A Dummy, demon and slayer walk into a bar
26 September 2016
Warning: Spoilers
The puppet show was generally creepy as a murderer is killing off students for their organs be it a human, puppet or a demon hiding in the mists. They use the back stage props to create a haunting atmosphere backstage allowing for some effective jump scares and an almost decapitation. The puppet Sid really plays the part of a Chucky like doll sneaking into bedrooms, talking to the human who possesses him and almost killing Buffy with a Chandler with a knife at her throat.

Getting back to Sid I liked his side story as a knight cursed into a doll by a demon trapped immortally within it and trying to stop This creature before he gains the body parts needed for a ritual to make him pure human. My only problem with the ep is I want to know how Sid ended up with Morgan and how he got around before hand. Does the demon know he's about and if so did he put in traps to stop him from ruining his plans. I digress this was a great episode that needed at least ten more minutes to make it a work of art and a brilliant script.
