So, after adding the images from the The Daily Grindhouse article that was in the sources, I realize that the article came out on April 1st, 2013. It is entirely possible that this whole thing was an April Fool's joke, and I just got played.

However, when I usually see a web article that is made for April Fools Day, they make it appear legitimate for the day, and then edit in a disclaimer the next day to keep people from repeating the lie. I don't see that here. Also, The Daily Grindhouse has done some articles on April 1st that appear to be entirely legitimate.

Then again, you do have this one from April 1st, 2013, which does look like a hoax. I cannot find any further information on these supposed sequels, and I'm like 99% sure that Charles Band is pulling everyone's legs. http://dailygrindhouse.com/thewire/charles-band-announces-discovery-of-lost-puppet-master-sequels-in-warehouse/

Again, I could just be the fool here, but out of the five other April 1st articles from Daily Grindhouse that I was able to find, only one of them looks suspicious. It doesn't look like Daily Grindhouse regularly does April Fools jokes.

And as for the film looking cobbled together from different sources with different video qualities, I've seen legitimate films that look like that. There were quite a few films on VHS back in the day where the director just slammed together scenes from some of their prior films (and if you were lucky, added new footage) and pretended that it was a new film.
