The Puppet Master episode of Best Horror Movie You Never Saw was Written by Cody Hamman, Narrated by Jason Hewlett, Edited by Paul Bookstaber, Produced by John Fallon and Tyler Nichols, and Executive Produced by Berge Garabedian.
Counting all sequels, prequels, spin-offs, crossovers, and even a Fangoria reboot, there are over a dozen entries in the Puppet Master franchise. Which can make the idea of diving into it rather intimidating. Especially since some of the films don’t have a stellar reputation. But while the series has ups and downs, there are some great entries. And its legion of living puppets – which can be villains or heroes, depending on who’s pulling their strings – are characters you have to see in action. So we’re urging you to give at least some of these films a chance. Starting with the very first Puppet Master (watch it Here)… which may be...

Sony has published a case study of how the Venice 2 Rialto 2 system can be utilized in complex shooting situations. It appears that the Rialto became very handy when you need to shoot on the back of a horse, as demonstrated below.
BTS of Tonight We Ride. Shooting with the Sony Venice 2 Rialto 2. Picture: Sony Utilizing the “J Cam”
One of the main strengths of the Sony Venice is its Rialto. The ability to decouple the sensor block from the camera body is valid. Actually, this idea was born by the praised director, James Cameron. After the shooting of the first Avatar, Cameron asked Sony to develop a camera where the front could be decoupled from the back. Sony engineers were called to the challenge and developed a prototype titled “J Cam” (J – for James). Then after vast R&d iterations, the Rialto unit was born. It’s worth emphasizing that...

[We're celebrating some of the most memorable horror and sci-fi movies of 1989 this month in Daily Dead's Class of 89 retrospective series! Check back on Daily Dead throughout the rest of August for more special features celebrating the 30th anniversaries of a wide range of horror and sci-fi films!]
Is there a horror movie from your childhood that gives you the creeps even as an adult? If your answer is no, then you are one lucky duckling. If your answer is yes (there are more than a few on my list), then you and I are in the same boat. I usually like to do a refresher before I write about a film, but I honestly could not bring myself to do that for today's retrospective: David Schmoeller's Puppet Master (1989) from Full Moon Features. Sometimes, the movie's poster or just the look of Blade's tiny, beady eyes and hook take me back to the first time I encountered it on TV—and the nightmares that followed.
Puppet Master tells the story of Andre Toulon (William Hickey), the owner and creator of living puppets Blade, Khan, Gengie, Tunneler, Pinhead, Leech Woman, and Jester. Before he is found by two Nazis,...

Last year we ran a schedule of every TV/Cable network schedule we could find that could be construed as Horror or Halloween related for the month of October. Let’s just say it proved useful for our readers and even for our staff when they were looking to find something to watch, wanted to program their DVR’s or didn’t want to miss out on some great “live” Horror. Isn’t there something about having a movie fed to you on TV as opposed to watching it on Blu-ray or DVD or streaming? We may not like commercials, but the randomness that you can associate with a TV program itinerary is novel. It removes a little bit of control from the audience who is all to concerned with being in control these days (just look at the reasons behind publishing a piece like this).

Puppet Master
Stars: Paul Le Mat, Irene Miracle, Matt Roe, Kathryn O’Reilly, Jimmie F. Skaggs, Robin Frates, William Hickey | Written by Charles Band, Kenneth J. Hall | Directed by David Schmoeller
Ahhh Puppet Master, a film which have seen countless times (at least over two dozen) since I first discovered it all those years ago at my local video rental store. Having owned the VHS (both ex-rental and sell-thru) and the UK and Us DVDs – the huge DVD boxset is still one of my prize possessions – my love for the film remains unbounded. So imagine how excited I was to learn that the film that got me acquainted with Charles Band’s Full Moon and the fantastic, yet perilous puppets, was finally going to see the light of day in glorious high definition on Blu-ray courtesy of 88 Films.

Mark Pellington ("Henry Poole Is Here," "Arlington Road") is probably still best known for his music videos from the 90's like U2's "One" (you know that Buffalo) or
Pearl Jam's "Jeremy" (you know that deranged kid). More recently he shot Band of Horses' "Laredo" and while doing so crafted this companion piece short with cinematographer Matt Roe.
"Thematically, I was interested in exploring desire and forgiveness, memory and home, decay and grief. I live for this stuff and needed to get out of La and connect with reality," the director explained. "The band's music is twangy and aching so the desert felt right. I needed to see and talk to people, humanity."
Pellington lost his wife a few years ago and has been tackling larger themes, something you can expect as well from his upcoming feature, "I Melt With You" staring Rob Lowe, Thomas Jane, Jeremy Piven and porn star-turned movie star,...
