They're all characters from the same sequence in The Nightmare before Christmas - Eli is turning into the Mayor, Layne is turning into Lock, J.None is the Wolfman, and Jeff is the Vampire, Earl is Behemoth
Yep, "Grim Grinning Ghosts" at the beginning. The puppy interlude was so cute. Honestly, the best reactors are those with a crush on Geoff -- they say what the rest of us are thinking.
Geoff is a pineapple, Layne is a cactus, J is CatDog, and Earl and Eli are Cow and Chicken, respectively. CatDog and Cow and Chicken were Nickelodeon cartoon shows.
@4:12 they are!! You're the first reactor/analysis channel I've seen catch this part of the intro! it's funny because whenever I hear them in this song, my brain starts playing the beat to GGG 😂
Yes, they used the intro chords from GGG again. Sets a nice fun spooky mood. I see that others have explained the characters that the guys are turning into, so I won't repeat it. And yes, Vampire Geoff could nibble on me anytime! LOL
THANK YOU Mortius!!! I have been overly angry at every reaction to this video so far because NO ONE has caught the Grim Grinning Ghosts opening chords, this is another reason I love you and your channel soooo much.
I don't know what was better, the Voiceplay video or your reaction to Geoff. Lol. Great reaction as always. And the trick or treater is Layne's nephew.
Mortius, loved your cover! And loved watching you love this! This was my first full Voiceplay video. I thought the singing was fun, and YES, that the vampire was hot, so decided to check out more of there stuff...and fell in love with the group!
I still think this is one of if not the best covers Voiceplay has ever done. It's brilliantly done on all fronts and extremely catchy. Pretty sure I've listened to this more than any other Voiceplay song.
I hear what you're talking about in the intro chords, so either we're both crazy or they're pretty close, but I don't know the right answer. Here's hoping it comes up in the comments once this video goes live!
As keen as we are on Geoff’s vocals, I’m kind of surprised you didn’t mention his ‘segmented drone’ (for lack of a better phrase. As a baritone/bass myself it is really easy for repeated monotone notes to flatten the sound of a group. But he stayed firmly on track and never wavered. That said, I love your analyses and reactions. You even help me pick up things I miss when (re)listening to a track. Keep up the fantabulous work!
Nearly every time I listen to Voiceplay's cover of this, I count along with the chorus part in my head because of this video. "1, 2, 3, 4. 1, 2, 3, 4. 1-2-3 1-2-3 1-2-3 1-2-3!" (Or sometimes I snap along to the triplet part)
this was the one that made me fall hard & fast for VoicePlay. fun fact: some years ago I'd stumbled upon their Grim Grinning Ghosts, thought it was groovy, and added it to my faves without thinking to note who it was sung by. fast forward a couple of years, and I stumbled upon this one (destiny!!!!), thought a few of the faces & voices looked/sounded familiar, and sure enough! I fell right down that Halloween rabbit hole, and have never looked back. DESTINY!
Is her name 'Cara"? (as in the song "Cara Mia"?). She has those big 'am I in trouble" eyes! Please tuck baby into a blanket (and then listen to Home Free's original "Remember My Name"). Great reaction - gorgeous puppy eyes just melted me into a puddle . . .
When the Charismatic Voice was interviewing Layne, he said that filming this video took forever because they slowly made the transformations and would film as they went. I think he said it took over 8 hours (but I would have to go back to the interview to hear him say the exact amount).
As always, thanks for making me aware of all the background things I have been missing all this time. :D Also... yep. I share your suspicions about the costume making process, and not only in this one, either. There's some sort of an imp somewhere in there meddling is my guess. ;D
lol, you're not the first reactor to have been taken aback by vampire Geoff 😂😂
They're all characters from the same sequence in The Nightmare before Christmas - Eli is turning into the Mayor, Layne is turning into Lock, J.None is the Wolfman, and Jeff is the Vampire, Earl is Behemoth
Even the axe to the end is movie acurate.

I just noticed for the first time after who knows how many viewing, Eli is dressed as a rooster. So funny.
Kid is Layne's nephew.
And Earl is a cow. A nod to their Chicken Song
@@michellekelly2298 love the chicken song... LOL
Geoff is a pineapple, Layne is a cactus, J is CatDog, and Earl and Eli are Cow and Chicken, respectively. CatDog and Cow and Chicken were Nickelodeon cartoon shows.
I'm surprised Layne wasn't a carrot. 😂
oh yea and the pineapple is probably a nod to spongebob...@@MiladyMacabre
Geoff channeling his inner Elvis at 2:47 is awesome. This is one of my two favorite VP productions. And your reaction was priceless!!!
I never noticed that before, and I have seen this countless times! Thanks for pointing it out 😆
I can't take credit for noticing it. I missed it the first few times I watched the video, too. LOL But it's in the comments on the original VP video.
The little boy at the end was Layne's nephew. Chosen for his creepy stare. ;)

Preamble Stream-of-Consciousness Mortius is my neurodivergent standard bearer icon.
THANK YOU Mortius!!! I have been overly angry at every reaction to this video so far because NO ONE has caught the Grim Grinning Ghosts opening chords, this is another reason I love you and your channel soooo much.
The thing that surprises me most is that you haven't reacted to this until now...
I don't know what was better, the Voiceplay video or your reaction to Geoff. Lol. Great reaction as always. And the trick or treater is Layne's nephew.

ACK! "THEIR" stuff! Dang, can't believe I did that. They're going to take away my English BA!
Between you and Peter, Mason been on a roll lately with cracking me up. 😂😂
Your reaction will be on repeat today! Love your giggles
As the great Douglas Adams once said, “Time is an illusion. Lunchtime, doubly so. “

7:51 literally all of us 😂

You noticed The Grim Grinning Ghosts song chords. No other reactors caught it! I have listened to your Jack's Lament. Very creative!

Love your song ❤. Lane's nephew. Great job & don't worry about Geoff,his a great vampire.
the Bts of this one are very much golden and pretty long, they were pretty confused and surprised over their costumes haha
Voiceplay effectively ruining my favorite movie by making amazing covers that I now wish were in the movie
OMG! She's so cute and adorable!!!😊❤
Thank you for the R&A Mortius, your joy is always appreciated.
the distraction was Welcomed!! also fully and a 110% agree about what you said about Geoff. Your not the Only one! :)
13:43 Eli's voice goes down, but do you hear that voice in the background going into the stratosphere?
Nearly every time I listen to Voiceplay's cover of this, I count along with the chorus part in my head because of this video. "1, 2, 3, 4. 1, 2, 3, 4. 1-2-3 1-2-3 1-2-3 1-2-3!" (Or sometimes I snap along to the triplet part)
Geoff looks like Tom Cruise in Interview with a Vampire. Great reaction. 🥰🎃🥰
Your dog in the picture looks like Dobby in Harry Potter when HP gave him a sock. Lol
Yes that was Grim Grinning Ghosts playing as a Halloween song for that opening sequence lol
I wondered if J None took in some helium for that one high, squeaky line…. ❤️🎶

Of course Geoff’s going to be the vampire 😊
This one is a favourite of mine 🎃
Spooky Month shalt Never die!! Itz da Spooky Month!!
You gotta add the Halloween Mashup from Voctave and Paint (aka Jon Cozart) to next year's spooky month!!! It's crazy fun!
everyone needs Sexy Vampire Geoff
this one was just so good! Love ya for bringing this to my attention Mortius! Your reaction was so spot on toO!
Is her name 'Cara"? (as in the song "Cara Mia"?). She has those big 'am I in trouble" eyes! Please tuck baby into a blanket (and then listen to Home Free's original "Remember My Name"). Great reaction - gorgeous puppy eyes just melted me into a puddle . . .
Her name IS Cara… but it’s actually short for Caramel because she is brown and sweet 😄

Yes, that was Grim Grinning Ghosts that you heard.
You are right it is the Grim Grinning Ghosts...>^^
Cute puppy
You officially actually lost your mind.
Anyone notice Geoff flip off j none when he’s turning into the werewolf?
Please check out Either this song or 'Jack's Lament' covered by Pellek. I think you'd like his stuff.
❤❤❤
