Sorry it took so long. Here's the third installment in my spooky Sesame tale.

THE SESAME STREET HORROR SPECIAL: PART THREE
HERRY WEREWOLF

Herry and Grover are having a snack together. Being a werewolf, Herry eats rather messy. The doorbell rings, and Herry’s father goes to answer it. Count von Count is there.

Count: Greetings. I am the Count. They call me the…

Herry’s Dad: Yeah, yeah, I know, because you love to count things. But we have a big situation, here. Our son has become… a werewolf.

Count: (delighted) A WEREWOLF? Let me see!

Herry’s Dad: Now don’t do anything bad to him!

Count: (sees Herry) Ah, that’s one! One werewolf! Ah-ha-ha-ha! Wonderful! (thunder and lightning go off outside as a “1” appears on screen)

Herry: See, Dad? I told you he’d just count me.

Herry’s Dad: Now, son…

Count: Sorry about that. Now, I understand you are having trouble because you have gotten a werewolf’s curse, right?

Grover: That is what Herry has got!

Count: Right. I have a big book of spells that might be able to help. You can borrow it. (he gets out the book, which is extremely heavy, and drops it on the table with a bang) My next-door witch neighbor let me borrow it, and it will probably have something to help you. Well, I am off back to my castle!

Grover: Hey, are you going to turn into a bat and fly to your castle?

Count: What, are you crazy? I can’t turn into a bat!

Herry: Well, we saw a movie and there was this vampire that sucked blood and could turn into a bat and hated sunlight.

Count: Aha, I’m not like those vampires. I will go home… by cab!

Then the Count holds his cape up to his face in the Bela Lugosi Dracula-style pose, and exits the apartment. From the window, we can hear…

Count: (from outside) Taxi! (tires screech and we hear a cab door open) To the old castle outside of the city, please!

Taxi driver (Richard Hunt): (from outside) AAAH!!!

Grover: Well, Herry, are you tired yet?

Herry: No, Grover I am not. I guess it comes from being a werewolf.

Grover: Oh. I think I’ll take a little nap.

Grover goes to put on his pajamas. The doorbell rings again. Herry’s mom peers through the windows on the door to find Big Bird standing there.

Herry’s Mom: (gasps) It’s Big Bird! He can’t see Herry in this condition!

Grover, now in his pajamas, runs to the door.

Grover: I will get it! (answers the door) Sorry, Big Bird, Herry is not available!

Big Bird: Then why did I see Herry’s bike out in the driveway?

Grover: Uh, that is because HERRY, RUN!

Werewolf Herry jumps up in terror and begins to run. Big Bird is shocked at what he sees.

Big Bird: (gasps) A WOLF! Why is there a wolf in there?

Grover: But you see, Big Bird, Herry Monster is a werewolf! Whenever the moon is full, Herry becomes a wolf by night!

Big Bird: Oh… WAIT, HERRY! (runs in)

Herry: NO! I’ll just scare you!

Big Bird: Come on, Herry! Show me your problem!

Herry: (facing away from Big Bird) All right… but I warn you, it’s gonna really scare you!

Big Bird: Fine! I just want to help you.

Herry: All right… (swiftly turns to face Big Bird and reveal his wolfish features) THIS! You see…

Big Bird: I don’t get it… is that a new mask you got or something?

Herry: No. Didn’t Grover tell you? I’m a werewolf! I scare people!

Big Bird: Gee, that sounds awful. Is there a way to reverse that curse?

Herry’s Dad: There is, but it could take time.



The next morning, Herry and Grover wake up. It seems that Herry managed to fall asleep. Herry walks over to the mirror and discovers he is still a werewolf!

Herry: NOOOOO!!! IT CAN’T BE!!!

Grover: What is it? (gasps) Herry! You are still a werewolf!

Now Herry’s parents run in.

Herry’s Mom: Oh my poor baby! You’re still a werewolf, even during the day!

Herry: But… how can it be? It’s daytime, and the moon has gone down!

Herry’s Dad: I wouldn’t be so sure of that, son. (he points out the window; the sky is bright and blue and clear, and the moon can be seen in the sky)

Grover: I did not know that the moon could come out in the daytime!

Herry: What are we going to do?

Herry’s Mom: I don’t know… Grover and Big Bird already know… I think it’s time you told your friends.

Herry: (gulps) This is not going to be easy!
