About 4 years ago around Halloween-time, I listened to the song "Thriller" by Michael Jackson too many times…
…and watched the video too many times. The product was this:
A "zombie-nerd" costume and a dead-eyed stare into the camera. I'd say I at least played the part pretty well. I couldn't have just dressed up as a zombie without a theme, I wanted to be something more resulting in a zombified schoolgirl. I had made up no backstory of how I'd been turned into a zombie, I hadn't been watching "The Walking Dead" or anything like that. My costume was entirely inspired by a pop song from 1982. I had even ripped my shirt and poured blood all over my clothes and face.
As for my brother and sister, my brother had started the night wearing a clown mask but had gotten weary of it so I came to the rescue with makeup and red "hair dye". My sister was a "zombie-rockstar". We even had a dance routine to "Thriller" worked out in case we decided to have a mini flash-mob in the streets (we had both been listening to the song quite a bit and were quite into the characters we had chosen for the night). We didn't end up following through with the dance; I felt we wouldn't be as good as Michael Jackson himself.
