In a climatic set piece, Peter writes and stages a puppet musical version of Dracula called A Taste for Love, assisted by his step-brother Brian. Jim Henson's Creature Shop provided the Dracula puppets performed by the characters. The Creature Shop created four soft foam full body puppets with eye mechanisms - Dracula, Van Helsing, the angel and the succubus. Additionally, the Creature Shop created five dancing mummies for the final number. The dancing mummies were four life size body puppets with mouth mechanisms in a line, controlled by puppeteer in the middle dressed as a mummy.

  • In a climatic set piece, Peter writes and stages a puppet musical version of Dracula called A Taste for Love, assisted by his step-brother Brian. Jim Henson's Creature Shop provided the Dracula puppets performed by the characters. The Creature Shop created four soft foam full body puppets with eye mechanisms - Dracula, Van Helsing, the angel and the succubus. Additionally, the Creature Shop created five dancing mummies for the final number. The dancing mummies were four life size body puppets with mouth mechanisms in a line, controlled by puppeteer in the middle dressed as a mummy. Peter Brooke served as creative supervisor and Michael Oosterom acted as production supervisor. The puppet entourage, made with fleece, included Count Dracula, Professor Van Helsing, a succubus (resembling the Sarah Marshall character), and an angel (modeled after Rachel), among others. The Henson puppeteers trained Segel, who sang and performed live as Dracula while Bill Hader (as Brian) sang and operated Van Helsing. Brooke noted that "We were concerned that the main hero puppet of Dracula was going to be performed by an actor, and not a professional puppeteer. But Jason is amazing and has taken to puppeteering like a duck to water." Henson puppeteers, some of whom appeared on-screen, operated the other characters and assisted Segel and Hader. The Dracula puppet was later performed by Segel and Nathan Danforth on the 1,000th episode of The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson on December 15, 2009. It was working on this movie with Jim Henson's Creature Shop that inspired Jason Segel and Nick Stoller to write and produce The Muppets for Disney.
