Puppet Master II (1990) Timeline Explained – Every Event in Order

André Toulon is revived when Pinhead pours a vial of neon liquid over his corpse in his grave at Shady Oaks cemetery. This mysterious formula, originally obtained in Cairo in 1912, triggers his skeletal arms to rise from the casket, bringing him back as a reanimated being.
