Thriller zombies cut some shapes
The organisers want to attract more than 1,124 would-be zombies
Willing and able zombies have been called upon to perform Michael Jackson's Thriller dance in an attempt to break a world record.
Organisers of Nottingham's annual games festival GameCity, want to teach more than 1,000 people the pop star's moves.
To break the record for the largest zombie gathering set at the Monroeville Mall, Pittsburgh, US in November 2007, more than 1,124 zombies must take part.
Costumes, make-up and choreography will be provided at the Old Market Square.
Zombie shuffle
GameCity's festival director Iain Simons said people needed to turn up by 1400 GMT on Friday to be transformed into a zombie.
"We can provide you with a zombie kit, we can train you to walk like a zombie, talk like a zombie, shuffle like a zombie.
"We'll train you to do the Thriller dance," said Mr Simons. "As any self-respecting zombie knows, it's very important that they come together and dance the Michael Jackson Thriller dance because that's what zombies do when they congregate." The actual record attempt will take place at 1700 GMT.
