This crazy movie played a pivotal role in American history! During the Watergate Hotel break-in, the burglars had a lookout in a room across the street, but he got distracted watching this very movie and, thus, did not see police pulling up to investigate. As a result, the burglars were arrested and a US President was brought down.
Interesting fact Bill Clinton was chosen for the jury panel to impeach Nixon as he was a known as a far left wing politician but was about to run for governor of Arkansas so he asked that his wife Hilary take his spot as she had been an intern for the president of the California communist party so she took his spot in the panel.
"Mommy, what's KY, why are you laughing about it?" "Ask your fath...never mind, _don't_ ask your father. And I'm laughing because the man in the video is laughing."

Talking to dolls is freaky, unless they are in fact action figures. Then it's fine. Speaking of shows that live up to their titles involving tiny ppl, I give you Land of the Giants. Which deserves a modern reboot goldarnit.
Mark was 100% right about what would have made a better ending. And that KY joke was top notch. 🤣 (Also genuinely surprised how good the effects were for a 1958 film, to be fair...)
Mark’s videos and humor has gotten me through the past 2 months. Lost my dog and father-in-law 2 weeks apart from each other. To offset the pain, I have a WMWM playlist on shuffle all day everyday. Thank you, fine sir, for making life less sucky.
In 2020, I lost my mom, two dogs and my third dog was diagnosed with terminal cancer. I feel you. I had actually just found Mark and he was a comfort to me too.
I remember watching this movie on TV back in the day. Usually a Saturday mid morning or early afternoon. As a kid I LOVED IT!!! I did not notice the flat look of the “dolls” in the plastic containers. Also loved how the two sizes were meld together. What did I know, I was a kid. Love that you go back and pick these weird movies to review.
0:30 You know, I'm so glad that Mark was able to shed light on people that have problems with the size of their ears. It's such a refreshing thing to hear. No pun intended.
@@eidgenossenarkebuse Thank you! It'll be no easy way, but I survived critical and extreme situations, I'll master this as well, but it will take time and effort.
Hey dude, I’d just like to take a moment to reiterate a line I just heard, “I think people should just admire the dedication you obviously have for your craft.” Well, it’s not exactly the line, but man, I really do admire all the work you put into these videos. Pretty damn impressive!!
"Mr. Franz" was played by John Hoyt, the ship's doctor ("Dr. Philip Boyce") in the original "Star Trek" pilot "The Cage" (1965), but for all "Twilight Zone" fans, he was the businessman who reveals he is a three-armed alien in the roadside diner at the end of "Will the Real Martian Please Stand Up?" and the android maker "Dr. Loren" in "The Lateness of the Hour", both from the second season of the show (1960-61).
Yes! Mark makes another! I genuinely look forward to seeing new material. This show is great and I find myself often looking for more content. One can only laugh at Neil Breen for so long. Thanks Mark, I am turning into a true fanboy.
3:27 I think we should stop and take a minute to enjoy the kind of flounce this lovely little woman can pull off. You don't see the girls flounce around much anymore. It's a lost art, this art of flouncing. 7:09 And here we see that Sally can now teleport. It's amazing the different ways this girl can get around.
@@spankynater4242 They'd transition from a flounce into a dead sprint if we could only lay hands upon them and express our dissatisfaction with this switch from Sally's to Morlocks.
I thought that was an indignant huff. I though flounce was when a woman walked like she was trying to jiggle loose change in her pockets. ...sorta like a controlled ditty-bop
How do u not have millions and millions of subs????? Thx for another great video. God I love your snarky sarcasm it is right up my alley and I am here for it 👏 the hole feel of the video is great. Chef's kiss 💋
Thanks for the awesome review, Mark.. I remember watching this movie a lot on Svengoolie. These movies were the characters shrink or blow-up big are fun to watch
From budgets Big to small, and from movies to TV; sci-fi has never had it better than John Hoyt. You can see John Hoyt in a walk-on part in a TV series, then next see him in a motion picture like, "When Worlds Collide". In the 1960's he seemed to be everywhere: The Twilight Zone, The Outer Limits, Star Trek and even Battlestar Galactica. What a career - what an actor!
Not only does asphyxiation put people into suspended animation, but it makes them stand ramrod-straight with their eyes open. I mean, this is basic science, people. Read a book!
*Ironically, actor John Hoyt went on (6 or 7 years later) to appear in an episode of The Wild Wild West called "The Night of The Puppeteer" and an almost identical scene of puppets on a stage is shown. It's uncanny.*
Been a big fan for years and I’ve never commented. But I really wanted to tell you that you’ve gotten so good at inserting yourself in the films. It’s hilarious and I love it. And you’ve made it seamless. ❤️
I bought Cracker Jack once as an adult, and the “toy” was called a “flippin’ fish.” It was a piece of cardstock the size of half a stick of gum with a picture of a fish on it you were supposed to flick by lightly squeezing opposite sides together. Literally just a rectangle of thick paper.
The poster made it look so exciting, and yet the closest thing to action in it is a guy beating up a puppet. I agree, your alternate ending would have been much more realistic and exciting. I would love to see this movie redone with that kind of ending. And a scene where they fight a dog, just so it can be accurate to its own poster.
This is one of the first films on the show I genuinely can see being made into a more gonzo modern horror remake? Make the guy far more creepy up the weirdness and violence factor and it could probably work? Lol
They made the B movie you describe. "Doctor Cyclops" There was also one before this (30s or 40s) with Lionel Barrymore where he shrunk people to use as puppets to maim or murder people that did him wrong. Saw it on Svengoulie. That one was very disturbing and likely why Mr Bijoux named this one Attack of the Puppet People. Then Sid and Marty Kroft made Doctor Shrinker...creepy villain scientist but no violence.
On paper, the plot to this movie could've been a deep exploration of a wounded man's psyche, scarred by his wife's infidelity...but in execution, it turned into a creepy guy locking himself in a room with dolls and photographically shrunk actors reactions to things that weren't there.
This reminded me of the movie The Devil’s Hand and I only know about it because of Rifftrax. Don’t know if you’ve covered this one, but it’s ridiculous 😂
Actually Cracker Jacks had very good prizes when it was first introduced including Cast Iron toy cannon, or a Metal Whistle or even a Pocket Knife.. This movie reminds of of another one with a Madman that actually killed several people he shrank. He ended up falling down a well while trying to kill the rest.
This was awesome Mark. Ok I collect ball jointed dolls!! Yes I am an adult who loves to collect toys, disney items and dolls, we are an odd community 🤗. I never heard of this movie before so I think it's pretty cool.
Neill Breen has a new film out, it's called "Cade, The Tortured Crossing". Just thought I'd let you know, your Breen reviews are some of my favorites. it looks like a sequel to "A Twisted Pair",Cade was the name of the evil twin brother with the "beard".

Ok, that's just plain amazing. Thanks for that nugget of information.
Maybe we can figure out how to use this movie to bring down the current resident.
He told the wrong person in DC _"They killed Jack"_ (JFK) and was brought down.

I was expecting that this movie will end by the puppeteer being shrunk down and eaten by the cat
The better ending would have been if the guy had been placed in the small glass tube and then dropped a nasty spider in there with him.
"I guess Franz doesn't make the clothes. He just likes to sculpt the bodies...perv." 😄
My husband threw a pillow at me because I was watching this without him. I had to watch from the beginning with him. We love your show/program
That's abuse.
@@spankynater4242not if she’s into it

That's rare, but also hilarious.
One of the most underrated movie narrators on the tube. Keep up the good job Mark.
What I don´t understand: Who can dislike a work of Mark? And why? Why, God, why?!!!!
Best part of these old-time reviews? Seeing Mark wear the hell out of that suit.
I'm glad to be back.... to the program. Thanks for all the fantastic content. You're easily my favorite content creator these days.

Sorry to hear that

Unshrink you?! That would require some sort of “RE-bigulator,” which is a concept so hilarious it makes me want to laugh out loud.
There's something so endearing about your intro. It always puts me in a good mood.
The non-verbal cues during the Size bit at the video opening is pure gold.

I like your ending better than the original.
This guy male's the best quality reviews of movies EVER MADE!! LOVE IT
I love how he kinda broke character and started laughing, it made me laugh too😂
I'll say it again, you've really been dialing in your comedic delivery. great stuff.
Hatching a plan to END THIS GUY was the plot of Doctor Cyclops, a similar movie of the era.
Another amazing episode, Mark! John Hoyt was a goddamned treasure. He made everything he was in better and stole every scene he was ever in.
Wow, I never noticed that was Grandpa from Gimme a Break...and I saw this movie a long time ago too...
Come for the movie reviews, stay for the absolute tunes at the end.
3:27 I think we should stop and take a minute to enjoy the kind of flounce this lovely little woman can pull off. You don't see the girls flounce around much anymore. It's a lost art, this art of flouncing. 7:09 And here we see that Sally can now teleport. It's amazing the different ways this girl can get around.
Sadly, nowadays, it's only "transitioned" men who flounce.
@@spankynater4242 They'd transition from a flounce into a dead sprint if we could only lay hands upon them and express our dissatisfaction with this switch from Sally's to Morlocks.

@@skylx0812 They flounce. They patter. And sometimes they huff. Whatever Sally's do, we can't get enough.

Keeps showing why he is one of my fav creators. Keep it up! The humor but most of all the analysis of movies are just great
My uncle was supposed to get drafted & go to Vietnam but his notice never came. Years later we found out his mailman had been turned into a doll.
Your ending was waaaaay better. Lmao the fire 🤣🤣
Thanks for the awesome review, Mark.. I remember watching this movie a lot on Svengoolie. These movies were the characters shrink or blow-up big are fun to watch
MST3K too! I always love the doll/puppet cheapo movies
How terrifying! Dolls? Makes Harlan Ellison look like Barney the purple dinosaur.
I Always look forward to your videos Mark!
So instead of punching the guy or something after regaining their normal size, they just leave like mildly angry customers, that shii took off guard.
Space ice, pitchmeeting, and my new favorite “weird movies” with Mark are just about the only reason I watch RUclips!
Couldn't agree more! Those are all great channels! I'd add Brandon Tenold to that list as well.
Also The Horror Geek and Possum Reviews.
Totally with you there. Can't imagine a Space Ice/Mark collaboration though. Different styles but appreciate them both.
Another classic Mark! We always dig it when you crack yourself up 😂 can’t wait for the next weird movie !
This just saved my evening! Thank you Mark! ☺️☺️🙏👍
WMwM is so consistently funny. It’s like regularly scheduled programming; proper production.
That ending of yours Mark is excellent! I know you were joking but it legit was how it should have ended

Am I the only real excited to hear Mark "Hey, guys, and welcome back to the show/program"?
I never seen the Matt Damon "Downsizing" poster before and I thought it was a "Precious" movie parody poster.
“You like puppets? Well how about I beat the shit out of this one!” 😂😂😂

Always keep it weird, Mark. Much appreciated.
