The title says it all. Puppets? Fucking creepy. Although Secret Cinema head Jay Schwartz doesn't get the same heebie-jeebies from the marionette set, he understands the sentiment. He's culled far-reaching puppet fare from his collection, including the legendary Ray Harryhausen's Hansel and Gretel and Hot Rod Granny, featuring the one and only Gumby. But Schwartz is clearly more excited about one film which he hasn't announced yet: "It's a sex-ed film ... that uses puppets," says Schwartz. "I can't say more, but it's pretty surprising."
