The Big Picture: Schlocktober 2013: Puppet Master

[gridsleep]

What amazes me about a series like this is that the German military would concern themselves so obsessively with a single little puppet show, albeit with sapient puppets, to the total disregard of 50,000 B-17s bearing down on German cities with two million pounds of TNT and white phosphorus. It was nice of the film makers to help keep things in proportion. Really, what's the piddling power of the combined British and American air forces compared to the awesome might of a handful of animated toys? I guess a strategic bomber can't jump out of the cupboard and go BOO! It can just reduce your entire existence to stone age rubble. But, what's the horror in that?

I hate Schlocktober, please stop. You have a whole other show dedicated to movies. Do you really need to do this for a whole month? Whatever, I just won't watch.

Man, I've always loved the Puppet Master movies. I even have a soft spot for Retro Puppet Master for being the last to feature the star of 3-5. I found a terrible DVD collection of the first 9 movies for a few dollars this year and had to snatch it up. I could have tried to find a higher quality collection, but a terrible collection just fits Full Moon movies better.

Now let's give Dollman his own picture. That was a great bad movie. Too bad it never took off. Hey, the guy from Dollman is still around, never too late to revive a franchise.

So I found the first 9 of these minus the spinoff ones in one package in the $5 bin at the grocery store the other day....looking forward to having time to watch them.

If anyone is interested. I found a set that had 9 Puppet Master movies (only missing the Demonic Toys one that was declared non-canon anyways) at Best Buy for 5 bucks.
