Sesame ghost
PERFORMER Peter Linz
DEBUT 1997

A ghost made his debut in the direct-to-video production Elmo Says BOO! His appearance is indicative of a typical ghost made of a sheet with Muppet eyes.

He haunts Count von Count's castle and appears in response to the Count's "funny, scary joke:" "What is a ghost's favorite dessert?" From off screen, the ghost swiftly floats into frame to provide the punchline: "Boo-ooo-berry pie!" The gag tickled the Count's skeleton friend's funny bone.

The ghost appears again during the special's closing credits, moaning and floating around a room with the Count's bats and an animated, chuckling rendition of the Mona Lisa. He figures prominently on the back cover of the home video release behind a frightened Telly Monster.

Twenty-seven years later, the ghost appeared again in the "12 Treats of Halloween" song published online. He features in the sixth window of an Advent calendar revealing Cookie Monster's "six gummies stretching" (while stretching a single gummy worm).
