Some people are just fine with dolls, but when it comes to puppets resembling people they cannot get out of the room fast enough. Below are some fantastic and perhaps creepy puppet photos from the 1920s to the 1950s.
1. Hand Puppets
Hand puppets are the safest puppets to have around the house. They don’t have any legs to walk around on and no one is pulling their strings. This photo was taken in 1952. [1]
2. Can Can Girls
These can-can marionettes may as well be the brides of Dracula. Photo from 1951. [2]
3. Clay Heads
A very disturbing photo of the heads of puppets. Imagine if they started to talk? Photo is from 1938. [3]
4. What a Pair!
It was 1939, what do you think these two got up to when people weren’t looking? [4]
5. My Precious
This little guy has placed two people under his hypnotic control. Photograph, 1951. [5]
6. Possession
Soul possession occurs as soon as the hand goes into the puppet. 1952 photo. [6]
7. Skeleton Ruler
The skeleton puppet was already 150 years old in 1954. Notice how he is ruling over all the other puppets? [7]
8. Puppet Master
The puppet master whispering orders to one of his minions in 1955. [8]
9. Pulling Strings
The start of a horror story is in this photo from 1939. [9]
10. No.
Not what I would want to find on my kitchen table when I head down for a midnight snack. Photo from 1940. [10]
