**Night of the Living Muppets**

Title: **Night of the Living Muppets**

---

In the small town of Sunshine Grove, the air once echoed with laughter and the joy of children tuning in to see their beloved Muppets on television. But this evening, the town would be stained with blood, fear, and unspeakable horrors.

---

**ACT 1: Innocence Lost**

The camera zooms in on a cozy, suburban living room. The TV flickers with static before settling on "The Muppet Show." We meet our protagonist, **David Stone** (mid-30s), a single father, tucking his 8-year-old daughter, **Emily**, into bed after a night of watching Muppets reruns.

**David**: "Sweet dreams, princess. Remember, if you have any nightmares, your old man's right here."

**Emily**: "Thanks, Daddy. I love you."

**David**: "I love you too, Emily."

David turns off the lights and closes the door. In the background, the TV signal abruptly cuts out, replaced by an eerie, pulsating signal that flickers in unholy rhythms.

---

**ACT 2: The Awakening**

Emily screams, shattering the night’s silence. David bolts up, rushing to her room. The window is wide open, curtains flapping wildly in the wind, and Emily is nowhere to be seen. Panic stricken, David races outside.

**David**: "Emily! EMILY!"

He stops, frozen in terror, as he spots **Kermit the Frog**, holding Emily by the hair. Her eyes are wide with fear.

**Kermit** (in a guttural voice): "We should’ve stayed on TV where it’s safe. Now, let’s have some fun."

David lunges forward, but a flash of steel from Kermit's blade gashes David across the arm. Blood sprays, and he falls back in agony.

**David**: "Leave her alone, you... you MONSTER!"

**Emily**: "Daddy, help me!"

---

**ACT 3: The Resistance**

David awakes in his living room, the dull light of dawn filtering in. His arm is bandaged, though crudely. His old friend **Tom** (40s), an ex-cop who also lost a child to the Muppets, hovers over him.

**Tom**: "You’re lucky I found you. It's worse than we thought. The Muppets... they’ve turned. They feast on human flesh now."

The camera pans over a local news report with images of chaos and carnage as the once-child-friendly Muppets now wreak havoc.

**David**: "We need to find Emily. We need to stop them."

---

**ACT 4: The Hunt**

The unlikely duo gear up, ill-prepared but resolute. David carries a shotgun and a satchel of ammo, while Tom wields a baseball bat and a pistol. They navigate through a town now unrecognizable—homes aflame, streets littered with dismembered bodies.

They make their way to the **Muppet Theater**, its neon sign now flickering ominously. The doors creak open; inside, it’s a grotesque playground of gore.

**Tom**: "Stick close. These freaks know their way around."

As they venture deeper, the twisted silhouettes of familiar Muppets stalk them. **Miss Piggy** lunges from the shadows, dripping with blood, her eyes glowing with a malevolent glint.

**Miss Piggy**: "Time for the grand finale, boys."

David fires his shotgun, blowing her back into a wall with a sickening thud. Blood splatters over the walls decorated with sinister Muppet caricatures.

---

**ACT 5: Hell on Earth**

In the heart of the theater, they find Emily caged on the main stage. She’s alive but terrified. Standing guard is **Animal**, chains wrapped around his limbs.

**Animal**: "Hungry... HUNGRY!"

David rushes forward, firing shot after shot. Animal finally falls, his grotesque form twitching. However, before they can reach Emily, **Gonzo** and **Fozzie Bear** appear, gnashing their teeth.

**Fozzie**: "Waka waka, time to FEAST!"

Tom is tackled by Gonzo, the lunacy in his eyes as he tears Tom’s throat out with jagged teeth. David lets out a primal scream, unleashing a fury of bullets, obliterating Gonzo in a spray of gore.

David manages to free Emily, and they sprint for the exit.

---

**ACT 6: The Final Escape**

The father and daughter burst into the blinding light of day only to be confronted by the ringleader—**Kermit**.

**Kermit**: "Hello again, David. Leaving so soon?"

David pulls Emily behind him, his hands steady but eyes wild.

**David**: "It ends here, you sick abomination."

David unloads his final rounds into Kermit. The frog staggers, blood oozing from countless wounds, before crumpling to the ground. David clutches Emily, tears of relief streaming down his face as sirens wail in the distance.

---

**ACT 7: The Aftermath**

In the aftermath of the Muppet massacre, Sunshine Grove tries to rebuild. David and Emily sit on their porch, scarred but alive.

**Emily**: "Will they ever come back, Daddy?"

**David**: "No, sweetheart. They’re gone for good."

But as night falls, an ominous chuckle echoes from a dark corner.

**Kermit** (voiceover): "We'll be back... for your dreams."

---

The screen fades to black, leaving behind an uneasy silence, as the town’s nightmares continue.
