What To Expect

Create chilling movie makeup

Experience what it is like to be a practical effects artist working on the movies and make your friends and family cringe in terror and gasp with horrified delight.

Ever wondered how movie makeup artists create a monstrous wound, complete with bruises, scrapes and a touch of horror? Our crew have been slipping and sliding on faux blood and loose limbs since the days of Braindead.

In our Intro to Scars and Scrapes workshop learn to craft lifelike prosthetic effects, from eerie scrapes to ghostly scars—guaranteed to make anyone look twice! In this hands-on experience, explore the thrilling world of special effects, stepping into the role of a movie makeup artist. With expert guidance, learn the essential tricks of the trade to bring ghastly scenes to reality using silicone gels, special effects makeup and movie blood.

Our creative workshops cater to small groups to allow for one-on-one learning with our crew and ensuring a spine-chilling good time for everyone. No creative experience is necessary.
