New Delhi, Oct 31 Pop icon Michael Jackson's fans will attempt a new world record for dancing to his hit song 'Thriller'.

Jackson fans and look-a-likes will gather in the Madame Tussauds wax museum in New York, and will attempt to break the Guinness World Record of the most people doing a simultaneous 'Thriller' dance.

The attempt comes to mark the 25th anniversary of the iconic 'Thriller' video's debut, which was premiered on MTV in 1983.

Jackson himself won't take part in the attempt, but has lent his support to the stunt, reports the China Daily.

"I always thought Halloween and 'Thriller' fit each other like a glove," he said. (ANI)
