Epic Halloween Medley 🎃 Spooky Songs & Disney Villains | Peter Hollens

Peter Hollens starts in Twilight Zone territory, wearing a suit and welcoming viewers to "the dark dimension of human imagination." Soon he is Shaggy with Scooby Snacks, Frankenstein's monster singing "Monster Mash," and a skeleton playing plastic bones like a xylophone.

His sole upload this week, "Epic Halloween Medley 🎃 Spooky Songs & Disney Villains | Peter Hollens," is a compilation of costumed a cappella covers, not one newly filmed performance. It gathered about 18,000 views in its first thirteen hours. The repertoire stretches beyond Disney: "Lullaby of Woe" brings in The Witcher, while "Gollum's Song" finds Hollens contemplating the One Ring.

The especially unlikely pairing is Pennywise with "The Hanging Tree," woven together with "Come Little Children" in the segment featuring Bailey Pelkman. Viewers are picking out that combination, remembering their annual listens to his earlier Halloween mix, and spotting the dancing pumpkin cameo. "This Is Halloween" assembles Brian Hull, Anthony Vincent, Geoff Castellucci and Evynne Hollens; Malukah joins "Lullaby of Woe."

The medley is now the channel's strongest daily draw among the highlighted uploads. September's Cody Fry cover "What If," the focus of his previous upload-free note, continues finding listeners, as does "Nearer, My God, to Thee." Overall daily viewing is close to its usual level, although the subscriber total slipped over the week.

There is a long history behind the villain costumes: his Whitney Avalon collaboration, "Epic Disney Villains Medley - Peter Hollens feat. Whitney Avalon," remains his most-watched regular video, with nearly 47 million views. This week's compilation returns to that collaboration for its closing run of Disney villains.
