At first glance, Puppet Master seems like a film that has no redeeming factors-- I mean, puppets? That come to life? Really? However, it's campiness is its saving grace. Basically, a puppeteer learns some Egyptian trick to give life to inanimate objects, so he tries it out on his clan of puppets. However, when the Nazis try to sieze his powers, he kills himself and buries the puppets in an old hotel. Years later, four psychics arrive at the hotel to mourn the suicide of their friend, another psychic. Soon, though, the puppets awaken and apparently have all sorts of evil goodies, including a drill for a head, a leach that pops out of a doll's mouth and into a person's, etc. Considering I am deathly afraid of worms, you can guess what the most horrifying part for me is....
Luckily for all you killer doll lovers, you can watch Puppet Master instantly on Netflix. However, if you really, really like funny horror flicks from the 1980's, you can buy it directly on Amazon. In the meantime, check out this spooky trailer:
P.S. Apparently, to avoid an X rating, the director had to replace red blood which supernatural-esque green blood. Yuck!
