Why Are They Doing This?
Every year, this group of moms or 'Mombies' dance it out to raise donations for breast cancer research.
Terry Davis conceived and produced the Mombies. The Cancer Couch Foundation receives all the money it raises for research into metastatic breast cancer.
The Mombies raised almost $170,000 when they began this project in 2016.
At least 50 mothers of all ages have been practising professionally choreographed dances for upcoming events in preparation for the 2023 frightening season.
Internet users praised the entertaining project and the important message it conveyed.

"We are a group of moms who have lost our everyday personas to become horrific zombies, roaming the streets for a cause larger than ourselves," they shared.
"We push ourselves beyond our comfort zones as we dance to raise donations for breast cancer research."
The Mombie website further read, "Each performance is a fusion of fun, community, and support, creating lasting memories and meaningful contributions to an important cause."
"Imagine our neighbors' shock and our children's eyes widening as zombies crept out of bushes, driveways, and the front porch! In our homemade costumes, we were eerily alluring as we broke the trick-or-treat routine and took control of the street."
"Unbeknownst to them, something much bigger was taking shape. The Mombie Movement was founded," it continues.
