Phantom Frights - Short Film - Makeup and Effects

Mike McCoy

Back in December I worked on a short filmed here in Buffalo called Phantom Frights, it's a horror comedy about local ghost hunters investigating some a haunted mansion. We just screened it last night and it turned out so cool! I wanted to share some of the behind the scenes shots of the makeup and effects I did for this. I made all my prosthetics, they were all silicone for this. The makeup included 2 zombie/ghouls with brow prosthetics and teeth (which I also made) as well as a severe burn victim which was a total of 13 silicone prosthetics. I also made a rig for a shotgun blast going through someone's stomach as well as intestines. This was a lot of fun to work on the pay off was amazing seeing it all come together on the big screen. Thanks for looking!
