Also we can&#8217;t forget our stars of the series, the puppets themselves. Blade, Six-Shooter, Pinhead,\u00a0Jester,\u00a0Tunneler,\u00a0Leech Woman, Torch, and many more. They made a cultural impact on the genre and are still talked about today.<\/div>\n<div><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/somewhatnerdy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/Puppet-Master-21.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-7005\" title=\"Puppet Master 2\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/somewhatnerdy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/Puppet-Master-21-e1327161428677.jpg?resize=660%2C525\" alt=\"\" width=\"660\" height=\"525\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div>My advice to you is to try and get this series watched ASAP! Why? well the word is out that a reboot of the series is in production, in 3-d so try and watch the originals before CGI sets in.
