100 years ago this Halloween, Houdini could not escape his death in Detroit
He was a vaudeville performer from the late 1800s and early 1900s — a time of no Internet, no TV and not even radios for most Americans. Yet say his name in 2026 and most everyone, young and old, know about the Hungarian-born immigrant who became an American legend: Harry Houdini. This Oct. 31 marks the 100th anniversary of magician, illusionist and escape artist Harry Houdini's death in Detroit, marked by events in the Motor City and around the world — including a Halloween seance to (once again) attempt to reach Houdini from beyond the grave. "It's fascinating that a full century after his death, Houdini is still the go-to magician reference," said Jeremy Dimick, director of Collections and Curatorial for the Detroit Historical Society. "From a sports perspective, Houdini's name comes up all the time — every time a quarterback escapes from the pocket; anytime a relief pitcher gets out of a bases-loaded jam, they call him Houdini," said Joe Posnanski, a journalist and author who wrote the biography "The Life and Afterlife of Harry Houdini" in 2019.

'Thriller' lets Farmington dancers set differences aside with Jackson dance
FARMINGTON — It's nowhere near close to midnight on a sunny October evening at a park in downtown Farmington, and evil doesn't appear to be lurking in the dark. But the spirit of pop icon Michael Jackson certainly is. Right near the city's farmers market in Farmington's Riley Park, the lyrics of the King of Pop's iconic Halloween classic "Thriller" waft through the air as dozens of people, some in sweats, some in workout gear, others in jeans, prepare to dance. They're there for an unusual reason: to perform the iconic dance moves, in sync, of Jackson's hit "Thriller" music video, nearly 43 years after it premiered. It's all part of Thrill the World, a community dance project in which groups gather in cities across the globe to perform a shortened version of "Thriller" at the same exact time: 6 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 24. In Farmington, roughly 80 dancers ranging in age from 6 to 70 will be decked out as zombies to perform Oct. 24 just in front of the pavilion in Riley Park on Grand River Avenue. The participants, who come from all over Metro Detroit, have been practicing since late August. "I love Michael Jackson," said Jodi
