Watch Barack and Michelle Obama Dance to Michael Jackson's 'Thriller' for Halloween [VIDEO]
It was the First Couple's last Halloween in the White House after eight years.
WASHINGTON, DC — It was quite the Halloween spectacle at the White House on Monday, with President Obama himself dancing to Michael Jackson's "Thriller" to celebrate his last Oct. 31 as president.
The South Lawn of the White House was well-decorated for the holiday as thousands of trick or treaters from military families or one of 15 elementary schools in the area arrived to celebrate, according to media reports.
In a brief "Happy Halloween" video shared to the White House's official Facebook account, Barack Obama, with Michelle at his side, joked that you "don't have to eat healthy today," as the health-conscious FLOTUS agreed.
