DESCRIPTION:

From William Castle, the director of The Tingler and Strait-Jacket comes this one-of-a-kind cult classics starring the world-renowned mime Marcel Marceau in a dual role as a mute puppeteer and an eccentric inventor. The legendary gimmick-master and horror-great's final film is genuine and strikingly effective experiment in filmmaking. After the death of the inventor, the downtrodden puppeteer gleefully discovers that he can re-animate the dead with electrodes and manipulate them like marionettes. The great cast includes mimic greats Tsilla Chelton and Philippe Clay as Mr. and Mrs. Barton, Marceau's evil sister and brother-in-law. One of the film's highlights is the beautiful and haunting score by the great Alex North (Spartacus).
