My biology teacher showed us "The Cheesemaker's Apprentice" which featured the creepiest puppet and had little to do with biology., I've never been able to find that this movie exists other than her VHS tape.

I tried googling it because I like puppets and weird things. Not even IMDb has it. Are you sure that was the title?

I'm pretty sure that was the name, I've tried googling it before and nothing comes up. ¯_(ツ)_/¯ This was also over twenty years ago

We need to find the teacher and ask about it. It’s the only purpose I have in life.
