Puppet Master 5: The Final Chapter is a 1994 direct-to-video horror film written by Steven E. Carr among others, and directed by Jeff Burr. As its title suggests, this fifth film in the Puppet Master franchise was originally intended to conclude the series; however, it was followed by at least nine other films.
It was the sequel to 1993's Puppet Master 4, and stars Gordon Currie as the series' third Puppet Master, and Ian Ogilvy, his colleague, whose attempts to salvage the animated puppets of André Toulon (Guy Rolfe) from the Bodega Bay Inn are foiled by a demon.
As in the previous film, the puppets serve as protagonists, rather than terrorize as they had in the first and second films. In 1998, a sixth installment, Curse of the Puppet Master, was released, and the franchise has been ongoing since.
