Monthly Halloween (1985-1995) was the most important publication ever to exist

One from the vaults for #WerewolfWednesday - a nice, basic werewolf & full moon.

Huh seems, I found the identity of this mystery wolf - it's actually from the infamous Werewolf aka Arizona Werewolf (1997) that landed a spot on MST3K

New article! This was quicker to write up, covering Lindala's work on the X-Files spinoff series Millennium! Would like to again thank Leanne Podivan (@goryjedi on Insta) for sending me some images too!) #Millennium #XFiles #TobyLindala makeupeffectsarchive.blogspot.com/2025/09/mill...

exclusive designs for Five Nighty-Night Fredericks No. 209 (VR exclusive) just leaked

Apparently there was a new Fifty Years at Frankie & Bennys game released a few months ago. Looked at the designs and they all suck ass! Which is good! Please keep doing that, as finally the franchise will loose its iron hydraulic grip on the furry fandoms balls

Werewolf Garden- collage/mixed media. Happy #werewolfwednesday everyone. #werewolf #art #drawing #illustration #collage

I still can't stop thinking of the old Optic Nerve Studios website: web.archive.org/web/20121016...

New article, and the last of Toby Lindala's work on the original run on X-Files before filming moved to Vancouver. Must thank Leanne Podivan (@goryjedi on Instagram) for sending me some of these images as well! makeupeffectsarchive.blogspot.com/2025/09/the-...

'The Little Witch' by Ida Rentoul Outhwaite

Ideologically, yes I know nostalgia is a psychological trap and often things in the past were worse But damn do I get a little dewey eyed coming across makeup artists' old-ass Web 1.0 websites via Wayback Machine and adoring the graphics and web design.

Check out this behind the scenes photo I found of the cat puppet! From a copy of Trust No One: The Official Third Season Guide to The X-Files

Two demonic X-Files behind the scenes/promotional shots you may all enjoy... One is a shot from 'Grotesque', of the transformed gargoyle killer (barely seen in the episode!) The other's a shot from 'All Souls', this one you only see it's shadow in the final episode! #XFiles #TobyLindala

Bsky's recent policies make a whole lot more sense when you remember it was always designed for a type of white collar shitlib scared of being yelled at by pinkos Hence all these features. The reply controls, the nuclear blocks, and yes, the public coding that lets fucking Clearsky exist

You know with all the big fandoms that shows like X-Files, Dr. Who, etc have, you'd think there would be coffee table books for fans explicitly all about the makeup FX right? Why's that not the case?

Thinking of the killer cat puppet that Toby Lindala fabricated for the much-derided X-Files episode 'Teso Dos Bichos' The puppet was made as Gillian Anderson was allergic to cats, and ergo couldn't film a scene with a real one. The puppet was coated in rabbit fur. Personally I love this puppet!

did anyone else ever see that weird 90s TV movie sequel to It Came From Outer Space? all I remember from it is that a coyote is the first thing to be duplicated by the aliens, and the real coyote is still in the alien craft when it flies away at the end I always wondered what happened to it

More weird cat postcards that went out to patrons. As usual, if you sign up for my patreon you can also get in on unique monthly postcards as well at stickers patreon.com/dobescrusher #art #drawing #collage #illustration

Postcards for my patrons for September. I went with a weird cats theme. #art #collage #drawing #illustration

It’s everyone’s favorite 18th century werewolf, the Beast of Gevaudan, drawn in its most cute look!

To balance out the grouch, Im a little flattered that a short film director messaged me as to if I know any books on how to do makeup effects!!

signed this. easy to do. support independent press. support artists. give trans people money. fuck nazis. fuck ICE. free Palestine.

My grouchier tednencies have probably been enabled by being struck by a cold today

Go to 45 minutes in roughly to find the Rick Baker cameo where he's critiqueing the 'real' footage of what is quite obviously a puppet. I wonder who made this puppet? Todd Masters is credited on IMDB, but as far as I know he's not brought it up publicly.

has anyone else seen Area 51: The Alien Interview (1997) ? Another relic of 90s UFOmania, and one trying to steal Alien Autopsy's thunder it seems (and making many disparaging references to it). It's on Youtube at the moment too. youtu.be/TvamS6X5l2I?...

Amanda Lear, “Never Trust a Pretty Face” (Ariola, 1979), with cover and poster art by Fred Jürgen Rogner.

Grant Wood (1891-1942), “January” (1940), oil on Masonite, 82.5 x 67 cm.

Grant Wood (1891-1942), “Midnight Ride of Paul Revere” (1931), oil on masonite, 100 x 76 cm.

Actually you know what's also fun? Biomechanical, organic spaceship interiors. The original Alien, Lifeforce, Lexx, there's probably a couple more, but I love that shit

Remember that trend in late 90s scifi set design where everything was all swooshy and slightly 'organic' feeling? The 90s Star Treks, Farscape, 90s Lost in Space, The Arrival? That was fun, I wonder what design movements etc it was inspired by.

No, this is a photo of the animatronic #Nessie model made by Crawley Creatures for the Channel 5 documentary 'Loch Ness Monster: The Ultimate Experiment', broadcast August 28th 2005. The model is today on show at Oxford University Museum of Natural History, here it is... 2/n

This #LochNessMonster photo is doing the rounds on social media, accompanied by a fake story about it being real, and new, and attached to a specific eyewitness event. I see people on Facebook groups thinking that the photo is the 'real deal', sigh. However... 1/n

There's only two things I will Um Actually people about 1) miscrediting makeup/effects artists (don't worry with my pals I do this gently) 2) the myth that Hugo Boss designed the Nazis boring uniforms

Does anyone remember the show Dinosapien? One of these myriad 2000s kids shows that feels completely lost to time. I dont know if it was a good show or not, it was basically 'we have Dinotopia at home' but my god the main dino's...feather mohawk?

Carel Willink (1900-1983), “De Eeuwige Schreeuw [The Eternal Cry]” (1964), oil on canvas, 140 x 114 cm. Or is it “Scream”?

1976 Ted CoConis cover art for 'Touch Not the Cat,' by Mary Stewart

Sad to hear that we have lost the legendary Italian cinematographer SERGIO SALVATI. His work with Fulci was exemplary. He was also an assistant cameraman on THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY. RIP

Wolf in Woods- minimal collage with cut paper shapes. I was originally tempted to draw in more details onto the wolf but ended up liking this as-is. #collage #traditionalart #art

Are people really still doing that tumblr shit of reposting artwork without crediting the original artists just to farm follows? I know that google search is increasingly junk now but the fact you are reposting it as is indicates you know the source

Sea Witch (Pale Waves attempt 2)

Hey all! I'd like to thank the world's media institutions, and of course the Bluesky mods, for being totally normal and proportional about a barely famous trans woman cracking wise about a Nazi's death.

Good thing I have as much respect for Rottentomatoes as I do for the Razzies (none)

Looking into special effects contact lenses has revealed that only a select few have been making them! Morton Greenspoon was responsible for the contact lenses in many seminal werewolf/vampire films. His obituaries also say he worked on American Werewolf and Thriller www.imdb.com/name/nm03392...

With all due respect @dawnofthediscsnews.bsky.social this has 'scam' written all over it, in badly formatted gibberish AI slop text speak. Don't think it is a good look to be promo'ing a blatant attempt to con people. No way in hell is this a legit project in any capacity.

Refinery

I've had the chance to wear some pretty cool ones while working on sets. These are the only ones I had the opportunity to photograph (could I barely see? Yeah - worth it? Totally).

I just think they're neat

An easy way to support one of the very best people in our greater creative community is to spend a few bucks on pre-made patches, lanyards, pins, and stickers from her store. ko-fi.com/crysmonster/...
