Hang on. Bunsen Honeydew is Seward and Beaker is Renfield. Kermit and Miss Piggy play Jonathan and Mina Harker.

Don't you tell me my business again.
Honestly, a Muppet version of a famous horror story sounds pretty cool and could actually work. Dracula in particular sounds awesome but you could also do Frankenstein or Phantom of the Opera.

Phantom of the Opera would especially work cause it'd just be an episode of the Muppet Show.

I was thinking Bunsen as Van Helsing, but Beaker would I guess need to be "Van Helsing's Assistant" or something.

Honeydew as Van Helsing suggests that Beaker ought to be Seward, which is a wonderful image

sucks to be right
The original Phantom Of The Opera novel is now copyright free so it was somewhat inevitable that some guy is selling this on Amazon:



It's pretty much the original novel with the names switched to Muppet names, plus a smattering of jokes

Muppets Dracula:

Dracula: Can we use Sesame Street Count?
Johnathon: Kermit
Mina: Miss Piggy
Lucy: Janice?
Van Helsing: Honeydew. Beaker is an assistant.
Renfield: Animal or Crazy Harry?

We need Gonzo, Fozzie and Rowlf in there so maybe Seward and the vampire hunter dudes.

Sweetums, Uncle Deadly and Rizzo the Rat could be monsters in the castle.

Kind of writes itself and now I want to see it.

If none of you can recognise the comedic potential of Van Helsing being played (completely straight and with no realisation from any other character or mugging at the camera) by the Count then I'm not sure we can be friends.

This isn't cool at all Looshkin! These are dark forces you're titting about with!

Every now and again I stare into space washing for a Muppets Bond film.

Dominic Cooper as James Bond.
Miss Moneypiggy.
Kermit M Frog.
Beaker and Dr Bunsen HoneyQ.
Sam the Eagle as Felix Fleiter.

All working to take down the agents of G.O.N.Z.O., who have hatched a plan to steal all the world's chickens. Their volcano base is obviously modelled on Gonzo's face, where the nose straightens out to form an airstrip.

Bond has to meet a fellow agent, working under cover as a Swedish chef. Unbeknownst to Bond, however, there is a rat in the organisation... (it's Rizzo).

Also Statler and Waldorf are civil servant penny pinchers raking Bond over the coals for how much he's costing MI5.

"Your last caper nearly destroyed a whole tube line! You could have ruined a key piece of public infrastructure!"

"Yeah, and that's the government's job!"

"Ooohhhhohohoho"


...maybe I should just write the screenplay and then ambush Disney execs/whoever owns the Bond copyright.

Needs at least one human actor as a straight man, a la Michael Caine’s Scrooge. Maybe Gary Oldman as Dracula?

This owns.

Man, so much untapped Muppet Movie potential I never thought about. It worked for A Christmas Carol. I don't see why they can't apply the formula to other genres. Or even just remake a good movie using Muppets. Jurassic Park or something like Lego does.

It sucks that The Muppets resurgence from the Jason Segal movie petered out. Not that I want to see Disney do to the Muppets what it did to Star Wars, but I still want more Muppets.

Great, now the image of Statler and Waldorf mocking the Cenobites won’t leave MY head. “You call that pain? We’ve endured worse!” “Yeah, like watching Fozzie every episode of our show!” “DOHOHOHOHOHO!”

On that note, can we have Muppet Star Wars? Gonzo as Luke, Sam the Eagle as Moff Tarkin, Fozzie as Chewie, Kermit as Obi-Wan, Miss Piggy as Darth Vader (because Miss Piggy as Leia is basically already just Leia), Camilla the chicken as Leia...
