Puppet Master 5: The Final Chapter is the fifth in Puppet Master series of horror films. The film was released in 1994, shortly after the previous installment. As the title would indicate, this film was supposed to close the Puppet Master franchise, and for several years it was indeed the final in the series but demand from fans ended that notion four years later.

[edit] Trivia
- Puppet Master 5 breaks from its predecessors in that Rick Meyers is now the new puppet master, and the puppets are not purely evil.
- The film was shot back-to-back along with the previous installment Puppet Master 4.
- This film as well as Puppet Master II, III and 4 were only available on DVD through a Full Moon Features box set which is now discontinued.
- This film marked the last time David Allen would work on the special effects for the series. Subsequent follow-ups used a combination of rod puppets and string puppets, save Curse of the Puppet Master, which relied heavily on stock footage for action sequences.
