    Check out this first time watching this horror 80's movie reaction video for Puppet Master and see if I can make it through this action movie. Horror is a genre I've barely explored, mostly because I'm a huge wuss. Typically my Halloween movie viewings consist of Hocus Pocus and Halloweentown. This year I decided to expand my horror movie knowledge and try and watch these horror movie fan favourites.
    Check out my first time watching this horror 1989 movie, Puppet Master and enjoy my reaction video! Don't forget to like and subscribe for more videos! If you have suggestions for other horror movies I should watch, comment below!

    Regarding the effects, they did a mix of stop motion and on set puppeteering. The stop motion was done by David Allen, who was nominated for an Academy Award for Young Sherlock Holmes.

    The old puppeteer at the beginning is played by veteran character actor William Hickey, who appeared in films such as Prizzi's Honor, National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, Tales From The Darkside: The Movie, and was the voice of Dr. Finklestein in Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas.

    The Puppets. Blade, Pinhead, Tunneler, Leech Woman, and Jester. For the scenes of Pinhead strangling people or grabbing them. They had someone actually in the gloves doing it. Yeah there are a LOT of Puppet Master movies. They later introduce Torch, Sixshooter, and some other puppets to the mix. All of them are low budget fun films.

  • @BigGator5

    "I'm the master, and you're the puppet!"
    Fun Fact: The Blade puppet required five puppeteers to operate.
    Location Location Fact: The Bodega Bay hotel was a miniature; which was built about the size of a refrigerator. When the filmmakers found a perfect location, they hung the model in the air and used combinations of force perspective in the way to make the hotel appear as if it was actually there.
    Lovely Smile Fact: Leech Woman's mouth is made of foam latex, which makes the mouth appear to be more flexible whenever Leech Woman "coughs" up a leech. Only three quarters of the leech mechanism comes out of the puppet, and then a simple camera cut creates the illusion that an entire leech comes out of Leech Woman's mouth.
    Master Hands Fact: Pinhead's fists during the punching scenes are actually the fists of dwarf stunt woman Cindy Sorensen, who had to wear the same fingerless gloves and sweater sleeve to make it appear that it's the fist of Pinhead. Cindy cited the most difficult part of those scenes was to keep her head ducked the whole time while holding the Pinhead puppet on her shoulders and give off false punches at the same time.

    There are like 10 movies in the franchise. The third one covers the story of the old man that killed himself at the beginning of the film. You understand who these puppets are and why they act the way they do. Also each movie generally has this set of puppet characters and one or two different ones If you've seen the movie American Graffiti the actor that played Alex was in that movie.

    • @ericjanssen394
      @ericjanssen394 Рік тому

      Namely Paul LeMat, who was also good as the first half of 1980's cute "Melvin and Howard".
      However, new hands bought out Full Moon Pictures after the VHS era, they slid downhill fast, and anything after Puppet Master IV is squarely in the realm of "Cheap name-only fake direct-video horror sequel".

    No, The Puppet Master is not based on an original story or book, it's an original story written for the screen and directed by the creative team that did earlier horror films like Tourist Trap, The Seduction, Crawlspace, and Catacombs.

    • @ericjanssen394
      @ericjanssen394 Рік тому +2

      Charles Band's Empire Pictures and Full Moon was like the 50's Roger Corman of the VHS 80's:
      He had a thing for creepy stop-motion and puppets, but almost anything the two companies did in the mid-80's (I'll add "Re-Animator", "Trancers" and "Troll", no, not the second one) managed imaginative, clever, and occasionally messed-up creeps on a B-movie-going-to-video budget.

When I told adults about it, they told me it was just deja vu, and had to explain the term to me. I was pretty sure that wasn't what was happening, but I gave up tryng to talk about it.

If so, then imo 2-4 are definitely worth watching. They’re so good & it’s hard to pick a favorite. 5 is not so good & kinda ends the franchise on a bad note. But 2-4 are really good & might answer questions you had from the first one … kinda, I mean they never really answer many questions in this franchise but they touch on some of the questions & theories.
