Scariest Muppet Show Moment

[behemoth]

Hopefully this thread will continue on for a while. What do you guys think the scariest Muppet Show Moment was? For me it was the Rich Little "Inchworm" sketch. I first saw it when I was about 5 and it scared the bejeesus out of me for about 5 years lol.

In the Alice Cooper episode when Alice is entertaining a female bird monster on a blanketed area of the floor in his dressing room. Scooter pops in and announces that Piggy is due on stage for "Pigs in Space" the bird monster looks in the mirror, tells Alice to change her back, and poof! he monster turns into piggy. It's cringe-worthy, what they did in this scene, and I'm sure this was Alice Cooper's influence over the muppets.

I just love that number on the Alice Cooper show

When I was a kid I watched an episode when the band decided it was time to move on from TMS. I can't even remember who the guest star was - I just remember crying because I thought I would never see those muppets again.

It was very stressful and scary!!

Without a doubt:

"The Phantom of the Muppet theatre"...

That was the Kaye Ballard episode. I've read it in The Muppet Show Book and on the episode guide. I'm still kind of wondering about that one. Didn't it end with Rowlf playing that piano-only closing theme? What made the band change their mind and come back all of a sudden?

Yes - I remember that. And at the end of the song Rowlf makes a complaint to the conductor and his reply is 'Play Boy PLay' or something like that.
