Not horror, but I've always loved Harryhausen's work. Yeah, I'm old, deal with, and get off my lawn!

Tom Savini is my favorite, and I'm also a big fan of Greg Nicotero, his work is fantastic.

Hi all,

Being horror fans, we love gore, guts and gruesome special effects. So here's a thread to discuss your favourite make up artists of the horror world. Who are your favourites and what of their work do you like best?

You can't beat Tom Savini in my opinion! Truly the champion of his craft. There's so many great effects of his to choose from - it's so tough.

More recently, there's an up and coming artist who I think is just fantastic. Whilst dealing with lots and lots of gore, he also has a knack for more subtle effects. Yep, of course, it's Todd Masters! He did a brilliantly gruesome job with True Blood and his latest work in (the absolute MUST SEE!) American Mary is also amazing too...

So what's everyone's favourite make up artist and master of gore?
