Sid Krofft (July 30, 1929 – April 10, 2026) and Marty Krofft (April 9, 1937 – November 25, 2023) were a Canadian sibling team of television creators, writers, and puppeteers. Through their production company, Sid & Marty Krofft Pictures, they made numerous children’s television and variety show programs in the U.S., particularly in the 1970s, including H.R. Pufnstuf, Land of the Lost, and Sigmund and the Sea Monsters. Their fantasy programs often featured large-headed puppets, high-concept plots, and extensive use of low-budget special effects.
