With plans to unleash an exciting set of trading cards celebrating the franchise’s history across its dozen-plus film entries, fans can stay tuned for further information on this project and the possibility of others in this collaboration.
“Puppet Master is one of the most unique and classic franchises in horror,” said Nick Barruccci, Dynamite CEO and Publisher. “We’re excited to connect with the diehard fans of the films and deliver something truly special for their collections.”
The Puppet Master series kicked off in 1989 with its eponymous first entry. Anthropomorphic puppets animated by an ancient Egyptian spell wreak havoc, equipped with dangerous devices and weapons and out to threaten people, or even to fight against other puppets. The film is considered one of the key cult hits of the home video and rental era of horror. Its massive success and following led to 10 sequels, a reboot, spinoffs, and crossovers.
More details on the first project in this team-up between two purveyors of classic horror stories will come soon!
