WARNING: THERE ARE SPIDERS IN THIS VIDEO. but only the humble rancho
i'm not going to try working with this kind of deadline again anytime soon. that was hard and there's a lot of things i'd like to fix up but don't have the time to. anyway happy halloween!
audio from MBMBAM ep 378: Pumpkindaze 2017
programs used were photoshop, opentoonz, and imovie

[@gknomess]

griffin's enjoyment slowly diminishing over the course of the song is so good

[@Romanticoutlaw]

juice? more like beetlejuice

[@nevaeh9125]

Just don't say him name three times... ..or do 👁️👁️

[@startush]

FUCK i have to redo the whole video w this costume change

[@pencil_cat_studios]

I want to like this but I can’t, I can’t ruin the 420 likes :(

[@margaesperanza]

When Justin started twirling like Tim Curry in the original video gave me LIFE

[@whatrhymeswithcharlsie]

UMMM ARE WE NOT GONNA TALK ABT JUICE HITTING THAT LAST “HAAAAAAALLOWEEEN-UHH” CUZ THAT WAS MARVELOUS

[@7ismyfavoritenumber]

Absolutely

[@woconutty6238]

I'm so glad the McElroys appreciate Tim Curry as much as they do

[@rileypurvis3021]

juice’s little head shake while he says london is what i’m living for currently

[@meekaboo_]

absolutely

[@FreezingmoonDSBM]

It’s at 1:30

[@cameronsocie3347]

My favorite part of this bit happens just after this, when they’re introducing themselves, and Justin quietly but proudly says, “I’m Justin McElroy, the Best Witch,”

[@cooldudezzable]

Did miss the best line of the song though, which is "Has anybody seen my tambourine" while he IS in fact playing tambourine

[@gorimbaud]

alas, justin did not have a tambourine, thus the line would have made too much sense and had to be cut

[@babayaga2054]

man Major respect for that twirling cape animation damn!

[@gabrielleengel7476]

Lol, Griffin with the copyright laws killed me.

[@anjalim.3688]

Vampire Justin at 1:33 is feeding my soul and draining my blood. Love this, thank you for making it!

[@WiiMoat]

Are we sure that’s not Count Party Bagel

[@lilyfae7197]

Yes. Bats at 1:45

[@Duck_Ellington]

Griffin and Travis waiting wide-eyed at 0:41 and then giggling is the best

[@GrixieKong]

“Of....” 😳 “UHHHHHV....” 😂

[@sapphic_sophie]

Fantastic animation on Justin’s singing, but unfortunately I will now never be satisfied until you animate every other Justin song

[@jackroberts2704]

Bring in the clowns

[@shockofthenew]

@@jackroberts2704 Where are the clowns? maybe.... next year...

[@thebadpoet]

@Jack Roberts I just choke laughed. Send in the Clowns should absolutely be “Bring in the Clowns” it is somehow so much more sinister.

[@ericchan5396]

Though this video is only roughly 3-minute-long, it feels like an eternity. I feel like I just watched a 3-hour-long animated masterpiece. Love how you are always able to make the goofs the cutest and funniest they can be.

[@bleachyidioms]

i’m in love with the animation on “hairy, scary, creepy, crawly” especially justin popping in and out and crawling on the ceiling i’m weeping all of this is so expressive and so pleasant to look at!!! incredible job!!

[@TheNeonSlushie]

I LITERALLY opened youtube this morning to look up Tim Curry's Anything Can Happen on Halloween and this appeared on my recommended, thank you thank you thank you this was one of my favorite bits Justin's ever done, this animatic was a gift and a blessing

[@raphsvids2496]

im rewatching this and justin's cape twirl/bat transformation is so impressive and fluid omg

[@LilacStar34]

This video is the wildest crossover of things that are permanently in my head, I feel like I’ve slipped into a niche dimension designed just to make me feel alive again.

[@whette_fahrtz]

Something spooky’s goin’ down

[@octodaddy1602]

The quick smear frames starting at 2:03 are sooooo satisfying

[@montymcgee7087]

The brothers' anticipation at 0:40 is so excellent and their little reactions afterwards are so good too

[@teagannam]

that moment where Travis is trembling and u can see his pupils vibrating a bit is the exact moment where I lost it

[@thomeiser8933]

I need to download every frame of this video, print them off and make a flip book in case the internet ever goes down

[@NFSA678]

Justin singing Tim Curry, that was pretty awesome XD

[@-w-1870]

Something about your art style is so charming wth-

[@rickyn3023]

Omg I love the lil spinny you gave Justin once he had the costume for it. I’ll stay tuned for more!

[@rickyn3023]

What am I talking about? You’re the one who animated Professor Cabbage, I’m already subbed!

[@rickyn3023]

A similar thing happened to me in the comments on that video. Seems the algorithm is working in ur favor, good luck! ❤️

[@gknomess]

this is now the ONLY video that will play in my head for all 24 hours of halloween, thanks op for making my fav mbmbam animatic

[@kendoola_petula]

How quickly griff stopped being amused by this is honestly the best part

[@pLanetstarBerry]

I was howling with laughter this whole video. I had to tell my husband the news that Tim Curry was in The Worst Witch 1986 and this video was what motivated him to see the clip where he sings the song.

[@brockclother2138]

'im pretty sure that's fair use' LMAO

[@AnbaLen]

The twirling cape moment gave me legit Anastasia the WB animation vibes. Like Dimitri’s movements, I got that from him. I love it.

[@jaijais]

juice really puttin that theater experience to use!!!! fantastic job on the animation and the expressions on the boys’ faces!!

[@teenylittlecat]

vampire justin kinda cute... 😳😳😳

[@gracekeddy]

i came here because every year i watch the original and listen to the clip but to my DELIGHT this showed up and it's SO GOOD thank you for your service

[@katlinabrooks7502]

The way he turned with his cape and then exploded into bats was so well done omg

[@solilohqwee]

crisp as hell my dude. good job :)

[@crabdad4087]

just unearthed the memory i thought i wiped of spending all of thanksgiving listening to my sibling repeatedly yelling HAS ANYBODY SEEN MY TAMBOURINE from the kitchen

[@void7175]

beautiful editing. thank you for brightening (darkening?) my hallow's eve

[@psyducktective]

I appreciate the use of the goosebumps dog

[@ratatutti8729]

this is so GOOD i love vampire justin so MUCh

[@angelasterner]

The freaking dog from the goosebumps show really got me

[@gracefreeman3109]

hey that spin animation starting at 1:38 was insanely good!!

[@funtlunker]

Honestly just thought Juice was riffing for a second.

[@elliota1487]

the goosebumps dog is such a nice touch

[@koobiie]

this is INCREDIBLE. SPECTACULAR. PERFECT.

[@kedandunn]

was not expecting that strange musical number from a childhood movie that I defo thought was a fever dream to resurface in this way but okay

[@Nova-jw6ju]

At 1:58 when Griffin says "Shit--" i felt thaT

[@avengethestarks]

hooolllyy crap that was so cute and well done!!! can't decide if I love griffin's anxious researching or justin's theatrical twirling more.

[@MsDefectiveToaster]

On that last HAAAAAAlloween, I was genuinely worried he'd blow out his mic

[@sydneyschmidt4267]

THANK YOU THANK YOU THIS IS MY FAV INTRO THEY’VE EVER DONE😂🎃😂😂😂🎃🎃😂😂🎃🎃🎃🌝🌚🌚🌝

[@toetotipthatsabart5048]

1:38 was that rotoscoped? cause DAMN!!!

[@tomsidwell4928]

Yeah, haven't you seen the original footage of Justin twirling into a big cloud of bats?

[@pink_sunflower_girly4705]

0:52 my theory is that Justin expected Travis or Griffin to jump in and say something and when they didnt he decided to sing the whole song

[@cjd3053]

this was the most perfect video to ever exist. thank justin for justin

[@abbibutterfield4730]

This is one of those bits that is even better as an animatic. Amazing job!

[@Just_One_Tree]

This is incredible! Your animation really fits the comedy stylings of MBMBAM

[@leahl5007]

You’ve captured Justin’s very essence, Animator Person!

[@sarasuarez5529]

the BEST

[@octodaddy1602]

This is good but I'll never forgive Justin for omitting "has anyone seen my tambourine"

[@startush]

LOL that one's on me actually, i edited it out. i don't think he missed a single word

[@octodaddy1602]

@@startush haha what a legend

[@iamalittler]

I really liked Juice’s subtle head jive you fit in there

[@sc4ml1kely]

That's a professional little twirl

[@LiaaaaaaaaAAAAAHH]

Probably the best animation I’ve ever seen. The spinning with the cape?! Incredible!

[@thewolfmike2226]

This is really, really great! Jump scare!!

[@essaimart]

VERY good twirl at the end

[@eigenmishiin3d47]

this is basically the best thing ever

[@11jokerchen11]

hajsjfjff griffin looking at a "copyright law" book going "m'kay" was so funny

[@Mtofhills]

Oh my god!! Someone else remembers that version? Tim Curry flying off like a glorious albino bat with a small girl child? It was real!!! Oh thank you!!

[@limegreen000]

Required halloween viewing!! Still love this so so much ❤🎃❤

[@beafbuger]

the cape spin!! wow!

[@hadleykennedy5709]

Your style brings me joy!!!!!

[@sapphic_sophie]

This is incredibly satisfying somehow

[@Lucy-ip6gl]

[@Azkadelya]

[@emmamaki5862]
