Petrolia Flyers dump Trojans
Spooky Lasalle Line video in the making
October 11, 2017
People driving down Lasalle Line near Watford may have been spooked Saturday.
Songwriters Neil Werden (at the right)and Paul Macguire collaborated on a song called Graveyard Dance and Saturday night, members of the Arts Council of East Lambton helped the pair shoot a video at Werden’s home.
About 20 people dressed as Zombies spent a warm summer evening work on the video. Werden, a carpenter by trade, built all the props and is excited to see the song come to life and played a role as one of the Zombies.
“I’ve always like Halloween…but I never get to do anything because with work it is hard unless Halloween is on a Saturday night.”
The video will be found on the Arts Council’s Facebook page, hopefully before Halloween.
