The Daily Beasts
For theme projects (like #Kaijuly, #Mocktoberfest, and #SeasonsBeatings—for example),
a new film/show is profiled every day by a different writer.
PUPPET MASTER (1989)
The Full Moon classic proves straight-to-video doesn’t have to be a dirty word.
TALES FROM THE HOOD (1995)
The powerful anthology includes a terrific segment on killer puppets.
TRILOGY OF TERROR (1975)
A made-for-TV movie with one nightmarishly memorable doll segment.
DOLLS (1987)
How Stuart Gordon’s film lays a path of what might have been (…with Disney?).
PUPPET MASTER III: TOULON’S REVENGE (1991)
The tiny terrors take on the Third Reich in this perfect prequel.
CHILD’S PLAY (1988)
Doll-O-Ween kicks off with a look at Chucky’s first appearance on screen.
JCVD (2008)
In which the world discovers Jean-Claude Van Damme can act as well as he can kick…
REPLICANT (2001)
Double Van Damme (again) in this overlooked and possibly under appreciated film.
NO RETREAT, NO SURRENDER (1985)
Bonkers film only has a bit of Van Damme, but it’s still worth watching.
