Interesting facts

Puppet Master 5: The Final Chapter is a 1994 direct-to-video horror film written by Steven E. Carr among others, and directed by Jeff Burr. As its title suggests, this fifth film in the Puppet Master franchise was originally intended to conclude the series; however, it was followed by at least ten other films.

Production

In 1992, executive producer Charles Band announced an upcoming film in the Puppet Master series, titled Puppet Master 4, despite not having a script for said film. The film was to be a crossover with the Demonic Toys series, with the puppets, depicted as protagonists, battling the toys, set for release in the fall of 1992. The project never materialized, and Demonic Toys instead crossed over with Dollman in Dollman vs. Demonic Toys in 1993.

Puppet Master 4 and Puppet Master 5 were shot back-to-back in Culver City and Pasadena in California in February 1993. The two films had very little pre-production due to a tight schedule. The Bodega Bay Inn's lobby was recreated as a set at Full Moon.

Actors and actresses cast for the films included Gordon Currie, Chandra West, Ian Ogilvy, Teresa Hill, Guy Rolfe, Nicholas Guest, Diane McBain, Duane Whitaker, Kaz Garas, Clu Gulager, and Ron O'Neal. Willard E. Pugh shaved his head for the role of Jason. He, Whitaker and Guest ad-libbed most of their lines.

The puppet effects and stop motion animation were supervised by David W. Allen, coordinated by Chris Endicott and Joseph Grossberg, and done by themselves, Joel Fletcher, Paul Jessel, Connie Angland, Anthony Allen Barlow, Jurgen Heimann, David Miner Jr., Kevin O'Hara, Mark Rappaport, Kirk Skodis, Holly Speriglio, Scott Woodard, and Brett B. White at David Allen Productions.
