Doktor Death: Full Moon shows off some footage from the new Puppet Master spin-off

Last week, Full Moon founder Charles Band unveiled some footage from the long-awaited sequel Subspecies V: Blood Rise in an episode of Full Moon Universe, a weekly video series in which Band gives fans updates on what his company is up to. In this week’s episode of Full Moon Universe, Band has shared some footage from the Puppet Master spin-off Doktor Death – and you can check it out in the video embedded at the bottom of this article! The Doktor Death footage can be found about two and a half minutes into the video.

Arrow in the Head got the exclusive first look at a batch of Doktor Death images last month, and you can see those HERE.

Back in 2020, Full Moon brought us the first “solo puppet” Puppet Master spin-off, Blade: The Iron Cross. Doktor Death was announced soon after the release of that one, and at the time Blade: The Iron Cross director John Lechago was expected to return to the helm. By the time filming began, Dave Parker was in the director’s chair. Parker’s previous directing credits include The Dead Hate the Living! and The Hills Run Red, plus a segment of the anthology Tales of Halloween.

A synopsis for Doktor Death was sent out in 2020, but Parker has said that it’s “all wrong” and not accurate to the movie he has made. Since a new synopsis isn’t available yet, here’s that outdated one: “Doktor Death, one of the original “living puppets”, is BACK, complete with sinister surgeries and deadly drugs. In this stand-alone shocker, a beautiful young med student is trapped in an erotic nightmare and must face-off against the demon that inhabits the evil puppet. Fantasy and reality bleed together in this eerie PUPPET MASTER chiller.” We’ll have to wait and see just how different the story of the finished movie is.
