10 Horror Movie Sequels You Had No Idea Were Just Released

10. Puppet Master: Doktor Death

If you're much of a horror fan you've probably at least heard of the Puppet Master franchise, as began with 1989's eponymous direct-to-video entry.

Despite scoring mixed reviews, the first Puppet Master was a commercial success on VHS and quickly amassed a cult following which allowed producer Charles Band to spin it off into a franchise under his Full Moon Pictures production label.

And if you were old enough to be a conscious human being in the early 1990s, you might recall seeing copies of the first few Puppet Master sequels in your local video rental store, but by the turn of the century the franchise's popularity had certainly waned.

Yet Band has continued to produce Puppet Master sequels and spin-offs to this day of wildly varying quality, with the fifteenth film in the series, Puppet Master: Doktor Death, being quietly released this past October.

The trailer makes it clear that the production values... aren't great, but there's nevertheless a kitschy charm to the murderous puppetry that's apparently kept the die-hard fans returning for each and every new volume.
