3	[[http://www.mfproductions.ca/thecreepypuppetproject.htm The Creepy Puppet Project]] is a WebOriginal project on Website/YouTube from the mind of Canadian puppeteer and special effects artist Matt Ficner. The premise is [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin exactly what you think it is:]] a series of mostly unconnected shorts using puppetry, while using [[UncannyValley a lot]] [[{{Gorn}} of]] [[BodyHorror horror]] [[OurZombiesAreDifferent tropes]] to elicit either [[NightmareFuel that reaction]] or [[BloodyHilarious the other reaction.]] Either way, it has high-quality writing and excellent production values.

5	The series can be seen on his Website/YouTube channel [[https://www.youtube.com/profile?user=cre8ivegargoyle here.]]

7	!!The series contains the following tropes:
8	* AllThereInTheManual: Most of the character's names
9	* BloodyHilarious: about 50% of their stuff is this.
10	* BodyHorror: ''Ohh, so much'', due to the fact that puppets allow more "freedom" than typical zombie make-up.
11	* ClockPunk: Doc. Whotnought
12	* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: Yeah, pretty much.
13	* FunnyBackgroundEvent: The ''Cafe'' segments are all about this.
14	* {{Gorn}}: Some of the scarier videos feature this trope in spades.
15	* HollywoodToneDeaf: Winston, [[RunningGag who's always off-key when the Zombies sing.]]
16	* {{Muppet}}s: Almost completely averted. Most of the characters have a distinctly "[[UncannyValley realistic]]" look, and the zombies have some... [[BodyHorror interesting parts]] about them. The only point that it's played straight is ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9zCh_YnTozM Happy Little Fuzzy Things]]'', [[SubvertedKidsShow which gets promptly subverted.]]
17	%%* OurZombiesAreDifferent: Singing zombies, need I say more?
18	* ReverseCerebusSyndrome: The videos have steadily become [[DenserAndWackier sillier]] since the project first started.
19	* ShoutOut:
20	** Two of the zombies are named [[Creator/StanWinston "Stan" and "Winston."]]
21	** The fat zombie has a striking resemblance to [[VideoGame/Left4Dead a boomer.]]
22	** The resident [[TheDitz ditz]] has a passing resemblance to [[Franchise/TheMuppets Beaker]].
23	** ''Hostile Entities'' is an AffectionateParody of ''Film/{{Alien}}''
