Barack and Michelle Obama saw out their final White House Halloween party in memorable style Monday with a goofy re-enactment of the dance from Michael Jackson's 'Thriller' and a marathon candy-distribution session to dozens of kids in fancy dress.

Students from local schools and children from military families dressed up for the occasion.

For nearly an hour, the president handed out White House-labeled Hershey Kisses and first lady Michelle Obama handed out cookies on the South Drive, The Washington Post reported.

The president jokingly told some of the youngsters earlier in the East Room that on Halloween, at least, he hoped they didn’t have to pay attention to the first lady about healthy eating.
