The Puppetmaster

The 1989 horror film Puppetmaster (also titled The Puppetmaster (1989) and Puppet Master (1989)) was written by Charles Band and Kenneth J. Hall and directed by David Schmoeller. Paul Le Mat, Irene Miracle, Matt Roe, and Kathryn O'Reilly play psychics plotted against by a former colleague using Egyptian-spelled puppets.In the end, Charles Band determined that a direct-to-video release on October 12th, 1989, would be more financially successful than a theatrical release of Puppet Master (1989), which was originally scheduled for theatrical distribution in the summer of 1989 before being released on home video in September of that year. It attracted a big number of fans and has since grown a sizable cult following in addition to spawning a franchise.
