A POPULAR burger restaurant has entered into the Halloween spirit, producing a special promotional video based on a classic Michael Jackson song.

Beefy Boys in Hereford has released a video based on the iconic "Thriller" pop video with the help of Shooting Reels, the 2Faced Dance Company and the Three Counties Dance Academy.

The video is called "Griller", and is captioned with the tagline "Darkness falls across the land, the midnight hour is close at hand" - a line from the Michael Jackson classic.

It has been watched by over 7000 people, and has been shared over 200 times.

RELATED NEWS:

The popular restaurant recently hit the headlines both locally and nationally after making a tongue-in-cheek post on social media after a New York restaurant banned Gavin and Stacey star James Corden.

It joked on Facebook that Corden was banned, not because he had done something wrong, just that the firm didn't find him funny.

That post went viral, attracting 34,000 reactions, 3,500 comments at 1,300 shares, with the Beefy Boys later confirming it was a joke.

OTHER NEWS:

The Halloween video focusses on couple Matt and Chloe sitting down in the restaurant for a meal.

Matt orders the new Hell Boy burger while the whole restaurant watches him as he takes a bite.

The video serves as a promotion for its new Hell Boy sauce, which the restaurant warns is "not for the faint of heart" due to it being made from the infamous ghost chilli pepper.

What follows in the video is a fever dream as a result of trying the sauce, where he imagines he is in the iconic video where zombie dancers take to the darkened streets.

A spokesperson for the Beefy Boys said: "We love a bit of Halloween at The Beefy Boys and we’ve been working on something special for this year's Halloween trailer alongside our good friends 2Faced Dance Company and Three Counties Dance Academy."

Two Faced Dance Company said that it adored teaming up with the restaurant on the project, while the Three Counties Dance Academy said that it had an amazing time filming it, and thanked the Beefy Boys for giving its students the opportunity.
