5.0 out of 5 stars Great resorce for Special FX hobbiest, April 28, 2001

Vinnie the Squid (Vancouver, British Columbia Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Grande Illusions: Book II (Paperback)

This book is a great resource for special FX hobbiests and for those who want to persue in the Special FX make-up field. Thanks to Savini, he shows you, step-by-step, on how he did the FX and make-up appliances from his movies. The book contains an abundance of detailed diagrams, color photos and reference to such films as Monkeyshine, Texas Chainsaw2 to name a few. I recomend this to anyone who wants to learn the art of Special FX Make-up...

5.0 out of 5 stars For any horror fan or the budding special effects artist! A+, December 10, 2006

Korwedge (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Grande Illusions: Book II (Paperback)

This book is the perfect companion to the first Grande Illusions book. With even more detailed pictures of Tom Savini's amazing special effects work (mostly gore), a full-color section, and detailed notes and instructions, this is definitely one of the must have books for any horror film fan, or special effects artist (beginner or advanced). Some of the 14 films covered in this book are: Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter, Day of the Dead, Texas Chainsaw Massacre II, Killing Zoe, and Night of the Living Dead
