need to be more upsetting puppets in movies

Exactly

that's LIFEFORCE, right? I caught up with that not long after Tobe Hooper passed and was surprised how much I liked it.

Genuinely love Lifeforce. I went back and forth on which upsetting puppet to use here. My second choice was this upsetting Patrick Stewart puppet.

We need more movies like Lifeforce. Big budget insane bs that rocks.

we need a return to tradition. (R-rated gonzo space horror that inspire the right sort of soul to discover stuff like QUATERMASS AND THE PIT)

I might have one of those stashed away somewhere...

that stick figure meme where the skeptical guy says something will never happen (in this case "Patrick Stewart won't throw heat in some 7th-billed pre-TNG role") in one frame and does a spit-take in the 2nd frame.

Look at all the international art it's amazing on these one sheets unclefishbits.com/i-wish-lifef...

I wish Lifeforce was as good as the one sheets and art from the 1985 film. - Uncle Fishbitsunclefishbits.com I guess it’s an example of letting creatives like O’Bannon & Hooper run the show, then? Because it looks 10 years *older* than Alien or Poltergeist, and came out AFTER. That film was a snooze that tur...

This one was so good after hyping up Quato for so long. Takes guts to spend like a whole hour saying "wait until you meet THIS guy" and that guy is a puppet.

Quato was the puppet master, the host body George was the puppet.

Watching this movie, I think it’s clear that people in the uk have the wrong idea of what possums are.

we never corrected them on the biscuit thing and here we are

SO GOOD.

by the writer and star of Garth Marenghi's Darkplace, Matthew Holness!

That blew my mind. He'd been sandbagging all these years...

comedians make some of the best horror and that's why i'm still waiting for eric wareheim to stop food blogging and get with his true calling

or at least make some more music vids

May I suggest Psycho Goreman

oh yeah that was fun

It's the heckin' best

Have you seen Stopmotion? It came out this year and the puppets are unsettlingly moist

so moist

People love to talk about Mathilda May in this movie and rightly so, but the lengthy close-up on this zombie's gyrating crotch is memorable for entirely different reasons

the spinal fluid dripping and pooling is memorable

That's the moment that hooked me at age 11. LIFEFORCE was my coked-up, horned-up Quatermass gateway drug. Probably one of the ten most important movies in my life.

“The pain of being DEAD…” Beyond the incredible puppets, ROTLD forever planted into my brain a thought that’ll really fuck with me on my death bed.

not as gory but still unsettling

More puppets like Ivan from Hellboy! They should have let Del Toro make his Hobbit creatures practical and get weird with it, he loves making guys.

My mind goes to the baboon from The Fly

What movie is this shot even from? To me, it looks like the zombie torso from Return of the Living Dead. But people are also talking about Lifeforce in the replies, and I know they use similar looking puppets in that one.

this is the return of the living dead puppet yes, we are talkign about both films and puppetry in horror in general

Brains ease the pain!
