Shanks

Malcolm Shanks is a deaf and mute puppeteer who lives with his cruel sister and her husband, who delight in making him miserable. His skill as a puppeteer is noticed by Dr. Walker, who takes him on as a lab assistant at his gothic mansion, where he works on reanimating the dead using electrodes. When Dr. Walker dies unexpectedly, Malcolm uses their experimental procedure to bring him back to life and exacts revenge on those who wronged him.
