Scribe Todd Berger recently spoke with Crave Online about Brian Henson’s puppet murder mystery “The Happytime Murders” and hinted at just how dark and serious this story will be.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to try to make the ‘Heat’ of puppet movies. I want to be ‘The Dark Knight’ or ‘Heat’ but in a world where puppets and humans coexist. Brian was like, \u2018This mystery actually needs to be interesting so that even if you took all the comedy out of it, it\u2019s still going to be interesting to watch\u201d says Berger.<\/p>\n

The story follows a puppet private eye and disgraced ex-cop on the trail of the serial killer who murdered his brother and is now targeting the cast members of a famous 80s television show.<\/p>\n
