Kudos to Jack for bringing in the comics! I don't have them so I don't know about the quality, but they don't look too bad...

2024-10-12 01:44:39 +0000 UTCI'm of the growing up with a video store era and I feel like I've seen everyone of these movies despite never actually seeing a single one of them. so many movies I know of by their box cover art that I've never actually seen.

2024-10-06 15:42:17 +0000 UTCMy neighbor is from Germany and I've told him we here in America need some sort of 'Christmas monster' like Krampus. Cause here we just threaten kids with material loss (i.e. coal in your stocking). He said he agrees. Krampus, Svart Pete, La Befana, something.

2024-10-06 14:46:18 +0000 UTCA part of this is that our idea of "funny" has changed. Creepiness and fear used to have a different place in culture. Just think of the custom to scare children for educational purposes. I think clowns were never just harmless fun, they were always kind of creepy.

2024-10-06 14:41:16 +0000 UTCSo many good stories there... my favorite is how Kinski was about to leave the set somewhere in the jungle one day and Herzog threatened to first shoot him and then himself with a rifle, if he did so... :D

2024-10-06 14:23:30 +0000 UTCThere are fan films on YouTube by now that have better effects and production values than half of the "real" movies... :/

2024-10-06 14:21:26 +0000 UTCI love homicidal puppets vomiting leeches as much as the next guy, but surely, if you can suffer the entire Puppet Master series, you can review the Borgesian dreadscape that is Phantasm! \m/ \m/

2024-10-06 04:20:49 +0000 UTCWerner Herzog made a documentary about Klaus Kinski called 'My Best Fiend' (yes, it's the word "Fiend" not "Friend") that's worth checking out. You will see footage in it showing just how crazy Kinski could get on a film set.

2024-10-06 02:01:47 +0000 UTC"Aguirre" is wild. My college had a showing of it on a big screen and, coincidentally, I was taking a course on the Spanish conquest of the Americas. We could get extra credit if we saw the movie and wrote up a brief description of our thoughts.

2024-10-06 01:16:54 +0000 UTCThere's been this definite culture shift in the past 30-40 years where several things that past generations thought were funny and delightful--clowns, dolls, puppets, etc--are now universally understood to be bad and creepy. The past one or two generations just reacts viscerally against 'distorted replicas of the human form' as being affirmatively horrific and they've become natural subjects of horror films.

2024-10-06 01:04:34 +0000 UTCThat bit of trivia about David DeCoteau really hit me like a drill sergeant. This guy took every unexpected turn when it comes to movie making.

2024-10-05 16:57:00 +0000 UTCDo yourself a favor and check out "Aguirre: The Wrath of God" and "Fitzcarraldo", the two best movies he did with Werner Herzog, who is equally insane, just in a different way... :D

2024-10-05 16:47:24 +0000 UTCThis video sparked a long buried memory in my brain of watching Puppet Master 3 at some point in my childhood (as far as I remember, it was on TV and my brother was watching it). For years I had some vague recollection of a horror movie where a toy with a drill head drilled through a guys torso in a car and I think I actually saw that clip in this video. I haven't seen the first two, though. I thought this video would make me not want to watch any Puppet Master movies but it did the opposite, dammit.

Elizabeth Thompson
2024-10-04 23:59:22 +0000 UTCI will, thanks! I know Fox/Groenig stole this concept because I remember Spider Ham from my youth (born 78 so maybe ten when I saw him?) and that is definitely not when the Simpsons movie came out lol
Elizabeth Thompson
2024-10-04 23:28:25 +0000 UTCI’m a huge fan of Spider-Ham and that happens all the time. So it was no worries or offense to me at all. I’m a Spider-Ham fan artist! Please feel free to check out my IG and Follow along! Hail Spider-Ham! 🕷️🐷🕸️ https://www.instagram.com/peterporkerspiderham/
Spider-Ham
2024-10-04 22:28:56 +0000 UTCYay!! I almost deleted because I was afraid you might take offense! All Hail Spider Ham🥰

2024-10-04 22:27:02 +0000 UTCSpider-Pig is the creation of The Simpsons. A fine pig is he, however he is no Peter Porker: The Spectacular Spider-Ham!

2024-10-04 22:20:59 +0000 UTCHow embarrassing ☺️ For both you and me😒

2024-10-04 22:13:59 +0000 UTCStill holding out for the Muppets / Puppet Master crossover which also serves as a Jim Henson biopic.
The Real Zam
2024-10-04 20:08:54 +0000 UTCYou MUST do Megaflopulus! It's like a Neil Breen movie with a $100m+ budget. Saw it at Alamo in LA and I couldn't stop laughing the whole time.

2024-10-04 19:50:08 +0000 UTCIf you had class you watched Schindler's List. If you were a horror, weirdo, kid you had the Puppet Master Nazi movie.

2024-10-04 17:28:25 +0000 UTCTwo quality drops. From 3 down to 4. And after 6, dives off a cliff entirely.

2024-10-04 17:03:28 +0000 UTC"1-6 are actually not too bad." Make that 1 - 3...
Manuel Johnen
2024-10-04 16:39:18 +0000 UTCYes, I've seen them all.
Mahaloth
2024-10-04 15:49:07 +0000 UTC1-6 are actually not too bad. It's 7-14(?) are much worse, though Blade: The Iron Cross had a few moments of quality.
Mahaloth
2024-10-04 15:49:01 +0000 UTCHell yeah, this will save my evening.

2024-10-04 15:43:52 +0000 UTCGlad they mentioned 'Dolls' - a movie that's definitely re:View worthy.

2024-10-04 15:11:28 +0000 UTCI used to like the Puppet Master movies, but then they kept getting made again and again and again, which made me no longer like the Puppet Master movies.
