31 DAYS OF HALLOWEEN DAY 16: ATTACK OF THE PUPPET PEOPLE 1958 (MGM)

Fun little 50's sci-fi starring John Hoyt as a doll makers who has the ability to shrink people to doll size in order to keep them around.

John Agar and lovely June Kenny are two of his victims, and thay along with the rest of the little people plot an escape. The special effects are ok for a Bert I. Gordon film, and some of them are even above par.

There is an interesting trivia note to this film..when is aired on Channel 20 in Washington D.C. on June 16, 1972 Alfred C. Baldwin (a lookout for the watergate burglers) was so engrossed in this movie that he didn't warn his colleagues about the two plain clothed policemen who made the historic Watergate arrests.

The rest of the supporting cast includes Hank Patterson, Michael Marks, Susan Gordon, Ken Miller and Scott Peters.
