Full Moon Brings ‘Puppet Master’ Uncut to VHS With Previously Unseen Extra Footage
The original classic Puppet Master is back on VHS with an official release from Full Moon, and the company is promising “extra footage not seen in any previous North American release.”
Additionally, the new VHS release contains the “rare UNCUT version” of the 1989 cult classic, with the limited edition run of VHS tapes now up for grabs for $34.95 while supplies last.
The first 100 units will be signed by Charles Band, Full Moon also notes.
In a remote inn, Alex Whittaker (Paul LeMat) and three other gifted psychics are investigating rumors that the secret of life has been discovered by the mysterious master puppeteer Andre Toulon (William Hickey). But the psychics quickly discover Toulon’s secret of death in the form of five killer puppets…each one uniquely qualified for murder and mayhem.
“Bringing much of the eeriness director David Schmoeller brought to his landmark 1979 horror film Tourist Trap,” Full Moon writes on the back of the box, “Puppet Master also injects plenty of the fairy-tale like mysticism that would evolve over the series into the plot.”
You can grab the new Puppet Master Uncut VHS release from FullMoonHorror.com.
After scaring up a strong theatrical run, Oddity director Damian McCarthy’s Hokum heads home to Digital this week.
Settle in for a spooky supernatural chiller as Hokum arrives on all Digital platforms to rent or own beginning June 2, followed by a Blu-ray/4K Ultra HD Combo and DVD release on August 11, 2026.
Adam Scott (“Severance”) stars in Hokum as reclusive novelist Ohm Bauman. When he retreats to a remote Irish inn to scatter his parents’ ashes, the staff’s tales of an ancient witch haunting the honeymoon suite take hold of his mind. Disturbing visions and a shocking disappearance draw Ohm into a nightmarish confrontation with the darkest corners of his past.
Peter Coonan (“The Alienist: Angel of Darkness”), David Wilmot (“Station Eleven”), Florence Ordesh (“Departure”), Michael Patric (“Frontier”), Will O’Connell (“Game of Thrones”), Brendan Conroy (“Bodkin”), and Austin Amelio (“The Walking Dead”) also star.
Get a peek at the upcoming physical media release below, including a few special features.
Spooky Pictures’ Roy Lee (Weapons) & Steven Schneider (Insidious) produce alongside Image Nation’s Derek Dauchy (Late Night with the Devil), Tailored Film’s Ruth Treacy, Julianne Forde, & Mairtín de Barra, and Cweature Features’ Ken Kao & Josh Rosenbaum.
I wrote in my review for Bloody Disgusting, “A quaint Irish hotel with a deeply haunted history awaits an American writer in McCarthy’s third outing, continuing his streak for folkloric tales of supernatural karma and spine-tingling terror with a dark sense of humor.”
What’s next from Damian McCarthy? He’s currently writing a haunted house movie, but recent comments suggest he may be moving into other genres beyond that upcoming project.
