Creepy puppetry

Creepy puppetry refers to the use of puppets in a way that evokes discomfort, fear, or unsettling emotions. This can be accomplished through eerie designs, unsettling movements, or disturbing themes. Often used in horror films, theater, and art, creepy puppetry contrasts the traditional perception of puppets as harmless or entertaining. Artists and creators leverage this medium to explore darker aspects of human emotion and psychology, tapping into deep-seated fears and anxieties. The juxtaposition of innocence in puppet form with ominous narratives often leaves a lasting impression, challenging audiences' perceptions of reality and imagination.
