It's Halloween time!! Therefore, we must celebrate... with LOTS of fun and spooky songs. What better way to begin than with "This is Halloween" as performed by VoicePlay?
This song originally can be found in Tim Burton's "The Nightmare Before Christmas". It's hard to imagine anyone making Danny Elfman's score better, but I think these guys transform it in a new and delightful way!
Join professional opera singer Elizabeth Zharoff, as she listens to VoicePlay's rendition of "This is Halloween" for the first time.

why you don't listen hide and seek ding dong by voiceplay

@lazaren5632 4 года назад

They're all turning into characters from the movie - Eli turns into the Mayor, J. None turns into the wolfman, Geoff turns into a vampire, Earl turns into the guy with the axe in his head (Bunny!), and Layne turns into a devil. Also, Layne and Geoff do most of their arrangements, and Layne is the one who does a lot of the post-production. Ditto on the Headless Horseman cover Geoff does solo, and the group also just released a cover of Superstition for Halloween this year.

@DravenGal 4 года назад

Earl’s character (the axe guy) is called “The Behemoth,” in the movie I think.

@cixelsyd40 4 года назад

The devil is Lock.

@ticozayas6430 3 года назад

legit thought she hadn't seen the movie, or hasn't in a very long time, as they are mimicking many of the character voices from the film (on top of turning into them)

@kimsmeltzer6083 3 года назад

J None definitely had the most complex transformation and his is my favorite; at first he's like "GAH MY VOICE WTF", then OMG TEETH and then "Guys I just can't", and finally "Wait a minute I TOTALLY CAN!" Eli's had me feeling sorry for the production team because the Mayor is basically just a cylinder with swappable faces, and how do you really do that to a human being? Not a bad job! But Geoff's takes the cake for menacing makeup. The others basically turn into cartoons, but think I'd be genuinely terrified upon meeting Vampire Geoff in a dark alley.

Interestingly, if you listen to the intro of this song, it's the Haunted Mansion theme being hummed.

@Akennalady 4 года назад

To me, they're not singing willingly in the beginning. I think the kid not only transported them to Halloween Town, but also transformed them into evil creatures starting with their voices, that's why they looked so surprised not only of the place they are, but also of the sound coming out of their own mouths. As the transformation advanced they start to embraced they're voices. That’s my interpretation of the video!

One of your fellow reactors said she enjoyed VoicePlay more than Pentatonix or Home Free because they always seemed to have more fun with their music than the other two bands. Not that the other two aren't doing really really well, but these guys are playing -- as in fooling around with their excellent music for the fun of it -- while the others are a bit more serious, so VoicePlay seems to be taking more joy from it than the others.

@ajwagner3699 4 года назад

It's not Halloween themed, but VoicePlay's Moana Medley really shows off each singer's individual abilities really well

@rio5439 4 года назад

help for their names: Earl - Tenor 1 (he has that unique laser voice, sadly he left the group earlier this year due to personal reasons) Eli - Tenor 2 (pronounced "L-E") he's the dude with the many different voices! J.None - Baritone (he has such a smooth, soulful voice and also a pretty good lower register. tho in some older videos there's Tony to see as their baritone, since J only joined 2 years ago) Geoff - Bass (tho he considers himself a "baritone with a bass range", which is an understatement, since in reality he has a 5,5 octave range xD) Layne - Drums/Percussion (also sometimes covers the bass line when Geoff is singing a lead and isn't double-tracked)

Hi Elizabeth, I LOVED this performance and your reaction! I also Love your new top/outfit which looks very comfortable to wear! And I want to Thank Danny Elfman, again, for his original score...he is a Musical Genius! VoicePlay does an Amazing job performing this song and I really enjoyed how each singer transformed into the characters from the movie (Geoff-Vampire, Eli-Mayor, Earl-Behemoth, Layne-Lock (boogie's boys) and J.None-Wolfman!). Thank You, Elizabeth, for another FUN reaction video!!!

She is not only very attractive and has very cute and adorable mannerisms but everything she does with with this beautiful focused positive energy. I am a veteran who like many has mental struggles. However, watching these videos helps remind me to focus on positive energy and to move in a forward direction.

@Kamarovsky_KCM 4 года назад

Your analysis and reaction are amazing but i have to nitpick a small thing, the technique you called vocal fry around the 11 minute mark is actually a vocal growl. Its a known technique in the bass singer community. Fry is this more "burpy" sound that sound kinda like a quiet jackhammer or something like that lol. Its used very rarely in acapella as its almost inaudible, but it can be used to make different techniques like subharmonic (fry with added chest resonation), or chest-fry/fry-chest (chest voice with added fry placement), Geoff sometimes uses them, especially the subharmonic, you could've heard him use it in the last note in the Oogie Boogie Song.
