Line 1:
I am telling you this because I just have to let someone about it. It was the freakiest thing I have ever seen. To begin, I have always been interested in movies about nuclear war – from the 1950s until today. I ended up joining a forum about them. I
Soon after joining, I became friends with another member. No, I
He told me he
Anyway, I went home and decided to watch. I poured myself a beer/liquor (I kinda forget) then went in, turned on the TV and put the tape in the VCR. Immediately something was off. The Sesame Street logo appeared and stayed on for about a minute.
There was no normal intro. I stopped watching the show around 1982, but saw it coming on when my parents babysat my younger cousins as late as about 1989 so I know it
It just went to a shot of the typical street setting. Then there was a flash of light and a loud
It started panning across what was normally seen. Mr
Things continued to get worse.
Line 17:
The scene panned to an alley with a trash can laying on its side. Soon, Oscar the Grouch appeared crawling in the street – obviously in pain. He then turned to the camera. Half his face was burned.
It then cut to a cartoon – it was that 1950s
It then went to a dark room. Outside a broken window, you could see fires burning. Then the sound of sobbing came. The camera moved and Bert was in
Next there was another cartoon – this time a crudely drawn unidentified city. An animated missile flew over and detonated. There were scenes of the city destroyed – including cars turning over, overpasses being crushed, etc – much like the attack scene in the British 1980s nuclear war cartoon
The camera panned down through a basement and a room below. Apparently the building had a fallout shelter. In the room were some shelves, a table with a battery operated lantern giving off light with several chairs around. Sitting around the table were Cookie Monster, Harry, Prarie Dawn, and Grover. They had a combined look of shock, fear, sadness and confusion. None made a sound. I swear this scene lasted more than 5 minutes with no sound. It finally faded out.
It then showed the back out on the street. Big Bird was lying in the road moaning and asking for Mr Snuffaluffagus. The show never made quite clear (the show in general, not this episode) if he was real or a figment of Big
Next was those aliens who always tried to figure out what things were and usually got it wrong. The one who would say
The last scene was back in the bunker. Cookie Monster went to a shelf and turned on a radio. There was at first static and then the voice of Kermit the Frog. He sounded MUCH more scared than I ever heard him on there, the Muppet Show, movies or anywhere else. His voice every so often would break as he was trying not to cry. He said:
''
Cookie Monster switched the radio off. The scene then faded to black and the normal credits rolled – with no sound or music whatsoever. I
I will NEVER let there be a chance a child could see this.
