Cinestate just shared a behind-the-scenes shot of the great Barbara Crampton in their Puppet Master: The Littlest Reich, the latest entry in the Puppet Master franchise that will have its World Premiere at next month’s Overlook Film Festival in New Orleans, Louisiana.
In the film directed by Sonny Laguna and Tommy Wiklund, “During a road trip to a convention for the 30th Anniversary of the infamous Toulon Murders, a comic book nerd, his new girlfriend and his best friend come face to face with a set of sadistic Nazi puppets out for blood. A reimagining of the Charles Band classic.”
Crampton, who is best known for her roles in Re-Animator and From Beyond, as well as You’re Next, We Are Still Here and Beyond the Gates, stars as Officier Carol Doreski.
“My character is a tour guide and an ex-police officer,” she told Scream Mag last May. “I was part of the police crew that brought Andre Toulon down many years ago and then thirty years later, something is happening. There’s a convention and some puppets are going to be sold at this convention so a lot of people that bought puppets from Andre Toulon many years ago have come back to this first ever convention so all these people and all these puppets are brought together for the first time in a very long time and something happens.
“Obviously, I can’t say what happens but it’s very slyly written and there are a few different storylines going on and Craig has written a lot of really interesting characters that you care about so I’m really excited about that one too,” she added. “It’s completely different [from the original franchise]. This movie has a lot of comedy in it and a lot of heart and drama as well.”
