A makeup effects artist who works on low-budget horror movies shows viewers how to create 10 faces, from the expected (Dracula) to the unexpected (housecat) to stretching the bounds of good taste (burn victim), in this 55-minute tape. Bill Morrison (
The Dead Next Door,
Ozone) paints 10 faces on subjects--male, female, with and without facial hair, but all Caucasian--while a narrator lists the materials needed and describes the fundamental steps. The makeup can be relatively simple, such as the lizard man, which needs only face paint and takes less than four minutes in nine steps. Others are more complex, such as Frankenstein's Monster, which requires latex to build the prominent forehead and nose putty for the stitched wounds and takes 19 steps and 10 minutes. This is a low-budget, no frills production for those with their hearts set on homemade horror for Halloween.
