We return to the world of creepy puppets with two of our favorite past guests.

Lara Maclean shares with us the tale of the Golden Ann, the all too real scene from Sesame Street which left Lars with some weird childhood dreams. Mark Gale chimes in with another scene featuring The Count doing a little home invading that left him scarred as a child.

 

Watch the videos here to experience it for yourself!
