They’re cutting a rug, one piece at a time.

Elderly, but how old were they when Thriller originally came out? 
We old farts have long memories.

If anything, “glorious” is an understatement.

I’m just saying I wouldn’t want to fall asleep with “dead” make up on in a place like that

You rascal 
I think the younger among those people are pretty OK Boomers.
(The older among them aren’t Boomers at all, more like Silent Generation.)
Totes Adorbs!
I’m a Boomer and I’m OK.

Aww, we’d at least take your pulse before calling the organ donation folks.

This series was pretty amazing too… They co-located a kindergarten in a retirement village and the interactions between kids and pensioners was amazing… https://iview.abc.net.au/show/old-people-s-home-for-4-year-olds

If they’re 65 now, they’d have been in their mid-twenties when Thriller came out. They’re probably younger than some of the original dancers.
Or to put it another way, Jackson himself would have been sixty years old, last year.

For the record, I didn’t see anyone close to 65 in that video. All at least well into their 70s, and probably a couple at or just past 90. May we all be so spry and eager to learn new things at that age.
And props to whomever figured out that taking out partial plates (dentures) helps the zombie image!
