Hi Kindertrauma,
I am trying to find the name of a movie or short from about 1989-1990 sometime (give or take.)
It had a guy always professing his love for a co-worker. This female co-worker always shoots him down. Turns out the guy actually can't say he hates anyone or they turn in to a puppet. These two are off somewhere together, not sure why, but It turns out the woman can't say she loves anyone or they turn into a puppet as well. So of course she loved him all along, but could not tell him.
It wasn't long, so I am guessing it was a short film.
Please help me remember what this was from!!!

UPDATE: NAME THAT TRAUMA SOLVED! Special thanks to reader Rhiannon Joy for naming it with the REALLY WEIRD TALES (1987) segment "I'll Die Loving."
This sounds a lot like "Really Weird Tales" from 1987…had most of the SCTV cast in it. There's a segment called "I'll Die Loving" that sounds like what you are talking about.
Here's the first part on You Tube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kAomqiLcCJg&feature=related
Thanks for the flashback on that one!! Watched it when I was kid!!
