Creators dance the same short routine to the Spooky Scary Skeletons remix, often in Halloween costumes or with skeleton and ghost effects, in one fixed shot. The dance started in September 2019 and comes back every Halloween. Old fans get nostalgic in the comments, and new versions add effects and costumes.
The original 2019 dance: one guy in a black tee and white glasses hits every move on the beat in his living room. Simple and sharp. People say every move was on beat and joke that it called them lazy in six languages.
She recreates her first viral video at sunset in a parking lot, switching between herself, a skeleton, a mummy and doodle effects mid-dance. Fifteen hours of editing shows. Comments remember the original and call it creative TikTok at its best.
Will Smith does the routine in a dark hall that keeps changing around him, with a ghost and a skeleton dancing in his place. Movie-level effects on a TikTok dance. People ask what filter it is and joke that it's too expensive for TikTok.
