1. Yikes!

5. Brrrr.

6. And still the order from the House of Mouse remains in force: "Stay. Ripped. Off."

The difficulty with Muppet Sandman is, who would you get to play Merv Pumpkinhead? Casting a Muppet as any of the serious or semi-serious characters has obvious comic potential, but what do you do with the one who's already ridiculous?

I'm sure Miss Piggy would want the role of Death and I'm sure Janice would be absolutely perfect in it.

For Mervyn, perhaps Dr. Teeth?

Michael Caine is awfully good with Muppets, yes!

ETA: I suppose we couldn't pack a gratuitous Stanley Tucci in there for this role, hm...
