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. |

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}}'' |
