    I was thinking the exact same thing with the leg tap that's actually one of my favorite things about this video and for all the reaction videos I've seen they probably didnt notice the leg tap because it's never been acknowledged in the reaction videos and only one reactor acknowledged zero being in the video and yet there was one reaction video that didn't even have zero in it so I kind of wonder what happened with that one

    There was a kickstarter for it a few years ago from a playwright who had written a fully-adapted script, but it never got fully funded. It's a show that would really only be feasible in October and December, which are crowded show months already, and a show that's only going to have a chance of success 2 months out of the year is not going to go well. I think it's a fantastic movie to adapt into a play, but the logistics just don't work, sadly.

    Every time I listen to this, I fall more under its spell. Your connection to the song is so abundantly obvious in every detail, every expression and performance choice. We’ve seen you become someone new with a perfectly executed character voice, but that isn’t what’s happening here. This is so clearly your voice, but it’s also Jack’s, like there’s no difference between the two. And your voice is at its most beautiful, lightheartedly menacing when called for, then powerfully melancholic in a moment. It is magic reverberating through my soul and I am at a loss to express it properly.

    This might be Jack's Lament but I hope you'll allow me to laud you (and Kathy) for this incredible production that you have made! This ranks among my favourite productions of yours. Not just halloween, but of all time. The amount of details in this that together form the perfect homage to Jack's Lament. This truly feels like it was a theatrical performance, or a scene from a live action version of the movie. What a beautiful arrangement you have made. Switching so expertly between the soft passages and the more manic ones. Your voice fits this song so much better than I would have been able to imagine, and you pull of an incredibly believable performance. You are Jack Skellington personified in this, and made the song more musically interesting to listen to. I have had this on repeat ever since we got this on patreon, and rewatching the video on repeat, I can't help but sing your (and Kathy's) praises. I am not sure you could have done a better job embodying him, other than doing it in stop motion. Although that one part after "I'm known, throughout England and France" with those shifty movements definitely looks like a nod to stop motion, and makes it extra spooky. What a gorgeous set you have created here, with that black and white feel and that pop of colour from those beautiful pumpkins (I love the one on the piano, it's adorable) Your outfit is also very well chosen, to not have a direct copy, as that is just something you never do, but it fits the role so well. Now to sing Rick Underwood's praises for that unbelievable make-up. The skeletal fingers are another very cool detail, and that face make-up blows me away. I also love the appearance of Zero and the snow!! How beautiful and wonderful. This is an incredibly impressive production for many reasons, and you really keep surprising me. Bravo, sir. I'm so glad to be a patron to get to support productions like this.

    Geoff. It took me almost the whole time between the Patreon release and this public one to put into words how much I adore this cover! Initially all I could do was make unintelligible noises and squeaks, so I've managed to improve on that. 🤣 I agree with you in that this song is often overlooked when it comes to this soundtrack, but it's always been a favorite of mine. It's really beautiful, in a sadly creeptastic way. Jack is such a trichotomy of tragic hero, impulsive child, and scary monster. That being said, with this arrangement you *absolutely* found that perfect balance between the 'personalities' of Jack's mercurial nature. Visually, this is one of your more stunning videos. The set dressing and lighting give it *such* the right ambiance. The makeup and costuming are just enough to give us Jack without crossing over into caricature. And your acting? Top-notch. I absolutely *adore* this one, Geoff. Thanks again for letting me ride on the crazy train and Happy Hallowe'en! 💀🎃💕

    I'm impressed with this piece, Geoff! You have outdone yourself again. The video is stunning - you've captured that dark, colorless atmosphere with some splashes of orange of the "Halloween Town" so beautifully. The set is incredibly beautiful - you can really see the attention to detail. Your makeup is so good - the face, the bony hands and even the idea of a skeleton on your chest. I love the costume too - it's a nod to Jack Skellington, but in your own way. So great you worked in Zero and the snow!!!! The arrangement is so beautiful and well done - you've found just the right piano sound. I also think it's great that there are so few BGVs - it increases the feeling of loneliness. And now the vocals, Geoff, the VOCALS! I cry with joy when I hear that. You nailed the schizophrenic nature of Jack's voice and managed to give so much depth and ‘gravitas’ to his feelings of boredom, loss, despair and yet pride in his achievements. The dark, deep bass voice alternates with the sweet, high lulling, speaking and screaming - it's perfect!
