Charles Chiodo

Charles Chiodo is a puppeteer, special effects artist, puppet creator, producer, and writer who is known for being a part of Chiodo Bros. Productions, Inc. He wrote, produced, designed, and acted on Killer Klowns from Outer Space alongside his brothers, Stephen Chiodo and Edward Chiodo. Charles must have some position with his company since Edward is the chairman. Chiodo and his brothers also made puppets for kid shows such as The Mr. Potato Head Show, Adventures in Wonderland, and The Charlie Horse Music Pizza, to name a few. He served as puppeteer for an episode of The Simpsons (and also stop-motion segments for several others), Nickelodeon series, and Team America: World Police. Some puppeteers he worked with have included Patrick Johnson, Sean Johnson, Artie Esposito, Russ Walko and Brett O'Quinn. Aside from Killer Klowns, Charles Chiodo did several other films as well such as Elf, Critters films, Survival Island, and more. The brothers must be very proud to work with each other since they named the company after themselves (their last names to be exact). He's still working today as seen in Alien Xmas, Ike Boys, and the latest Treehouse of Horror episode of The Simpsons. There isn't anything Charles can't do when it comes to working on stop-motion and puppets for both film and television. I've read that Chiodo and his brothers are in the process of making The Return of the Killer Klowns from Outer Space. All three brothers must really be into the horror genre in their lives. He may not have worked with the Muppets, but he did work with several Muppet performers. Charles Chiodo, you're excellent when it comes to doing puppets, stop-motion, and make-up effects within the screen. I hope you and your brothers will keep your company alive until you retire. Until your next project will be released keep working on it and it'll be great. A real stupendous job Charles. Peace out Chiodo!
