Puppetry in cinema and television: the magic behind the scenes

By admin

The concept of a puppet master has long fascinated and captivated the human imagination. The idea of someone covertly controlling the actions and decisions of others like puppets on a string is both intriguing and unsettling. The term "puppet master" refers to a person or group that manipulates or controls others for their own gain or agenda. The power that a puppet master wields can be dangerous and far-reaching. They have the ability to influence the thoughts, emotions, and actions of those under their control. This control can be exerted through various means, such as manipulation, coercion, or deceit.


In The House of Marvels, a doll museum, with Andre Toulon's puppets in a cage, watching their current master, a man named Dr. Magrew (George Peck), stuffing something into a crate. Before leaving, he promises the puppets that things will be different next time. He drives into the woods, where he puts down the crate and douses it with gasoline, then sets it on fire. From inside the crate, faint screaming can be heard. The next morning, Dr. Magrew's daughter, Jane (Emily Harrison), has just returned home from college. She asks her father about Matt, his assistant. Her father tells her that Matt left, since his father was ill. He and Jane decide to drive into town to take their minds off things. Robert "Tank" Winsley (Josh Green), a very tall but meek young man, works at the gas station in town. He passes his time by carving small wooden statues. He is frequently harassed by bully Joey Carp (Michael D. Guerin). Jane and Dr. Magrew arrive and tell Joey to get lost. Jane finds one of the statues that Robert was carving and complements him on it, then shows it to her father. Dr. Magrew introduces himself and Jane to Robert, and offers Robert a job helping him with the Marvel show. Robert accepts and they drive back to the house.

While Puppet Master 5 was intended to be the final installment of the series four years earlier, Curse of the Puppet Master is a standalone sequel that promptly revived the series, which has been ongoing since. Presented here for the first time fully uncut in HD, using a composite of the original 35mm negative, original SD release, and Digi-Beta videotape master, this is the definitive version of this classic film.
