Makeup magic

I love the makeup and special effects that goes into some horror, sci or fantasy movies. My favourite makeup artists are Rick Baker, Tom Savini and the late great Stan Winston.




I get this monthly magazine called Makeup Artist Magazine, it's a real top of the line magazine all about makeup in movies and tv shows and stuff like that. Other than me the only other people who have seen and read these are the makeup artists themselves.


The makeup for Michael Jackson's Ghosts was pretty damm awesome, especially the Mayor and Ghoul makeups (both for the Maestro AND the Mayor)



The mayor makeup was particuarly clever, you couldn't even tell it was really MJ under all that.


In fact on Agony Booth when they "reviewed" it they refered to the Mayor as Mayor Ebert because they thought he looked like film critic Roger Ebert (also possibly a nod to the fact there was a Mayor Ebert character in the 90's Godzilla movie, who coincidentally looked a lot like Roger Ebert).



And of course i do love The Grinch, it is one of my favourite Jim Carrey movies.
