About
the Book:
Dive into the fascinating world of movie make-up effects with
this stunning illustrated oral history of the art form.
Masters of Make-Up Effects is a celebration of make-up
artists and acclaimed make-up effects from the world of film and
television. Authors Howard Berger and Marshall Julius
have gleaned untold stories from the sets of cult classics (Planet of
the Apes, An American Werewolf in London, The Thing), fan-favourite
film and TV franchises (Star Trek, Star Wars, Harry Potter and the
MCU) and modern blockbusters like Dune to chart the fascinating
evolution of an industry.
Lavishly illustrated with hundreds of behind-the-scenes photos,
many of which have never before been seen in print or on social
media, it showcases some of the most iconic make-up effects of all
time, while revealing how they came to be in the artists' own words.
Featuring a foreword by Guillermo del Toro, an afterword by Seth
MacFarlane, and contributions from more than 50 make-up effects
legends, as well as iconic actors including Doug Jones, Robert
Englund, James McAvoy and Doug Bradley, and directors Mick Garris and
John Landis, Masters of Make-up Effects is the most complete
book on movie make-up history ever assembled, and a must read for
cinema fans everywhere.
What people say:
"Journalist
Julius and Oscar-winning makeup artist Berger have assembled a
loving, photo-filled tribute to the people who created special
effects movie makeup spanning from 1922's Nosferatu to 2022's Evil
Dead Rise. They've assembled an all-star list of filmmakers as
contributors who sing the praises of specific artists and fondly
recall which films and artists launched their own passion about
becoming special makeup artists. Tom Savini (Dawn of the Dead)
remembers Man of a Thousand Faces changing his life; Rick Baker
(American Werewolf in London) relives working as Dick Smith's
assistant on The Exorcist. Tami Lane (The Hobbit) notes getting
hooked on Fangoria magazine at age four; and Nick Dudman recalls
creating the prosthetics for Jack Nicholson's Joker in Batman.
Christopher Tucker recollects creating (with Stuart Freeborn) the
creatures in Star Wars (director George Lucas "was the epitome
of vagueness. He just didn't know what he wanted."). It's a
treat for movie buffs, jam-packed with full-color photographs--many
behind the scenes. Includes filmographies for the 67 actors,
directors, and makeup artists quoted in the book. VERDICT: This
splendid salute to a century of horror and sci-fi film makeup will be
a high-demand item for film fans and budding makeup artists."
