King Diamond
The Puppet Master (2003)
King Diamond meets Victoria after a Christmas show put on by the
Puppet Master in Budapest. One year after they meet, his beloved goes
missing and he sets out to find her. While searching, he comes across
the Puppet Master's wife killing a homeless man. He follows her into a
building where he is struck from behind and loses consciousness.
When King regains consciousness, he finds himself strapped to a
hospital bed and The Puppet Master and his wife standing in front of him
with a scalpel. The Puppet Master leans over him and says: "First your
eyes... then your skin... we will make you feel born again." and starts
to cut out his eyes. One eyelid drops down into a jar. The Puppet Master
uses an instrument to pull the eyeball out of its socket, and cuts off
the nerve-string which is the only thing holding the eye in place. The
Puppet Master then puts the eyeball into a puppet's eye socket. His body
is being made into a puppet that comes to life when blood is injected
into it. An accident during the ritual when The Puppet Master is dealing
with the Devil about King's soul, leaves King Diamond's soul trapped
within his permanently aware eyes. It is after this that he sees his
wife's body, now a puppet, on another shelf in the Puppet Master's shop.
King Diamond and his beloved are infused with a syringe-full of their
blood nightly, so they can practice their routines and learn how to
perform for their Master. Each night, after being put away, King and his
beloved "talk with their eyes" from across the room as the essence of
their blood fades away. King Diamond is forced to witness her fading
away every night, because his immortal eyes keep him from slipping away
like she does. Once instructed to dance by the Puppet Master, Victoria
stumbles into the wall where jars of blood for the puppets are stored on
shelves, knocking six of them down. She is then sent away to Berlin and
King vows to find her again.
Christmas time comes around for the third time in the tale, and King
is to perform as The Little Drummer Boy. At his performance, he
intentionally falls and breaks his drum to embarrass the Puppet Master.
For his actions, he is sold to a shop and left nailed to the wall. At
some point, he hears of how the Puppet Master is building a second
theater in London, to be run by the Puppet Master's son and daughter and
he re-affirms his vow to find his lost love or see her on the "other
side".
