Wissenswertes

Retro Puppet Master is a 1999 American direct-to-video horror film written by Charles Band, Benjamin Carr and David Schmoeller, and directed by David DeCoteau. It is the seventh film in the Puppet Master franchise, a prequel to 1991's Toulon's Revenge, and stars Greg Sestero as a young André Toulon, Jack Donner as an Egyptian sorcerer responsible for teaching Toulon how to animate his puppets, and Stephen Blackehart, Robert Radoveanu and Vitalie Bantas as demons who pursue Toulon for his magic.

Production

After reviving the Puppet Master franchise with Curse of the Puppet Master in 1998, Full Moon decided to make another prequel. The original idea for the film was to take place following Puppet Master III: Toulon's Revenge, with Toulon and his puppets escaping Germany by train, after which they are confronted by Nazis and demons.

The film was shot in Romania over two weeks in the fall of 1998, with a budget of around $30,000. The film is notable for being the only entry in the series to both not feature the theme music composed by Richard Band and be rated PG-13. Retro Puppet Master was Guy Rolfe's last appearance as Andre Toulon, aside from stock footage in Puppet Master: The Legacy.
