Skeletons Descend on Downtown Northville (VIDEO)

Despite the rain, the Town Square was full of entertainers and onlookers.

No town in Michigan knows how to ring in the Halloween season like Northville.

On Friday night, there was a performance of Michael Jackson's Thriller dance in Northville's Town Square. The show was followed by a ribbon cutting, which unveiled more than 40 skeletons displayed throughout downtown Northville.

The decorated skeletons, returning to Northville for a second year, have doubled in number since last year, said Northville Downtown Development Authority Director Lori Ward. They are sponsored by local businesses and designed to different themes.

It's a way to attract people to the streets of downtown Northville, she said. The skeletons will be on display throughout October. In addition, the city will be host to a series of other events celebrating the Halloween season such as the Car Tunes Show on Saturday.
