On September 18th Full Moon released Puppet Master: The Blu-ray Collection Volume 1. This set contains Puppet Master, which was originally released on Blu in July 2010, and the Blu-ray debut of Puppet Master 2 & 3. The franchise is the most successful independent direct to video horror franchise of all time, which will continue with a tenth installment (Puppet Master X: Axis Ring which releases October 23rd.)
The first 3 films are remastered in 1080p High Definition and 5.1 Surround Sound for the FIRST TIME EVER
All of the films offer a stunning transfer, while not exactly reference quality, they are a MAJOR upgrade from the past VHS and DVD releases, which left a lot to be dered. Fans of the series will not want to miss out on this release. I can only hope that Full Moon will release the rest of the series with this high quality standard. Here's a list of the Special Features included in the set:
*Brand new Introductions by Puppet Master creator Charles Band (Puppet Master 1-3)
*No Strings Attached: The Making Of Puppet Master (Puppet Master)
*Charles Band Commentary (Puppet Master 2)
*Commentary By Writer
C. Courtney Joyner and Director David DeCoteau (Puppet Master 3)
*Original Videozone Featurettes
*Killer Puppet Master Montages
*Rare 1997 Puppet Master Action Figure Commercial
*Full Moon Trailers
The wait is over for the first three Puppet Master movies on Blu-ray, which overall is a nice upgrade, and has an awesome assortment of supplements that you won't want to miss!
