Thrill the World groups learn an adapted Thriller routine and perform it together around Halloween, often in zombie costumes. Organisers provide teaching materials, and local events can also raise money for community causes.

This is fandom expressed through preparation and coordinated performance, with the same song linking separate gatherings. It also shows how a famous video can support a participatory tradition beyond simply replaying or discussing it.
