A Sesame Street Thriller

In time for the Halloween season, here's a music video of various creepy scenes from the original "Sesame Street" from the 60s to the 90s, set to the late Michael Jackson's "Thriller." Such well-known scares include the Beautiful Day Monster's B-sound, Vincent Twice of Mysterious Theater, Count von Count with a skeleton, an I-beam in a steel mill (don't ask!), Ernie and Bert in an ancient pyramid, Ernie as a zombie, and other monsters and spooks. You can tell Sesame Street sure has come a long way, hasn't it?

"Thriller" is (C) 1984 by Epic Records, all Sesame Street clips are owned by CTW/Sesame Workshop. I do not own any properties used here, and I am merely presenting this for your entertainment.

Unlike many of you guys, I've always found the Ernie & Bert sleepover skits involving The Count & Cookie Monster to be HILARIOUS rather than scary. I loved those skits: ZOMBIE ERNIE: "43,891...43,892...43,89-three­ee......(Bert) Hey Ernie!......SHEEEEEEPP!....." LOL!

COOKIE MONSTER: "Hey! Flying cookies! Where'd they come from? WHO CARES! Come to papa! (Cookies then proceed to elude him while singing that stupid song)".

Of course, the I-Beam, early Snuffy, that rubber band face, etc. are creepy.

@SpukiTheLoveKitten75 Yes, I must admit, though Ernie's eyes do look a little creepy in that sketch, but the Count sleepover segment is still REALLY funny to me, especially the ending ("Can I sleep over again tonight, Bert?" *Ernie moans and faints*)

Why does everyone freak out over the I Beam? IT'S JUST AN I BEAM!

If Frazzle was in this video, then it'd be perfect. That guy always freaked me out.

Beautiful Day Monster's yell was freak as hell. Nothing freaks me out about the Count, Pharoah Ernie, and the Yip-Yips, though.

@SuperJNG18 The main cause of the fear factor of the I-Beam segment was the music, and a few of the extreme close-ups making it look like it could jump out of the TV and burn you, plus there is no narration or anything, so young kids wouldn't understand what is going on.

[wileyk209zback]

@SoJustCool That is the infamous Sesame Street "I Beam" segment from 1977.

This is so random, but does anyone remember a segment that played circa '82-'83 of kids running around almost like on fast forward....there was snow....no pupets...a guys creepy voice saying BRRRRRR over and over and trains going in and out of tunnels?? I was only 3 or 4 so my memory may be fuzzy but I remember that frightening the hell outta me!! Ring any bells for anyone?

[mcht50202]

ernie sleepwalking is super funny.. but other than that most of the things here are not scary to me,, the only thing it gives me shivers and fear is the mysterious theater intro which i'm sure it cannot be denied...

Well done!

I'm actually surprised no one has done a video like this for the more unfriendly Muppet Monsters like the Frackles, Uncle Deadly, the Vile Bunch and all those big bad Muppet eaters. Even that tiny purple skull Yorick is kinda creepy the way he'd just stare. Anyone agree?

[NaiTaiDai]

A LOT of Muppet Monsters are losing their Scariness Factor, even the Frackles. The only decently scary MM anymore is Big Mean Carl, right?
