, the streets of Lexington are filled with zombies - dancing zombies - as the music video for Michael Jackson's "Thriller" is re-enacted downtown by Mecca dance studio and friends.

But....why? Don't ask why. Just accept.

Micah Isaacs has played the part of MJ each year (except one where he was stuck in a snowstorm in Canada) since originating the role in 2002, when he was but seventeen years old.

Return of the Living Dead

Many people are unaware that the 1985 horror film The Return of the Living Dead's plot is set in Louisville, Kentucky, and in fact, was filmed on location there. Many Louisville streets and sights can be recognized from close scrutiny of the film.

Interestingly, the film's introduction makes the claim that the movie is based on actual events - which might be news to the citizens of Louisville!
