Dawnie Marie

Dawnie Marie is a puppeteer, producer, and podcaster known for working with GLOP and making puppet videos on TikTok. She worked alongside several Muppet performers within GLOP as well as others such as Gwen Hollander, Edi Patterson, Cheri Vanden Heuvel, and Anna Wang. Dawnie also hosts her own two podcasts known as Living Swindled Podcast and The Lent List, the latter of which is found on Instagram of course. Marie must've felt very excited when selected to perform alongside female Muppet performers at GLOP, the company where women puppeteers get together and make productions. Maybe someday she will work with them on a future Muppet production, you never know when that will happen. She has also frequently worked with creative producers and puppet makers on projects like Kaleb & Ms. Kelsey for example. Other projects in which Dawnie Marie was involved with include Bonkers and Lazor Wulf, as well as producing for The Rainbow Bridge and Cicadas. She even got to be casting assistant for television and film like on Treme, Salem, American Horror Story, and Free State Jones, to name a few. There's so much this woman has done throughout her career, no wonder she was brought on to be a part of GLOP. I only hope that at some point in the future, Dawnie will work on a Muppet or Henson Company production, so she'll be alongside her fellow GLOP performers. It might not happen to Marie yet, but I'm hoping that it will come eventually, fingers crossed. In the meantime, she should continue to puppeteer, produce, and host her podcast so that everyone will be in awe with her. There's no telling what this person has up her sleeve next. Dawnie Marie, you're a wonderful puppeteer and podcaster, you should be proud to be a part of the cast of GLOP. Keep working with them and hosting Living Swindled so you'll be historical. And it's amazing that you've been a casting assistant for many TV shows and films, not a lot of people know that until they look you up. Until then, keep being awesome Dawnie. You've impressed us all Marie!

Brock Winkless was a puppeteer and visual effects technician, best known for being the puppeteer of Chucky in the Child's Play franchise and the Crypt Keeper on Tales from the Crypt. A magazine stated that he understood lip-syncing of a puppet's mouth movements which gave him the skill to puppeteer his characters to vocal tracks. Brock frequently worked with director and make-up artist Kevin Yagher on many projects, such as the Child's Play series, the Crypt Keeper, and the film Honey, I Blew Up the Kid. Winkless also collaborated with other studios for make-up and visual effects throughout his career, including Animated FX Inc., owned by Norman Tempia. Other films he puppeteered in over the years have included Death Becomes Her, Man's Best Friend, Congo, The X-Files, and Dr. Dolittle 2. But no matter what films he does he'll always be known for being both Chucky and the Crypt Keeper since he's done both roles for years. Apart from doing puppetry, Brock Winkless...
