Who else danced along to the song? 😂

[@CynicalTesuji]

You have no idea how relieved I am to finally have a visual representation of this dance. And what a dance it is!

[@ZhenYaoYin]

@@CynicalTesuji It sure is fun and easy to follow! 🕺🏻

[@carolfranklin]

Isn't this just the best thing. Obviously the singing is superb but dancing Geoff my new favourite! He put the dance on Patreon without the edit so we could try to copy it! Zombie Kathy is also a marvellous addition.

[@ZhenYaoYin]

I definitely was surprised when I saw her come back to life! 😆

[@jimcoogan1529]

Fun that Geoff got to dance with his wife at the end.

[@ZhenYaoYin]

Relationship goals!!! ❤️

[@MiladyMacabre]

I believe the "chorus of Geoffs" represent to big three of classic movie monsters: Dracula, Wolfman, and Frankenstein's Monster (the "my monster from his slab" in the lyrics)

[@Guurzak]

Yes, and the repeating Mash choreography is the classic Frankenstein strangle, then Wolfman claws, then Dracula covering his face with his cape.

[@janetdw]

@@Guurzak whoa, I didn't catch that about the dance. I learn so much from the comments. Thanks!

[@rosemorris7912]

And Wolfman Geoff can move!

[@MiladyMacabre]

@@rosemorris7912 Amen to that! I love his little incredulous expression at first LOL

[@ZhenYaoYin]

@@Guurzak Dracula covering himself? Ahhh so that’s what is! 🤩

[@SouthPaw7896]

I loved your reactions! I kinda named the Monsters Vlad Geoff, WolfGeoff and FrankenGeoff. I love WolfGeoff scratching at his fleas and FrankenGeoff flossing.

[@ZhenYaoYin]

Hahaha love those names! 🤣

[@BarronessM]

Each of the dance moves represents one of the Classic Movie Monsters... Frankenstein (arms out), Wolfman (howling at the moon), Dracula (behind his cape) and the Mummy, (arms across the chest, as if wrapped up). Sitting Geoff is Dr Frankenstein, Geoff 1 is Dracula, Geoff 2 is the Wolfman (he scratches fleas occasionally) and Geoff 3 (the one that flosses) is Frankenstein's monster.

[@DC-tm7ys]

You guys just enjoy this TOO much! You are always fun to watch. The dancing is awesome. Geoff is awesome. This is magical.

[@samuelmncedisi1065]

The "la la la" section is Bach's toccata and fugue in d minor, just shuffled and swung, and yes, at the end it's Fur Elise. I also think that the 3 monsters are shot at a different frame rate, can't say for sure, they look a lot like stop animation. Awesome reaction to an awesome song.

[@ZhenYaoYin]

You’re right! I never noticed it until now, good catch! 🤩

[@macqo004]

they were shot at 75% speed

[@steveallen8987]

The characters are Frankenstein, Dracula, wolf man, Frankenstein’s monster. The four steps are from the original universal monster film poster poses. Frankenstein holding out both arms, the wolf man with hands by sides howling up at the moon in half profile, Dracula hiding behind his cape hanging from his arm and finally the mummy with his arms bandaged to his chest. Cooooool. Steve

[@janetdw]

Thanks for identifying why the guitar sounds so familiar!

[@ZhenYaoYin]

Yay! Glad that I could help 😁

[@davidpratt2007]

Zhen and Carrie, thank you for this super fun

[@reflexxuns4065]

I loved your reactions! This video was just so freakin' much fun, wasn't it? Geoff and his wife were awesome!

[@ZhenYaoYin]

They’re couple coals, seriously! 😍

[@Wildecat10]

This was filmed at Pattycake Productions on their new set for the second season of Villains' Lair. (With different lighting he also used it for the Misty Mountains video. ). Since it’s Halloween season, you might want to check out Pattycake’s Bump in the Night. It’s a Thriller-type original song by Layne Stein andTony Wakim (who used to be a baritone with VoicePlay). It’s complete with a dance break and all your favorite Halloween monsters - and Elvira! React from the beginning, although you may need to cut some dialogue for length. And be sure to stay for Elvira with the kids at the end!

[@candilunsford2878]

OMG thanks for the info!! I had no idea about this.

[@janetdw]

I thought it was the same set. I was just going to go back to the Misty Mountains to check! (Oh, heck, I'll go back anyway. It is one of my favorites.) And thanks for the tip about Patty Cake Productions. I keep meaning to check them out and then get distracted. Did you see that J came back for a short visit to do "I've got friends on the other side"?

[@Wildecat10]

@@janetdw oh yes, it’s a good one!

[@randiskye4444]

I’ve not actually seen anything from Pattycake yet! But yes I’ve seen them tease “I’ve Got Friends On The Other Side”, can’t wait! 😄

[@Broomrider1492]

I remember hearing the original of this song on the old TV show American Bandstand back in the '60s. Geoff made it even better. I was happy dancing in my chair. Kathy is an amazing dead wife popping up screaming at the end and he laugh. Perfect. Large props to his choreographer. The background looks like it's from Far Over the Misty Mountains Cold. I can tell they did this at PattyCakes, because of the chair Geoff is sitting in and the phonograph from House of the Rising Sun. Geoff 1 is Dracula, Geoff 2 is Wolfman, Geoff 3 is a Zombie or the Monster. He posted a Patreon video of the 3 so we could all learn the dance.

[@ZhenYaoYin]

Thanks for sharing! I’m not a Patreon member so I really appreciate it! 😄

[@janhankins911]

I just love your reactions. They're always so much fun. This one was no exception!

[@ZhenYaoYin]

Thanks, it’s easy when the video’s so fun to watch! 🤩

[@christinestromberg4057]

Yes Fur Elise at the end, and Geoff has said “Did you pick up on the "la la la" section? It's Bach's toccata and fugue in d minor, just shuffled and swung”. He really is something else. Kathy was there all the time, sometimes you see her legs twitch when he goes subharmonic. :)

[@ZhenYaoYin]

He “shuffled and swung” it so well that I didn’t realise until now! And what Kathy’s doing - that’s true love ❤️

[@leme3503]

On the jerkiness explanation: Almost! But it has nothing to with framerates. During shooting, Geoff - as the monsters - did his choreography and singing to a slowed down version of the song, probably around 70% of the normal speed. It was then sped up to match the songs' original speed.

[@christinestromberg4057]

Interesting.

[@ZhenYaoYin]

Thanks! That’s kinda like how kids do those TikTok dances, right? 😆

[@veronicathunander4579]

Love this and I think all the characters are hilarious! Thanks for the lovely reaction! I’m looking forward to your Halloween themed VoicePlay reactions too! They’ll be releasing a new one soon that’s great for Halloween. It’s already on Patreon and once again they go all in with their acting! It’s great!

[@kevinroth9952]

Love your reactions! and loved watching you have fun with this video! If you are reacting to Halloween music, a Halloween playlist just isn't complete without the moderately terrifying yet catchy song, "The Cockroach That Ate Cincinnati"

[@ZhenYaoYin]

Interesting, I’ve never heard of that before! 😄

[@sandraperezaguilar4946]

The choreography is super fun! This arrangement is super fun (I had to look for the original version of Monster mash because I had never seen it), and by the way, I didn't even notice Kathy until she "screams". I had to rewatch the video to confirm that she was there from the beginning.

[@ZhenYaoYin]

So I’m not the only one who didn’t notice her! 😆

[@bjspeck4337]

It was the first thing I heard from Geoff/VoicePlay in mid October last year. I love Monster Mash and it was irresistable. When I heard/saw this I was HOOKED and needed to find more. After I heard it by VoicePlay I found you guys/gals/reactors so I could watch you find this amazing stuff. Like taking a friend to a movie you love.

[@JustMe-vk4fn]

I love the way he mentions the Zombies... "The Zombies were having..... (uh....) "fun". :D Indeed. Zombies do love eating brains but I'm not certain how much "fun" that is for everybody else involved. lol

[@ZhenYaoYin]

It’s not so bad if the victim’s already dead or dying. You know what they say, a brain is a terrible thing to waste 🧟‍♂️

[@JustMe-vk4fn]

@@ZhenYaoYin :D Too funny and *so* true.

[@gilliandrysdale5306]

this was filme at Pattycake studios which is owned by Layne and Tony (Tony used to be in Voiceplay) Geoff filmed his misty mountain cover there. Hoist the Colours was file at Orange studios which they’ve used before. If you haven’t checked out any of Pattycake stuff do give it a look it’s great. You had a blast reacting to this which was very enjoyable to watch - thanks 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿❤️

Thanks for the info and hi from Malaysia! Not sure where in Scotland you’re from but we’ve been to Edinburgh and agreed that it’s a city we definitely could see ourselves living in! 😍

@@ZhenYaoYin Hi yes I am lucky enough to have been born and live in Edinburgh glad you liked it here might be perfect but for the weather!

[@dscott3421]

Zherrie - not my own discovery, but worth passing along: the 4 poses of the monster chorus are the classic pose of Frankenstein monster (Karloff), Wolfman howling (Chaney), Dracula raising his cape (Lugosi), and the Mummy (Karloff). Not sure if this was in any way used in the 60s. you might google images of these to see them.

[@randykovack4518]

The guy on the right doing the Floss is hilarious

[@georgeannec3444]

Every bone crack and yell is all choreographed by sitting Geoff. Watch him closely

[@ZhenYaoYin]

Hehe he’s the puppet master! 😆

[@xkrkro]

It would've been nice if he put the dance in the video for nostalgia sake, but his dance is funny!

[@ericturner7824]

first move...Frankenstein's Monster, 2nd move Wolfman howling at the moon, 3rd move Dracula and his cape, 4th move Mummy arms wrapped around himself.......tribute to Universal Studios Monster movies of the 1930's....btw Boris Karloff was both Frankenstein's Monster AND The Mummy!

Did anyone noticed that the lady in the sofa is twitching each time Geoff hits a low note? I saw her do it two times: at 4:33 and at 6:56. Did I miss any?

[@BlueZebra1955]

I've watched many reaction videos of this performance, and not one person recognized Frankenstein's monster on the far right.

[@DC-tm7ys]

Did you hear the chains rattling. Wolfman has fleas. He just gets better and better

[@joshhutchison6201]

Good times!! But this is the only version, of this video, that I've seen with that much glitching! There's sped up dancing to give it that "creepy" factor, but I'm hoping you 2 have seen the original video! 😍 Happy Halloween and good times! God bless!

[@catwhowalksbyhimself]

Yeah, the Monster Mash is a dance, but not one that actually exists. It's a fake one that the song is about. There isn't an official one. Also the Geoff on the right is supposed to be Frankenstein's monster, I believe. Could be wrong.

[@ZhenYaoYin]

I was slightly disappointed to find out that there’s no actual dance, but I also kinda like the idea that it’s such a parody of dance crazes of that era that Bobby Pickett never got around to actually creating one! 🤣

[@bjspeck4337]

The miiddle guy is wolfman - he has fleas!
