I've heard of people reporting monstrous crimes who, afraid the police wouldn't believe them, lied to make sure they'd investigate or punched up the story a bit so the press would take interest. This happened in one horrible police torture case in New York and a case of farmers murdering farm workers. The lesson of Attack of the Puppet People is not to tell police crazy stories you know full well they'd never believe even if they're true. A young woman goes to police to report that her boyfriend had been turned into a doll.
A lonely doll maker takes to shrinking people. Uses them as puppets in a little puppet theater he plays with at night. The puppet people never really "attack".
I'll give away the ending. A couple of his victims escape and use his device to return to their normal size then they shove him out of the way and set off to report him to the police. Like that would do any good.
Stars John Agar, John Hoyt and June Kenney.
With Hank Patterson (Fred Ziffel on Green Acres) and Bill Hickman (the stunt driver in the Dodge Charger in Bullitt).
Directed by Bert I. Gordon.
