Erin: (in kitchen, over whir of mixer) Scooter, you want to add the chocolate chips? Scooter: Sure, how much? Erin: The whole bag. Scooter: Wow. (Erin stops mixer so Scooter can pour the chips in) It's a good thing Beige isn't here, or else he'd try to eat all the batter. Erin: Well, I sent him...

Beige: (reclining on sofa) You know, I had this funny dream that I had been turned into a Scottish mountain troll and...wait, it wasn't a dream, was it? Others: It wasn't. Nora: (sitting up) It's weird - last year, we had to take all our decorations down ourselves. This year, they disappeared...

True - we are now well into hot chocolate season. And I keep a box of cocoa mix on the shelf next to my tea bags these days. (I love both tea and hot chocolate, but I'm not really a coffee drinker.) Hey, heralde, you remember how, one time when you watched Muppets at Walt Disney World, you...

I know - I spotted Christmas decorations in one of the drugstores near here last week. It's revolting. In my house, we have a strictly enforced rule: no Christmas music, decorations or anything Noel-related until after the Thanksgiving leftovers are cleared away. Once we start having coffee and...

Erin: And the truffles and sweets are kind of decimated. Back in a few. (returns to room to get reinforcements) Nora: I like how Bean's going as the March Hare. Scooter: I'm just wondering why the Jabberwock isn't here. Beige: Well, seeing as you chopped his head off on that one episode of the...

Storyteller: (biting into a truffle) Oh, no, I got raspberry juice on my clothes! Erin: Well, that's why I chose raspberries as the filling for the eyeball truffles. They make good retinas. Nora: (slurping up some punch) Has anyone gone through our haunted house yet? Scooter: Yeah, a few groups...

Oh, yeah - and since it's just once a year, that makes it all the more fun. The problem is, Halloween parties aimed at our generation put less emphasis on Halloween and more emphasis on "party." And I mean party in the libertine sense, with the boozing and the risque costumes and all that...

Erin: (glances at watch) Let's do this. A parade of spooks, frights and weirdoes heads from the room, bearing food and drinks for the night's party. Erin, as the mad scientist, carries a tureen of pumpkin soup and a covered platter of vegetables. Nora, the Corpse Bride, carries the tureen...

That's very true - and Jim and Richard's characters have frequently been on the receiving end of a pork chop. About the dinner...well, let's see - the dining hall's rigged up with all the usual spooky decorations, there's a PA system playing the usual seasonal favorites, and the cooks prepare...

Oh, yes, if there's havoc to be wreaked, Jim and Richard and co. would want to be in on it. As long as the havoc doesn't cause someone to get hurt, of course. As for me, I'm going to go to the annual spooky dinner that the dining halls hold every year, and maybe just stay in and have some...

Beige: Wait, we've got marshmallow ghosts? (runs to kitchen to get some) Nora: When do we get going on the truffles and the ice cream? Erin: Tomorrow. Those things can't be made too far in advance. But I got the cream and the chocolate and stuff this afternoon. Scooter: (lifts mask so he can...

That's okay, Claudia - it sometimes takes us a little bit to catch up with what everyone else has been writing. Let's see, tomorrow's Halloween - wonder if any ghosts we know are going to walk that night? (up in heaven) Jim: So what are you going to do, Richard? Richard: Well, since all...

(in room 7, lights are off, but with a few strategically placed lanterns casting an eerie blue glow across the suite of rooms) Storyteller: (hovering about room, as a ghostly librarian) So it's begun... (Eerie music starts to play, as everyone appears in costumes. Storyteller flies about...

Erin: (at counter, slicing into a large pumpkin) How are those potatoes coming, Nora? Nora: (peeling potatoes and slicing them) They're an eyeful. Erin: Scooter, status report on the oranges for the punch. Scooter: Drawn and quartered - er, that is, sliced and quartered. Storyteller: (mixing...

Hi, Sara, nice to see you again. And good luck with your new job! Well, of course he is. I mean, just snapping at people for no good reason goes completely against the Muppets' philosophy, don't ya know. ;) Besides, everyone who's worked with Richard has indicated that he was a joy to work...

I agree - I mean, Gary's just genial, Rita's a spotlight-hogging harpy, Bud the director's generally a lout, and Holly's just a background player. Del seems to be the only one with both a smart-alecky side and a sweet side. And maybe the show might have originally been intended to have Del as...

I know - while Rita got her own page long ago. No fair... I mean, Del is sort of a reflection of what Richard was/is in real life, a brilliant but crazy puppeteer who is excellent with children, and who'd be the best friend to a lot of people, but who has no patience for people with oversized...

Nora: Sure. We can tackle the garlic bread, and the vegetables if no one's been assigned them yet. Storyteller: That's right - prepare something healthy amid all this sugar-laden... Beige: Oh, knock off the health lecture, Storyteller. Scooter: Yeah, come on, it's Halloween. People are going to...

(group sits at table studying the menu) Erin: Well, I think we can handle the two soups. The open-air market down at Nelson Square is rolling in squash and roots. Beige: Can we do the plots with the tombstones? Nora: The pumpkin cakes sound cool, and so does the garlic bread... Scooter: And...

Erin: (opening door) Oh, hi, Ed. We'd be glad to help with the food. In fact, we've got some... (crash from the kitchen, accompanied by some screams) Beige: Not the canopic jars! Scooter: Ick...what'd you use for those brains? Nora: Um, tomato sauce, boiled macaroni and gray food coloring...
