Mummies, werewolves, vampires, goblins and ghouls of all varieties gathered downtown to watch zombies dance to the tune of Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” Sunday night.

Going 14 years strong, the parade, put on by Lexington’s division of Parks and Recreation in collaboration with Mecca Live Studio and Gallery, has become a pre-Halloween ritual for the city of Lexington. Crowds began to gather around 6:30 p.m. to witness the spectacle.

The parade and thriller dance both began at the intersection of Quality Street and Main Street, proceeded along Main Street and ended at Mill Street.
