Plot hole: We discover that Teresa the maid has been turned into some kind of living zombie at the end of the movie. She confronts Alex and Megan near the end, and they run away from her and then fight with the Puppet Master. The issue of Teresa is then never addressed in the rest of the film, she just simply disappears from the plot and the scene. (01:13:35)
Puppet Master (1989)
1 plot hole - chronological order
Directed by: David Schmoeller
Starring: William Hickey, Irene Miracle, Paul Le Mat, Jimmie F. Skaggs
Continuity mistake: Toward the end when Alex is being punched by the "Puppet Master" his mouth is all bloody. Then Megan smashes a vase on The Puppet Master's head, and in the next shot Alex's face is no longer bloody. In the next closeup of him the blood has returned. (01:13:05)
Frank Forrester: We also got a call from the white witch.
Alex Whitaker: You mean, Dana?
Frank Forrester: Yes, lovely Dana. She knows the location... it's an old hotel on the California coast.
Trivia: The look of the puppet "Blade" is inspired by the actor Klaus Kinski.
