French students mime to Michael Jackson's "Thriller" for Halloween: c'est magnifique

What is it about "Thriller" that encourages group choreography like no other song? There was that video with the prisoners, there was that video with the people on the tube... And now, magnificently, we have what appears to be a college full of French students miming to it.

There are several amazing things about this video. There's the fact it's one long tracking shot as it goes through the whole building; there are the preppy dudes with sweaters draped over shoulders; there are the kids who quite obviously don't know what they're supposed to be miming; there's the ridiculous arm-dancing on the stairs...

Put simply, your day will brighten considerably if you watch this thing over the page.
