I bought this DVD for my 2 year old nephew's birthday since he loves both Elmo and the Count. My brother and sister-in-law tell me that he loves that DVD so much and some days watches it 3 or 4 times a day. They say he likes to pretend he's scared with Elmo.

My two-year-old granddaughter loves Elmo, I love anything Halloween, we both love the Count, so this DVD was made for us! If you're looking for something fun and off the beaten Elmo path, then this is it! The story line is Elmo is going to visit the Count at his castle to share some "scary" jokes with him, and fun monster songs and "old school" songs by the Count are mixed in between. My granddaughter watched this everyday for a week (and then five times in a row when she was sick) when we first discovered it, and she still enjoys revisiting it. I must confess that I loved the songs so much that I bought one of the now discontinued CDs of the same title, and my granddaughter loves listening to the music when we drive around in the car (she always asks for "more" after each song ends ;). Believe me, once you see this DVD, you'll never stop singing the Count's "bones, bones, bones" song. (Please note: this DVD can get a little scary in places when the skeletons come out or some of the monsters growl. My granddaughter was scared the first time she saw them, but after we labeled them as "scary," she likes them and will point out--with a smile--to me the "scary" moments when they come.)

they will LOVE this video! My kids adore the Count (when we go see the Bats at the zoo, they say AHH AHH AHHH). Its got lots of old/new snippets about spooky things. The songs Bones is especially good. I recommend!

It actually did scare my kids a bit so I am not sure I recommend it. They do not want to watch it again.

I like this halloween special, but I think the songs and story are better in Sesame Street Magical Halloween Adventure. This didn't really hold my "Elmo-freak" son's attention as well as the other Elmo specials. Get the Halloween Bonus pack with both of these DVD's is a better bet.
