Look Shawty A Ghost sketch

Look Shawty A ghost was an all black sketch show based on Halloween and real spooky spooky things. Produced by the great SaVaughn McClaine. I wrote three sketches! Here they are!

The Rap Appreciation Club for Whites

TYLER - black

ADAM - in white face

The White Chorus - all in white face

TYLER

Alright, bro. I’ll see you tomorrow at school!

ADAM

Alright, see ya too bro!

TYLER and ADAM dap up and 

TYLER exits.

ADAM

Ok, the close is clear.

Cult like music enters the room as 

more white faces enter with robes. 

they hand ADAM a robe as he puts 

it on.

ADAM(cont.)

Finally we can commence the meeting of our Rap appreciation Club for white people! Or RACFWP! Brother BRADY, play some heat for us.

My Nigga by YG plays on pill as 

the rest start singing and dancing 

in the corniest way. It is 

definitely choreographed. As the 

second chorus enters, so does 

TYLER with the majority of dancers 

probably twerking. All except ADAM 

see TYLER and immediately shut the 

music off with ADAM still dancing 

and singing.

ADAM

Guys we need to stay in formation-- Hey Tyler… uh… How’s it hangin’?

The Blackness Monster

BLACULA - BLACK DRACULA

BLIGOR - BLACK IGOR

BLACKENSTEIN - BLACK FRANKENSTEIN 

BLACKSHE - BLACK BANSHEE

The scene starts with some organ 

music with BLACULA entering 

violently and IGOR walking in. 

BLACULA

Ahh! Agony! Pain! Cringe! Bleh!

Enter BLACKSHE, and BLACKENSTEIN

BLACKSHE

What’s the matter, Blacula?

BLACULA

Blackenstein, Blackshe, I have read something truly haunted…. FAN MAIL from humans! BlIGOR! read me the fan letters! 

BLIGOR

Yes, master.

BLACULA

Ok, cut the music. Bligor, we talked about this. I don’t like it when you call me master. Let’s just keep that word in the past, huh?

BLIGOR

Sorry, bad habit….. Ma-.. man… Ahem… Dear Blacula… you’re so cool. I’m just a stupid creep loser human. I want to be a vampire! I’ve always connected with you and your people, so I already feel like I identify anyway. I just want to be scary and dangerous when I walk the streets at night. I want to be Blacula! Please turn me, Blackula. Sincerely, Robert P.

BLACULA

He wants to be black-ula… bleh!

BLANSHE

Yikes… 

BLACULA

He does not understand… YES it’s cool to be blacula.. But sometimes it also sucks tangy blood. We lived through Tulsa-Vania, 1921. (To the audience) Google that, it was bad.

BLIGOR

There’s more.. Ahem.. We know it was hard being hated, but It’s 2022. We’re all cool now. I’m one of the good ones. Signed Jared L.

BlACKENSTEIN

(Sarcastic) Yay! Blackenstein loves the good ones.

BLANSHE

I don’t know. Maybe make him one of us to show him our side?

BLACULA

He cannot be Blacula. He would crack too easy. He’d be Crackula.

BLANSHE

And Crackula is not invited in our community. We lived through the 90’s(To the audience) Google it, it was bad.

BLIGOR

I have more letters. These are for Blanshee and Blankenstein.

BLANSHEE

I got fans too! 

BLACKENSTEIN

(Sarcastic) Frankenstein can’t wait.

BLIGOR

Dear Banshee, slaaaaaay queeen. I love your voice, you’re so loud and wild! I know that the whole world hates you, but if I were you, I wouldn’t be silenced. I’d call the police or something. #hear me roar. Wish I was you. You dat bitch, Miley C.

BLACULA

wooh…

Beat

BLANSHE(loud)

Am I loud? 

Beat

BLACULA

No…

Beat

BLACKENSTEIN

Well you are a banshee… you do scream in grief every night…. It’s hard for me to sleep sometimes….. Because of how loud you are. 

BLANSHE

I cried for months for the murder and slaughter of innocent black lives like Emmett Till, (to audience) yeah Google that shit, it was bad.

BLACKENSTEIN

(to audience) Or watch his new movie, coming to Theaters this October.

BLIGOR

Last letter… Dear Frankenstein… you black mandigo meat freak. How is such a big boy like you not found a woman like me? You need a sugar mother? Because I can afford a man like you around my house. I’ve got so many chores for you. Sex chores… love, Kris J.

BLACKENSTEIN

BLACULA

BLACKENSTEIN

Blackenstein feels too self conscious about his body to show face again…

BLACKENSTEIN starts to slowly 

exit stage.

MICHAEL

I was wondering if you were free on Friday to like- watch a movie or something.

DONNA

Like on a date?

MICHAEL

Yeah.. something like that.

DONNA

Awe, Michael, of course! But on one condition, I pick the movie.

MICHAEL

Fine, Sure I can watch the notebook or-

DONNA

Let’s watch Emmett Till! (to audience)In theaters coming this October!

MICHAEL

You want to watch Emmett Till? In theaters? this October? You know there’s other horror movies happening that aren’t downright depressing. 

DONNA

We mustn’t forget Emmett Till’s story, Michael.

MICHAEL

I get that we shouldn’t forget. But I’d rather watch.. I don’t know… anything else on a date… Minions the Rise of Gru?

DONNA

Michael you know nothing of romance.

MICHAEL

You don’t either if you want to watch Emmett Till. why don’t we cuddle and watch 12 years a slave right after? And then we can make out with the Green Mile on.

DONNA

The Green Mile isn’t a real story. That was written by a white man.

MICHAEL

That’s not the point. They’re all sad movies about black people. I can’t woo you when there’s Viola Davis’ snot crying on the screen.

DONNA

If I can’t sit down and bond over trauma with you, then I don’t want you!
