Some Of My Dad's Fx Work

[🪦 Dead*meaT ●]

Hey guys, I'm Ryan, a long time lurker/sculptor. I've just recently started sculpting again but I've been frequenting NIGHTOWL for several years now. We were all exposed to masks and special effects differently. I grew up playing with my dad's original foam latex masks. At his peak, he did some work on a few B horror movies shot in my hometown (Tulsa) before I was born. He's always enjoyed doing this kind of work but he hasn't had nearly as much time to pursue it like he used to and doesn't do it nearly as much anymore. And unfortunately, all of his older pieces were foam latex and have since deteriorated. We finally scanned some pics and got some vhs captures from a rough cut of a few scenes from a movie called "The Change". I tried to look it up on imdb and found nothing. Hopefully when my dad retires, he can start creating again. Enjoy the pics!

These 2 are both him on different halloweens. He applied both make-ups in the mirror.

I remember seeing that werewolf mask your dad made a long time ago. I remember that LF mask you sculpted as well, one of my first masks.

Nothing beats the look of the 80's practical/appliance make up effects. You should be very proud of him!
