From Frankenstein to the Walking Dead, special make up artists have induced screams on the big screen with their daring and innovative effects, making the work of great actors and directors that much more horrible. Our panel will discuss the work of Jack Pierce (Frankenstein), Dick Smith (The Exorcist), Rob Bottin (The Thing) , Rick Baker (An American Werewolf in London), Tom Savini (Dawn of the Dead), Greg Nicotero (Walking Dead) and other artists who explored and perfected new ways of scaring and challenging audiences. The panel will use examples from both film and television, to examine and marvel at the the techniques behind the terror.
