This Friday 13^th is going to be a great time to be a horror fan, because not only is there old classic stuff to watch there’s some pretty good new stuff. I’m endorsing this one guys – The Puppetman.

The Puppetman is a convicted killer on death row. He has always maintained his innocence saying it was an evil force controlling his body as he slaughtered his victims. Now Michal, the killer’s daughter, begins to suspect that there may be some truth to her father’s claim when those around her begin to die in brutal ways. All hope rests on her shoulders to break The Puppetman’s curse.

The film stars Michael Paré, Caryn Richman and Alyson Gorske. It is written and directed by Brandon Christensen (Z, Superhost, Still/Born).

I would love to say that I’m such a ride or die friend I would help  Michal figure this out, but in this case since it’s literal – die,  I would be riding out. It’s really simple as that, she’s killing people.

The film, which just won the Popcorn Frights Jury Award for Best Feature, will make its exclusive streaming debut as part of Shudder’s annual “FearFest” programming lineup on Friday, October 13 on Shudder and will also be available to stream on AMC+.
