We were commissioned to make a functional Kraken tentacle for a TV show. The budget was extremely modest and we only had less than a week to make it happen. This project was challenging, but we were happy with what we accomplished in the allotted time frame. The client was thrilled and we can’t wait to show you guys what the end result looks like once the show is released. 🐙
Shout out to our dudes at @thefoammart in Burbank!

V/H/S Halloween “Home Haunt” (2025) out now on @shudder
We’ve been huge fans of the series since the original came out in 2012, and it was absolutely a dream come true to get to be part of this new one. We cannot thank you enough @joshgoldbloom for bringing us aboard! @michaelschreiber@habs84@johnny2tone for being a great set of producers to work with! @michelinepitt and @rh.norman for being an absolutely pleasure to work with and trusting us with all your gore and blood fx! And of course @davidbruckner and @zmartez for recommending us for the project in the first place!
This was a crazy build list of items to get done in less than 2 weeks, when we originally got the script and were told the deadline it was certainly a bit of panic but we’re always up for the challenge. We could not have done it without the help of the insanely talented @allbeautysleeps , he was definitely our secret weapon fabricating and creating elements for almost all of these gags and @sandman_fx for helping with a few last minute pieces as well!
One of the best things about this was the total collaboration of it between departments. @michelinepitt and @rh.norman were so welcoming to hear our thoughts and ideas about how best to execute these gags on screen, open to making the changes we felt would help achieve all of this in camera which was the biggest challenge. seanmmcdaniel likewise was not only open to hearing how we thought things should be shot but also actively working with us to think outside the box for some of these shots.
@carleighherbert and her makeup team @erikporn@sashaglasser@allydoesmakeup@tarnovetska@codyjwilkins absolutely slayed these makeups throughout the segment.
We’ll be posting more in depth of the making of each of these gags and behind the scenes videos and photos soon and yes like 95% of all the blood fx is practical in camera!

“Leprechaun Revenge” A few months back talking to @leavisisland he mentioned that they wanted to do a proof of concept Leprechaun short under @fuzz_on_the_lens and asked if I would want to create the prosthetics. I jumped at the chance to lend a hand and get to do something that means a lot to me. The leprechaun movies are one of the earliest horror films I remember seeing as a kid and I always loved the blend of comedy and horror. Mike was very clear they wanted to go back to the original look of the first couple films. The challenge being that Linden has a very different face shape than Warwick, so we took a few liberties and made some slight changes to the design to make it work more with his face. The other challenge being we had about a week between getting the face cast and needing the prosthetics ran to start shipping out. All in all really happy with how this all turned out, and so thankful to be brought on to this project. You guys all killed it, and love how many people involved were all part of the Terrifier family!
The application on set was handled by the wonderful @alana_rose_fx , who absolutely crushed it!
Make sure to check out the short on YouTube, like and leave some comments! @lionsgatehorror@lionsgate let’s make this happen, give the people what they want!
