Scared of the Dark is a 1986 Sesame Street storybook featuring Ernie and Bert.

After Ernie and Bert see a scary movie in the cinema, Ernie has trouble falling asleep that night because he fears there could be ghosts and monsters lurking all around Sesame Street. It's up to his buddy Bert to show him there's nothing to be afraid of. Eventually by the end, Ernie sleeps fine, but now it's Bert who can't fall asleep thanks to Ernie.

The book-and-audio edition features Martin P. Robinson narrating, along with Jim Henson as Ernie and Frank Oz as Bert.
