80s puppet movie - dark/scary
I have a vivid fragment of memory from when I was young in the mid 80s and catching the end of a movie on tekevision my mother was watching. It was either all puppets or mixed with live actors - but the important point is that it seemed to be about a vengeful jester who was abused and then killed off the royal family in gruesome ways, taking quite some pleasure in it. I seem to recall a grotesquely fat king maybe drowning in a bathtub/being boiled alive... and at one point the jester hanging from a chandelier and giggling like a madman. Was this all a bad dream or an actual movie?
HotFrog is all I can think of as the name, but that yields zilch when googled... |

I think you're looking for something associated with the short story "Hop-Frog". (There's info about its origin here:Hop-Frog - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
It looks as though there were a few adaptations, maybe the one you saw was the 1992 version called Fool's Fire... Fool's Fire (TV 1992) - IMDb *EDIT* Puppet king character picture... http://www.notcoming.com/reviews/fools-fire/ |

I can't remember much about the movie because I saw it at a slumber party when I was younger - in the mid to late 80s. I remember several scenes. One scene involved dead bodies in muddy water ( possibly a river with alligators), the second scene involved a naked woman on a bed being licked by a...
This movie was my fave as a kid but I don't know its name. A dude gets married and the honeymoon is to this island resort run by monsters. The characters are all really cool puppets and the island is dark with a castle like hotel. The only detail I remember is a hunch-back concierge who is in...
