Each year, in the days leading up to Halloween, an undead curse falls upon Downtown Campbell and a horde of zombies descend into our downtown and perform the dance from the Thriller music video by the late Michael Jackson. For two hours, they stomp their way up and down Campbell Ave looking for brains, scares, and laughs.

This annual tradition is the hard work of a Thrill the World dance team organized by Karen Stevens, owner of Adira Dance and Costume in San Jose. In addition to their appearance in Downtown Campbell for the evening Zombie Crawl, they also appear at other events throughout the day and then appear again in Downtown Campbell the following day for our Creepy Crawly Halloween street party. As much fun as it is, it's a huge commitment and a lot of effort on the part of everyone involved so we're very grateful to be invaded by these zombies every year.

Stops visited by the zombies this year were Mo's/Willard Hicks, Trattoria 360, The Vesper, 7 Stars Bar & Grill, Blue Line Pizza, La Pizzeria / Katie Bloom's, Aqui's, Wild Rose, Doppio Zero, Tessora's Wine Bar, and El Guapo's.
