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!

Heather Quinn

Heather Quinn is a British puppeteer, cosplayer, singer, and gossiper who did many puppet characters for social media. She is also the only puppeteer who does cosplay, in other words, dresses and acts like their favorite character from a show. Heather also has a love for anything vintage, which I personally find to be unique for a person to like things from the past. Quinn hasn't done anything Muppet-related in her life, in fact she's probably never even heard of the Muppets or the Henson Company. However she has puppeteered many times for social media such as TikTok and Instagram. One of her puppets resembles an Ewok from the Star Wars franchise, which could give a clue that she's a Star Wars fan as well. In addition to puppetry, Heather Quinn has been gossiping on her website about her activities, her travels, as well as her habit of drinking tea. She's also sung all of Sondheim's Company, Into the Woods, and Sweeney Todd, as stated by her on her own website. Ther...

His most notable work with them was on Fraggle Rock as the body of Pa Gorg and various other characters on the series.

Amanda Glass

Amanda Glass is a British puppeteer and costume maker who puppeteered on season 1 of Sooty (2011) as well as part of the third season. She also puppeteered on the Sooty video Sooty: The Big Day Out as well as making many of the puppets' costumes on the series. Besides doing Sooty, Amanda was also an additional puppeteer on Mongrels for three episodes. I personally think Glass should have puppeteered on a project by either the Muppets or the Henson Company (mostly in the Creature Shop). It's currently unknown what the performer looks like since the picture above either has her on camera or under one of the puppets. On both Sooty and Mongrels, other puppeteers she performed with include Iestyn Evans, Yvonne Stone, Simon Buckley, and Toby Olie, to name a few. Maybe someday Amanda Glass will have her chance to meet one of the Muppet performers in the UK or maybe she will learn about the Henson Company online. Nobody really knows whatever happened to her after 2018 when she did seas...
