From bullet holes to severed fingers, from slashed throats to wounds and burns, Special Effects Make-up is a complete, easy-to-use guide to creating horrifying make-up. As storylines become more sensational and technology more sophisticated, special effects have become an increasingly important element of both film and theatre production. Janus Vinther provides fully illustrated, step-by-step instructions for creating grotesque and horrifying effects. There is also a chapter on specialized character make-up, covering familiar figures such as Dracula and the Terminator. Illustrated throughout in gory full color, Special Effects Make-up describes both techniques and materials. It will be an essential tool for those involved in film and theatre make-up or design, and for anyone out to make Halloween a very special evening.
