Contrary to popular belief, Elijah hasn't made this Purple Marionette/Puppet edit. Instead it's sourced from DeviantArt from a long deleted post, originally from the user "outlastpinkamenarp"
https://outlastpinkamenarp.deviantart.com/art/Purple-Marionette-Jumpscare-Animated-504340962
(this was found due to the image of the jumpscare being cached on tineye, it's cached from october 2016)
UPDATE (2025-12-24): The Purple Marionnete edit was submitted on January 2, 2015!
As the link suggests, that original source WAS ANIMATED and not a simple photo edit, and after doing some searches it was indeed, the original file was a GIF.
Elijah only used one of the close-up frames as a scare (that happens to be the thumbnail for it in deviantart too).
So this is a recreation showing how it looked like.
