Watch: Ahead Of Halloween, An Army Of 'Zombie' Women Take Over US Streets

Ahead of Halloween, a group of women dressed as 'Zombies' were seen dancing on the streets of Connecticut in the US. A video of the flash mob dance that was shared on the Instagram page Good News Movement shows women, all dressed as zombies, dancing rhythmically to Michael Jackson's 'Thriller'. Turns out, it is not just Halloween fun, but for a good cause as well. The group of women, who are all mothers, call themselves 'Mombies', and dance every year to raise breast cancer research funds. They have been doing this since 2016. 

The video was captioned as, ''MOMBIES! Every year, hundreds of Connecticut "mombies" dress up as zombies to perform to raise money for cancer research.''

The 'Mombies' were created and founded by Terry Davis. 100% of the proceeds they fundraise go to The Cancer Couch Foundation for metastatic breast cancer research. Since they first started this venture in 2016, the MOMbies have raised more than $170,000.

For the 2023 spooky season, at least 50 moms of all ages have been practicing professionally choreographed dances for upcoming events. 

Internet users loved the fun initiative and the significant message behind it. One user wrote, ''I want to be a mombie! How fun!'' Another wrote, ''I'd love to do that! What a beautiful idea!''

A third commented, ''This should probably happen every month in every city in the world.'' A fourth added, ''Great job. Wonderful coordination and fabulous dancing.''

''We are a collective of moms shedding our everyday persona to transform into ghastly zombies, taking to the streets for a purpose greater than ourselves. Casting aside fears, we venture beyond comfort zones as we dance to raise funds for breast cancer research. Each performance is a fusion of fun, community, and support, creating lasting memories and meaningful contributions to an important cause,'' a description on the website reads. 

''Picture the neighbors' astonishment and our children's eyes widening as zombies emerged stealthily from bushes, driveways, and the front porch! We were eerily enchanting in our homemade costumes as we disrupted the trick-or-treat routine and took charge of the street. Unbeknown at the time, something much bigger was coming to life. The MOMbie Movement was born,'' it reads further.
