Reaction to Geoff Castellucci - Monster Mash - Metal Guy Reacts

[@michaelpitcher9680]

You're the only reactor I've seen who even noticed Kathy was there before she sat up and screamed. Love your reactions, keep 'em coming!

[@MetalGuyReacts]

Thanks Michael! All of a sudden I was like “wait there’s a person there” 😆 I almost missed her too.

[@glennjanot8128]

No, I've seen a couple of reactors noticing "another person there?" But only one of them noticed her two twitches when he hit the lowest notes ^^ And only one reactor actually noticed the Frankenstein-Geoff doing the Floss at the end :D

[@catwhowalksbyhimself]

He is the third for me. The other two noticed immediately, but he got there.

[@DarkEmpress86]

Yes, the woman is Geoff's wife, Kathy, and she also did the makeup for this video! 😊

[@ronmitchell859]

You're among the rare reviewers who noticed the lady on the couch ahead of time. Good observation skills!

[@FyrenMagus]

Aye, he did all of the vocals, per usual. His range is vast while maintaining quality. His lovely wife had a nice cameo, as well.

[@bsmith5970]

The hip-swinging middle Geoff just cracks me up. An example of when a cover is better than the original.

[@janetdw]

The dancers are Dracula, Wolfman (complete with fleas) and the Frankenstein Monster. Another, much cleverer, viewer described them as Dr. Geoff, VladGeoff, WolfGeoff and FrankenGeoff. Since I read comments, I also learned that the dance moves emulate Frankenstein strangling, Wolfman slashing and Dracula swinging his cape. I decided that the hug is Dracula wrapping himself up in his bat wings. Also the opening la la la portion has a bit of Toccata and Fugue. On his Patreon page he introduces the song with apologies to Bach and Beethoven.

[@lachimiste1]

Fun detail: the “la-la-la” parts are Bach’s Toccata & Fugue in D Minor on a swing beat. He’s such a music geek; I love it!

[@DennisKovacich]

And the piano bit at the end is “Für Elise.”

[@Tymdek]

@@DennisKovacich Not only at the end, you can hear it in the "background" aswell

[@marshayoung9387]

@@DennisKovacich I know Geoff plays piano & that just may be his doing.

[@AngelaCharsha]

First there was Avi's hips, then Tim's hips, and now Geoff's hips DON'T LIE!!

[@candilunsford2878]

He put a wide angle shot of all 3 of the "characters" before he edited in the cut-aways to the "narrator" on his Patreon page. So many people asked for the dance moves he decided to help us out. Just like him to do that for his fans.

[@DC-tm7ys]

Don't forget how cool the dancing was. He is the best in making videos and he is such a constantly great singer. His bass is always evident in Voiceplays videos. His voice does not get lost in the mix like some bass singers. Nice review.

[@brandyforsythe1882]

I ❤ that "Frankie" was flossing there at the end while he was dancing with his wife!!!

[@MetalGuyReacts]

That was so funny! I loved this song from him. So good!

[@carolfranklin]

I am so glad you enjoyed this it is my new great joy. Dancing Geoffs have become my best ever thing. Geoff's wife Kathy did the make up and appears as dead girl! He takes so much trouble to make everything brilliant, this is shoot two the first day was too scary!

[@cyndisanimaladventures6370]

I'd still love to see the scary version 😂

[@rosemorris7912]

Wolfman Geoff has some moves!

[@nightthornkvala94132]

And some fleas I think.

[@marshayoung9387]

I agree !

[@christinestromberg4057]

Reading through some of the comments here I don't see anyone mentioning Geoff on the right doing the Floss as narrator Geoff dances with his wife. A fun little detail, easily missed. Also the keen eyed have seem Kathy's legs twitch as Geoff sings that very low note on "son". Another brilliant piede of work here and a nice reaction to it.

[@leechowning2712]

I honestly think he should put "inspired by" rather than "cover"... his songs are ALMOST always a completely different song. I first found them on Oogie Boogie, and when I went to the original song it was almost unrecognizable. The original Monster Mash is very much a song of its time, a early pop dance style that really wasn't scary. Oh, we listened to it for Halloween, but not for a spooky playlist. Geoff made the song back into a spooky song that will be on my list.

[@carolfranklin]

Yes much more remix than cover

[@marshayoung9387]

Geoff is part of Voice Play & Disney founded Voice Play & hired them as their acapella group. Voice Play has owns the rights to the Disney cover songs. That is why they stick to the original while they put in their own twist .

[@papatomthune4924]

And the woman was Geoffs' wife! 🕵✔

[@cosinex8361]

I am amazed you noticed Kathy before she appeared. Great reaction man!

[@gilliandrysdale5306]

that’s Geoffs wife Kathy

[@jessicacifelli5496]

As everyone else has already said, the women is Kathy, Geoff's wife. She also makes an appearance in Voice Play's Daddy Sang Bass video. If you like Johnny Cash, you'll like that video. Its so fun. I love this version of this song! I think when it first was released, I must have watched it about 5x to try to catch everything. So well done!

[@raissacoelho2282]

She appears in "boy bands 5 minutes" too, talking to Eli's and Layne's wives and Earl's partner, during the "walk like a man" song. 😁

[@sandym6760]

I can't get over him doing the floss at the end there, I just can't unsee it, lol

[@georgeannec3444]

the seated Geoff is orchestrating the others to break bones and yell. love the Fur Elise at the end. Kathy actually shakes at a couple of the really low notes.

[@atenahalley]

If you like this one you'll like his version of the Headless Horsemen. Btw the woman is Kathy, his wife.

[@veronicathunander4579]

I guess they’ve been recommended before, but VoicePlay’s Nightmare Before Christmas series is great. You’ve done the Oogie Boogie, but there’s also “What’s This?”, “This is Halloween” and “Kidnap the Sandy Claws”. They’ve also done a spooky variant of Superstition!

[@marshayoung9387]

Geoff said in an interview that his favorite roles to play are the bad guys.

[@marshayoung9387]

Your reactions are always awesome. Please do a reaction video of Geoff Castellucci's version of Way Down. He goes way way down in this one. He even does an Elvis Presley dance along with it.

[@carolfranklin]

I’ve just looked & I don’t think you’ve listened to Geoff’s Halloween song from last year The Headless Horseman also incredible sorry if you have

[@MetalGuyReacts]

Hi Carol! I haven’t yet. I’ve got that one on my list for this week. I’m so excited to check it out 😁🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@becca2383]

Came across this a few days ago and I'm obsessed with it! It's so good!! Great reaction, your face said it all! Thank you for sharing it with us 😊

[@MetalGuyReacts]

Thank you so much Becca!

[@candilunsford2878]

Another fun Halloween one to watch comes from another two of VoicePlay's members, Layne and former member Tony. They own PattyCake Productions which does a lot of Geoff's solo songs and the whole group's. They've done one called Bump in the Night which is a spoof on horror villains and is absolutely hilarious. They both sing in this one and are in character. It's a long intro into it but so worth it. LOL

[@johnbattles1002]

I'm not sure if this is a true fact, but I read that Geoff has a range of 4.5 octaves. I wouldn't much doubt it! The "dead lady" is Geoff's wife Kathy, who actually did all the makeup for the video. Don't know if you caught it, but after she screams, Geoff says, "Oh good, you're awake." Lol! :D Superb!

[@rowand2263]

The note he hits is an A1!

[@CynicalTesuji]

I never liked the original Monster Mash. Terrible, I know! But I can't stop humming Geoff's version! And I lovelovelove that he actually got the dance choreographed! I didn't realize that that was part of my dislike for the song until I saw Geoff dancing and thought- 'Yes! That's what was missing! The actual dance!!' But of course, Geoff just has the kind of talent that can transform just about anything. I'm so glad he redeemed this song for me.

[@Iansco1]

I keep hitting Dracula and his son in public. Because it is the first Geoff Sub I cant easily hit in at least bad growl. And it bothers.

[@paulbryan6716]

You obviously haven't seen the original performed by Bobby Pickett on American Bandstand with Dick Clark.

[@marshayoung9387]

@@paulbryan6716 he only made the song scary because he was a scary looking character to begin with.

[@marshayoung9387]

The monster he is referring to ( as his son ) is to the left of wolf man & is the son of Frankenstein.

[@Silverwing2112]

It's called a happy place brother. Geoff's taken you to a happy place.

[@sharonmortimer3843]

This was done so seamlessly for sure. That was Geoff's wife in the video. Thanks for your reaction.

[@Arachnia_Sea]

Now on my newly made playlist along with Marwan Ayman's Halloween covers

[@obe22099]

Great channel you have here. The KZbin algorithm throws epic beards in my recommendations.

[@marymichele340]

Did you notice her in the sofa behind him, the times she twitches?

[@NinaS___]

1:35 and 2:17

[@reflexxuns4065]

Lol! I loved your reaction! I agree with you on this becoming a Halloween classic! I hope so! I'm glad you had as much fun with the video as I did !

[@davidpost428]

Halloween Classic for sure!

[@Iansco1]

YOU are the first person who noticed his wife before she screeched. That is his Real Wife Kathy.

[@Broomrider1492]

Have loved The Monster Mash from the first time I heard it on Dick Clarks American Bandstand way back in the '60s. Geoff has made it even more fun. Love his arrangement and his lovely dead wife Kathy at the end was the perfection. Now you need to go and do his The Headless Horseman if you haven't done so.

[@victorbradshaw7359]

Great for the season 😂

[@tracyz9155]

Thanks for your reaction

[@laundrygoddess4]

Now go back and watch the far right Geoff dancing the floss for a laugh. Cracked. Me. Up.

[@dianadonnell]

Geoffs wife.

[@bjspeck4337]

As far as I'm concerned, it replaces the old one. This was my first Geoff video and it was perfect! I went to search and found more Geoff AND Voiceplay. What a payoff.

[@r0kus]

I loved Bobby Picket's original as a kid, but I gotta say Geoff's _Monster Mash_ is *so much* better. It's not just the Geoff is a much better singer, but he adapted the song for modern folks. The faces Bobby would pull and impressions of Boris Karloff and Bela Legosi are just plain dated. Geoff's vampire, wolfman, and mummy personas were great.

[@yoitsAndy1]

Question: Is that his wife, Katherine???

[@funitoo]

4:08 Does he say "they played Dimash"?

[@christinakyleloves]

LOVE YOU!! MY HUSBAND LOVES LIQUID DEATH WATER!!!

[@MetalGuyReacts]

I love you too Christina! Thank you! Liquid Death is so good. They really haven't sponsored me but I'm going to start recommending it anyway :)

[@baskervillebee6097]

Too fun!

[@nathanmarsh1282]

Headless Horseman by Geoff

[@josiahrobinson6135]

Great reaction! This version is way better than the original! Have you ever done any reactions to Dan Vasc or Jonathan Young? I'm new to your channel - this video is my first - so I've not explored it yet. You seriously need to do some Dan and Jonathan reactions. They are both great!

[@joanjones7245]

Amen…
