We really forgot how wild and iconic Freaked (1993) was. Pure chaotic body horror mixed with weird comedy, insane practical effects, and unforgettable mutant designs. Fun fact: Keanu Reeves — yes, Baba Yaga himself — secretly played Ortiz the Dog Boy in the film. Absolute cult classic energy

Midnight fishing

During a foggy night, the crew of a fishing trawler is hoping for the catch of their lifes. Meanwhile the lighthouse and the full moon illuminate the night to help the fishers navigate these dangerous waters.

Behind the scenes

In the two photos below, you can see my setup for this picture. I made myself a little water pit with some watertight foil used for garden ponds and filled it with water. Some well placed stones (together with the fog) help to hide the edges in the view of the camera. The fog comes from a smoke machine (not in the pictures) and the moon is a round lamp suspended over the scenery. To give some movement to the water surface, I used a fan and since I don't have three or four arms, the self-timer mode of the camera was very helpful...

Rob Bottin’s concept sculpture for the creature in David Cronenberg’s The Fly. Cronenberg would ultimately go with a creature designed and created by Chris Walas’s effects crew but what we have here is an interesting what could have been.

I Knew what was up right off the bat. I remember this being done for A Nightmare on Elm Street. 

This is what they built and did for Tina’s Death.

So my insanely talented friend, Lexi, has reached the final round of voting to win a six-month scholarship with one of the best makeup FX schools in the world. I’ve seen this Davy Jones cosplay first hand and it’s seriously amazing!

If she makes it into the Top 5, then the decision will be down to a panel of professional judges, but she needs as many votes as possible to get there first! 

You can vote once a day every day via Facebook until Friday here:

SO PLEASE VOTE. It only takes 5 seconds and it could help her dream come true! 

And please reblog and spread this as much as you can. THANK YOU!
