www.imdb.com/title/tt5253... Watched The #Frankenstein Complex last night. It's a really absorbing documentary about #creaturedesign and the evolution of #specialeffects (and #makeupeffects) from rubber to digital.
The unmasked Jason Voorhees (portrayed by Ted White) as he appears in "Friday the 13th Part IV: The Final Chapter", directed by Joseph Zito and designed by Tom Savini.
A detailed photo of an older male 'Hero Walker' zombie with long graying hair and severely decomposed facial features, including exposed bone around the eyes and a missing section of skin on the right cheek, from AMC's 'The Walking Dead'. The makeup and effects were designed by Greg Nicotero's KNB EFX Group".
A close-up photograph of a highly detailed, realistic werewolf makeup effect. The creature has messy dark brown fur, bright orange eyes, a pronounced snout, and a snarling mouth with large, yellowed fangs. A dark liquid drips from its chin. The person is wearing a black suit jacket. Rick Baker's signature is visible in the bottom right corner.
A fearsome close-up image of the character Brutallus/The Eradicator, a massive red-skinned monster with long dark hair, glowing red eyes, sharp teeth, horns, and no traditional nose structure. The detailed texture highlights the monstrous design.
[2/2] Plus, with Brutallus/The Eradicator having so many looks of death & rebirth, I’d love to see Savini, Nicotero, or Baker-esque makeup to see him in the flesh.
So many possibilities...

Many moons ago. The Bogus Witch Project (2000). And as I always mention when this movie comes up, I am actually three different characters in the movie. Bigfoot, “Guy that has his hand melted by acid”, and Leatherface. …my life has been odd at time. #makeupeffects #fxmakeup #bigfoot
RIP #GregCannom, one of the #makeupeffects greats of our time… #Batman #TheLostBoys #BramStokersDracula #MrsDoubtfire

On the blog today, I am talking about the time I painted a fat dog suit for a Kellogg's Fruit Harvest commercial and how it was taken down because of public outcry! christopherburdett.blogspot.com/2024/12/kell... #makeupeffects #dog #effectsartist #kelloggs #specialmakeupeffects #makeupartist
Cover of 'The Making of George A. Romero's DAY OF THE DEAD' by Lee Karr. The film's stylized poster Artwork and some behind-scenes-photos.
A page containing three behind-the-scenes photos of Joe Pilato being prepared for the iconic body-tearing effects. The story about the rotten pig entrails is told in great detail.
A pencil-drawn page from Pat Tantalo's 'Tommy, dearest', a satirical Comic satirizing mainly Tom Savini. It's part of many stories detailing the chaotic pre-production in Savini's studio. His silly, yet dominant personality was cause for some tension.

"Meanwhile, set decorator Jan Pascale, who had dealt with all of the real human organs used during the production, was busy making sure that they would be given to a place more befitting. "From what I remember, I think we actually donated them to biology labs and stuff at the end. I sort of, you know, it was a long time ago, but I sort of remember that, that we wanted it to go to a place where it would actually be used in the manner in which it was intended," says Pascale. "In hindsight I feel sort of guilty because there were these poor people that donated their bodies to science and they ended up in a zombie movie. [laughs] Their brains, you know, were not being used so scientifically."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:jevahia37b5b6shamzkpaxmg/bafkreigzuljc3jgbiyurixazttpuvncror73ame7hlewjkbcc2yj2qnmty)

"The Making of DAY OF THE DEAD" by Lee Karr
Incredibly in-depth record of nearly everything that happened during production -including lots of photos, a little dirt and the shocking revelation of real human remains being used.
Highly recommended!

Hot take: Can you even call yourself a special effects makeup artist if you don't know how to do everything? From sculpture,molding, and then application? 🤔
