The Puppet Master is the main icon of Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Singapore in 2012. A social outcast since childhood, a combination of war, loss, and an obsession with dolls drove the Puppet Master to strive to make the most perfect human-resembling dolls. After years of experimenting, he arrived at a solution. The other three icons of 2012 were his henchmen. Despite no spotting of him in any single maze, he appeared in the photo-op and the scare-zone called House of Dolls, which was located in the Hollywood area of Universal Studios Singapore.
