THE SESAME STREET HORROR SPECIAL PART TWO
HERRY WEREWOLF
It’s morning. We see Herry all covered up in his blankets in his bed. He removes the covers from his bed, and we see that Herry Monster appears to be back to normal!
Herry: Hey… I’m ME again! But how? I think I should ask my mom.
Herry goes into the kitchen where his mother is preparing breakfast.
Herry: Look at me! I’m normal again!
Herry’s Mom: That’s WONDERFUL, Herry! But it will not last.
Herry: Not last? What do you mean?
Herry’s Mom: Well, werewolves only become werewolves when the moon is out, and when it is full. So you are safe for the day. But once the sun begins to set, you must hurry home as quickly as possible, before you change into a werewolf again!
Herry: OK, Mom.
…
Later, we’re at the courtyard between 123 Sesame Street and Hooper’s Store. Herry is talking with Big Bird and Telly and Grover and Elmo.
Big Bird: Boy, that movie sure gave me the creeps! I didn’t get to sleep until around midnight!
Telly: I’ll say! But at least I was able to sleep. But I don’t get it why Herry had to run home before the movie was over.
Herry: Well, guys, I think I should tell you. I… uh, I…
Elmo: What is it?
Herry: …I had a TV show I didn’t want to miss. Yeah. I have to watch it every week!
Telly: Oh… I understand. Did you sleep all right?
Herry: I think so… (to the camera) I can’t tell them the nightmares I had about me being a werewolf. (to Telly) I was pretty hot, though. Must have been my new pajamas.
Grover: I could not really sleep well either. I dreamed that the Count turned evil!
Big Bird: Well, dreams can be pretty strange in ways. Once I dreamed that a big bag of birdseed fell from the sky! It landed on me, knocked me down, and then began pouring birdseed in my mouth! It looked rather frightening at first, but I then began to enjoy tasting the birdseed. I woke up laughing.
Herry: Those are dreams for ya!
Gordon: (walks in) Hey guys, Big Bird. Talking about that movie?
Herry: Sort of. We’re also talking about the dreams we have.
Grover: It is a very interesting conversation, I must add.
Gordon: I’m glad to hear that.
Elmo: Elmo not sure if he want to watch another monster movie.
Grover: Maybe we should have waited until we were older.
Big Bird: Yeah… but maybe we should make our OWN monster movie!
Telly: That’s a great idea! I just got a new video camera! I could shoot it!
Grover: And I could write it!
Telly: But who should star?
Elmo: Maybe the Count could be the monster?
Big Bird: Maybe. But we have to THINK of more good ideas.
Telly: What about YOU, Herry? What do you want to do for the movie?
Herry: Uh, I don’t know…
Grover: Hey, Herry, my mommy suggested that I sleep with a friend tonight. You know, with that scary movie and all. Are you up for it, Herry? (slaps his back)
Herry: Uh, I don’t know… um, my mom is cleaning the house, and it smells so bad you could get sick from it.
Grover: Oh, Herry, I do not believe that! Can I at least sleep over tonight?
Herry: Hmm… OK, but there is something I have to warn you about.
Grover: Ooh! Tell me now!
Herry: Not here, Grover. We will have to go over there. (points over to near the nest area)
They go over there, near Oscar’s can. Herry begins to whisper.
Herry: (whispering) Now, I have been cursed by an ancestor of mine. When the sun goes down and the full moon comes out, I turn into a wolf!
Grover: But Herry, that is ridiculous!
Herry: I’m not joking, Grover! This is serious! When the full moon is in the sky, I become a werewolf. I’m afraid to tell my friends, and I don’t want them to see me like that, because I don’t want to scare anybody!
Grover: Oh… like in the movie?
Herry: Pretty much. I am now due home at sunset so I am not on the street when I transform. The whole reason I left early last night was because I have become a werewolf and I didn’t want to show ya! It was scary.
Grover: Oh… well, I do not believe it until I see it. But if I do, I can try to help you.
Herry: Promise?
Grover: I promise.
They shake hands. Suddenly, Oscar pops out of his trash can.
Oscar: I wouldn’t hang around here if I were you! When the moon comes out, a wolf prowls Sesame Street! He scared me last night! (goes back in his can)
Herry: SEE? Oscar saw me as a werewolf and I frightened him!
Grover: This sounds very serious. OK, Herry. I now believe you.
…
Later that day, the sun is starting to set. A nearby church clock begins to strike six. Herry points at the sun.
Herry: Look! The sun is setting! We must get home.
Grover and Herry walk down the street. Once they get to Herry’s building, they walk in. Herry’s mom and dad are both there.
Herry’s Mom: Herry! Why is Grover here?
Herry: Don’t worry, Mom. He knows the secret. He says he can try to help me.
Herry’s Dad (Marty Robinson): OK, son. But don’t try to scare him, all right?
Herry: I won’t, Dad.
A ding sound comes from the kitchen.
Herry’s Mom: Ooh, it’s time for dinner!
Later, the table is really messy.
Herry’s Mom: That was a really good meal!
Grover: I must agree, ma’am. That was good. (to Herry) I cannot believe your family eats the plates after the food!
Herry: What, you didn’t see that up there? (points to a sign reading “Monster dinners are really great, we eat the food, and then the plate”)
Grover: Oh, I get it. (gasps) Herry, look! The moon is out!
Herry gasps and stares at the moon. The “Mysterious Theater” theme begins playing in the background, as a wolf howling is heard. Herry covers his eyes and tries to hold it off.
Herry: Grrrr…
Grover: Let me help you, Herry!
Herry: No, Grover! I… cannot… resist… the transformation!
The moon shines brighter, and Herry turns away. Grover looks puzzled.
Grover: That looks rather painful.
Herry: It is at first… now don’t be scared because…
Herry, now having transformed into a werewolf again, then turns to face Grover.
Herry: …I’M STILL MYSELF!
Grover: Yipe! Herry… you… you were not kidding at all! You really ARE a werewolf!
Herry: (sadly) I know… there’s nothing I can do about it!
Herry’s Dad: Heavens to Betsy! You’ve become a werewolf again, Herry! We don’t know what we can do about this!
Grover: You know, I once saw a book at the Sesame Street library that was all about curses and black magic and stuff like that. Maybe it will help!
Herry: I’d better come, too. I’m the one who is a wolf!
…
Later that night, they go to the Sesame Street Library. Herry is still a werewolf. The library is closed. They go through a back way.
Herry’s Dad: I have a friend of mine who works here, and he gave me a key to enter here.
They walk in. It is really dark. Herry’s Mom grabs a lit candle and they walk along the bookshelves. Grover stops them at one point.
Grover: OK, the book is on one of these shelves. I cannot reach it, though. Herry, you are a strong guy, right?
Herry: Yes. I feel even stronger as a werewolf. (picks up Grover) Upsy-daisy!
Grover: Here it is! (Grover is lifted down by Herry, and Grover holds up a book, entitled “Book of Magic and Spells”) This could help us!
Back at the apartment, they look through the pages of the book.
Grover: Drat! There is nothing here to help with werewolf curses!
Herry’s Mom: I know! We’ll call the Count! He’ll know what to do.
Herry: Are you sure, Mom? All he would probably do is count us. Besides, I might scare him!
Herry’s Mom: Don’t worry. The Count is a vampire, similar to how you are a werewolf. Trust me, he will probably be able to help us!
