Puppet Master 5: The Final Chapter is the fifth in Puppet Master series of horror films. The film was released in 1994, shortly after the previous installment. As the title would indicate, this film was supposed to close the Puppet Master franchise, and for several years it was indeed the final in the series but demand from fans ended that notion four years later.

[edit] Plot
The band of living puppets go up against a demonic pharaoh from another dimension who controls his own band of murderous puppets. Not in fact the final chapter, this was followed by CURSE OF THE PUPPET MASTER.
After the events of Puppet Master 4, Rick Myers has been arrested under the suspicion of having caused the murders which occured in the prequel. His boss Dr. Jennings bails him out, but only to retrieve the secrets of the puppets for his own gain. Little do they know that Sutek, the master of the Totems, has decided to take matters into his own hands. Transferring his life essence into a puppet-sized form, he hunts down all who know the secret of Toulon's puppets - including Myers and his girlfriend Suzie.

[edit] Trivia
- The film was shot back-to-back along with the previous installment Puppet Master 4.
- This film, along with the first five chapters were only available on DVD through a Full Moon Features box set that was out of print but now available from the Full Moon Direct website as well as from them through Amazon.com. The box also included the sixth and seventh chapters of the franchise and a bonus disc containing 45 movie trailers. Other than the first three films which have been released seperately as a Spanish region free DVD, the films have not been released individually themselves yet.
- This film marked the last time David Allen would work on the special effects for the series. Subsequent follow-ups used a combination of rod puppets and string puppets, save Curse of the Puppet Master, which relied heavily on stock footage for action sequences.
