Hi all,

if anyone can tell me what the name of this horror movie was I
will be forever greatful.

I am trying to find the name of a film that scared the hell out of
me whenI was a child, but I only have certain memories so please
bear with me.What i can remember is that there is a kid and he lives
with his mum (not sure whether there was a dad!) and they dig up the
back garden and find abox which contains a ventriloquists puppet.
Now Im sure he was bold and wore a Monocle.

All I can remember about the film is the puppet was evil and started
talking to the kid at night telling him to do bad things. The puppet
made knifes float around the kitchen after the kids mum and made it
so the kid could see it on television. Im pretty sure there was a
toy that looked like R2D2 that was alive as well and was good. I
think it was made around late 70's early 80's

I appreciate any help with this.
