It’s in your felt puppet horror action the way you always wanted it! Help us bring puppet horror to the masses by supporting our project!

 

Horror has been such an important genre for centuries. People have always attempted to face their fears through words on the pages. It’s such a wide and wonderful reflection of humanity. We wanted to pay tribute to all the great pieces of horror literature and film that have come before us, and Cartoon Puppet Horror Theater gives us a vessel to do that!

 

We’ve brought dimension hopping fun like in Quantum Leap, Sliders, and even Exiles to the horror masses, and the trip’s just getting started! Grab a seat down front, put some extra butter on your popcorn, and enjoy the show!
