A Sesame Street Thriller
I just discovered this fan-made tribute to the scarier moments on Sesame Street (thirty-odd years' worth). True, the writers did favor monster-movie ripoffs a lot in CTW's early years; what else could have inspired them to use a Count Dracula ripoff to teach numbers? It surprises me, though, that more old-school fans aren't admitting "Yeah, that skit scared the living [bleep] out of me when I was in kindergarten!"
