Line 10:
== Anime & Manga ==
* In the Hades chapter of ''[[Saint Seiya]]'', the specter Minos Gryphon can turn his enemies into [[People Puppets]]. [[Combat Sadomasochist|The sadist enjoys]] twisting them and breaking them to "put on a show", at one point turning this power on {{spoiler|Gemini Kanon}}.
** In the [[Prequel]] ''[[Saint Seiya: theThe Lost Canvas]]'', he looks forward to fighting especially [[Bishonen]] Gold Saint Pisces Albafica because he'd make a good puppet.
* In ''[[Inuyasha]]'', the victims of Yura of the Hair.
* In [[Pandora Hearts]], this is how Gilbert moves under the control of [[Marionette Master|Zwei's]] chain, Doldum. It [[Nightmare Fuel|makes its point.]]
Line 22:
 
== Films -- Live-Action ==
* Among other tricks such as choreography, in the film adaptation of ''[[Silent Hill (Filmfilm)|Silent Hill]]'' the eerie, jittery movements of the nurses were done by the actresses walking backward. The footage was later reversed.
* In ''[[Mirror Mask]]'', the [[Uncanny Valley]] box mannequins have this. So ''very'' much. And to the tune of [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cz8-7JsFD_g&feature=related "Close to You"], no less.
* When the... ''thing'' in ''[[Sliver]]'' controls bodies, this is how they move.
* The [[Boss Battle]] in ''[[Stardust (Filmfilm)|Stardust]]'' features a very well-done duel with a magically animated dead swordsman who moves this way.
 
 
== Live-Action TV ==
* The dead astronauts in ''[[Doctor Who (TV)|Doctor Who]]'' episode "Silence in the Library/Forest of the Dead".
* The [[Humongous Mecha]] in older ''[[Power Rangers/Super Sentai|Super Sentai]]'' seasons sometimes slipped into this during wirework stunts.
 
Line 36:
* Rhianna's Disturbia music video.
* The "evil clowns" in Pink's music video for "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jdjtqu3XK4U Funhouse]".
* In the [[Talking Heads (Musicband)|Talking Heads]] music video "Once in a Lifetime", David Byrne's dance is about halfway between a marionette and an epileptic fit.
* This style of dancing is used by a lot of [[Korean Pop Music|k-pop]] artists, but a particularly memorable example can be seen in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKtvDv7eykg 2PM's music video for "Heartbeat"] in which the members utilize the style of [[Marionette Motion|broken-body dancing]] to show how their hearts are being controlled by a scornful girl and how they are helpless to stop it. At a few points in the dance, they are even shown as being [[Marionette Master|controlled]] by one of their own.
** Also, B.A.P's debut single [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5tLooPlf2Sw "Warrior"] has the members move this way when they are being controlled by [[Marionette Master|Zelo]]. At the end of the video, they even surround him in [[Marionette Motion]] and [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|shoot him dead]].
Line 42:
 
== Video Games ==
* ''[[Metal Gear Solid 4 Guns of the Patriots]]'': The result of Screaming Mantis using her weapon on people.
* The various nurses in the ''[[Silent Hill]]'' franchise (and quite a few monsters besides, for that matter).
* Appropriately enough, the Marionettes in ''[[Devil May Cry]]'', who even still have strings on their limbs.
* Some of the more humanoid-shaped Nobodies in [[Kingdom Hearts II (Video Game)|Kingdom Hearts II]] move this way.
 
 
Line 51:
* On ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'', this affects anyone under the influence of blood bending.
* Ren does this in the ''[[Ren and Stimpy]]'' episode "Stimpy's Invention", while wearing the Happy Helmet.
* Marceline's father, from ''[[Adventure Time (Animation)|Adventure Time]]''.
