Adrianna Svitak "spotted" by Movin' 92.5!
On October 24th, ghoulishly dressed fans of Michael Jackson's "Thriller" gathered fort a huge synchronized dance, complete with scary costumes and sound effects. Dancing along to the music was thirteen-year-old Adrianna Svitak. With blood dripping form her eye and on her neck, caution tape wound around her shoulder, midsection, and legs, Adrianna was pretty creepy. With a couple of other "undead" friends, she posed on the ground in front of the "Movin' 92.5 FM" radio station's car, lying on the road as though just hit by the car. They were "spotted" and photographed by a radio station photographer. View the photo at Movin' 92.5 FM or take a look at it below.
