Revenge Of The Puppets

A set of puppets who do not want to be replaced decide that it's time for revenge!

A dreadful calamity has fallen on Grand Fortune City. Betrayal. Desperation. Madness has taken hold of the Puppet Master as he writes his letter of heartbreak to his beloved Emilia. My dearest Emilia, It is with the deepest and most sincere regret that I have chosen to strike a bargain with evil for the restoration of your life. Though I have been able to repair our precious sons to the best of my ability, I have failed at every turn in my efforts to bring you back to us. During these many years, my soul has been consumed with a tempest of hatred for that vile half-breed tunnel troll, even to the fracturing of blood vessels in my body. Even to the fracturing of my mind. My anger for Angus Grand burned within me so strong that I lost myself in the madness of darkness. Many nights I wandered the dreary streets of Gabriel's Harbor searching out the forgotten souls of this dead world that I might enact my vengeance upon them, in pretense they were Angus Grand. It was only by the blood of those poor wretched souls that my lust for vengeance was sated, but fear not my love, I only chose the dregs of this world. Although at times I chose the Black Mist infected souls out of pure pity, the guilt was too heavy for me to bear and it did not satisfy the monster within me. I beg of you not to hate me for what I have done and am about to do. I do not suppose any man with such a broken heart as I, would do any less for the one he loves, but I ask your forgiveness in advance for the deeds I am now blood bound to fulfill. It is for the restoration of your life that I have pledged myself to their dark demands and in doing so, I have betrayed the world for you. For love. Forever yours, even into darkness. Hans - The Puppet Master

Disaster strikes when Bonsai the pug chases Pickle the cat into the street, where she is flattened by a car. But the fact that Pickle has (almost) shuffled off her mortal coil isn’t her biggest concern; she is worried that Bonsai will pursue her sister Pebble into an early grave too, unless she and Joe teach the dog a lesson…

This book is a comprehensive history of the most successful straight-to-video horror franchise of all time: Puppet Master. It provides an in-depth exploration of all 14 films to date--including a made-for-TV crossover and a theatrical reboot--and the action figures, comics, and other merchandise that have helped to keep the brand alive for the past 30 years. Puppet Master was the first film for independent producer extraordinaire Charles Band's Full Moon Entertainment, launching a franchise and a micro-budget studio that have both continued to this day. What led to the film's success? How did a little movie about killer puppets, designed to cater to the then-booming video market, wind up surviving video stores themselves? How did a series that had never even had a theatrical entry wind up with an unusually successful toy series? All of these questions are answered within these pages. Featuring new interviews with some of the biggest creative minds behind the franchise, as well as dozens of behind-the-scenes photos, this book is the ultimate guide to horror's most murderous marionettes.

The evil puppet Scarface and his wiseguys just pulled off one of the biggest heists in Gotham history. Unfortunately, there's a rat among the thieves, and the loose lips are helping Batman crack the case. Is the Ventriloquist betraying his wooden creation to the Dark Knight?

Picturing the Language of Images is a collection of thirty-three previously unpublished essays that explore the complex and ever-evolving interaction between the verbal and the visual. The uniqueness of this volume lies in its bringing together scholars from around the world to provide a broad synchronic and diachronic exploration of the relationship between text and image, as well as a reflection on the limits of representation through a re-thinking of the very acts of reading and viewing. While covering a variety of media—such as literature, painting, photography, film and comics—across time—from the 18th century to the 21st century—this collection also provides a special focus on the work of particular authors, such as A. S. Byatt, W. G. Sebald, and Art Spiegelman.
