Sam Tepper

🛸 Probe4Probe? 👽 I was invited to participate in @cinemamakeupschool first ever Monster Bash! @downtoclownmakeup and I were paired up, given some prosthetics, and told to go nuts. And just like any good artist collaboration things ultimately got weird and a little sexy. Lobsters, Alt Fashion, and just general Queerness was put into a blender and out popped our lovely alien! @samttepper was our wonderful model who KILLED it even being partially blind! Thank you to @onyxnailsdesign for the sick as hell Electric Eel nails we got to play with, @c.lenny.makeup for giving us the opportunity to explore and create, and to @honoraryfilms for the out of this world photos

A Supernova Slay 💥🛸✨💅 . Honored to have been selected to participate in the first ever Monster Ball Invitational at Cinema Makeup School 🖤 thank you for the opportunity to create, experiment, and push our artistic boundaries! . After being paired up and handed a set of prosthetics + a sick set of nails from @onyxnailsdesign , we had 1 week to come up with a plan! . A huge thank you to my partner @whymeguy - it was so fun to collaborate with you on this!! Our color inspo started with cotton candy irredescent lobsters and spiraled into full blown cosmic color chaos! And endless gratitude to our model @samttepper for fully bringing this creature to life!! . And big shoutout to @c.lenny.makeup for creating this event and @honoraryfilms for the professional pictures 🫶🫶

HHH 2025 When they announced that Art the Clown would be at Horror Nights this year I knew that I needed to get into that makeup and be Art this season. I definitely made it very clear to everyone I wouldn’t shut up about it to! It was an incredibly meaningful experience embodying Art this year alongside so many other talented performers. We had some remarkably large clown shoes to fill and we all killed it! Thank you so much to everyone at the Terrifier house, we all worked so hard this season doing seven brutal sets a night! Thank you to all the clowns in zone 1 who welcomed me with open arms, it was my first time up there and I instantly felt at home. It was an honor sharing our passion for scare acting together! Thank you to the supervisors and show quality team who trusted me with this role and coached me along the way. To be recognized for my hard work this season by receiving Stalk-around Art of the Year truly means the world to me. I’m extremely proud of myself and feel I was able to show myself and everyone else what I’m capable of. To the lovely makeup artists who applied and removed this face every night, thank you. I loved getting to know you all, it has been so special and I’m excited to see what we get ourselves into in the future! To my love, Oz. I’m so happy to be able to share this experience with you. Last year we auditioned together, this being a dream of yours from when you were just a kid. I’ve learned so much about myself doing this with you and look how far we have come in only two years, I’m so proud of us! I’m so proud of you too for being a back to back scare actor of the year!! It’s so amazing that we both were recognized for our efforts this season and I hope we have the chance to scare together one day. I love you so much ❤️ It has been an honor clowning around for you all this season 🤡🔥 #hhn #terrifier #arttheclown

Meet the Helmar the Hollow ‼️ - - - I had to show the process of this full transformation makeup. I loved doing this collab with @snatchandsculptbyisa I had such an amazing time working on this with you from the concept to the application. Thank you again to our wonderful model Sam we could not have done this without you! You really brought our character to life it was a pleasure working with you! And of course Chris for the amazing photography. It was so hard to pick my favorite pictures 😭 - makeup by @snatchandsculptbyisa and @sierraknowsmakeup prosthetic face and ears: @dyadpro @dyadmufx studio: @mudstudiolosangeles @makeupdesignory model: @samttepper photography: @chrissyr0ck paints: @ebaperformancemakeup @kryolanofficial @mudcosmetics - #makeupartist #makeup #makeupdesignory #losangelesmakeupartist #sfxmakeupartist #demonmakeup #demon #king #sfxmakeup #foamlatexprosthetics #sfx

The Hollow Throne His mother named him after a fighting fury, hoping a distinguished name would empower him for good, helping his people and the future of his kingdom. But he was born under a blood moon, crowned too young, and cursed too deep, being destined to tragedy since birth. He ruled with greatness for years, being beloved and bold. However, when famine gripped his lands, he sought to make a deal with a demon, Abaddon, who promised salvation by an abuncance of crops and livestock for centuries to come. But the promised abundance never came. The fields yielded withered crops, and the animals were born frail and starved. King Helmar wasn’t aware of what the pact entailed- destruction and doom to everyone across the realm, and to his highness, his humanity. His veins imploded with hatred, evil, and darkness… creeping up slowly like Abaddon’s thick black blood. Now they call him Helmar the Hollow- his eyes no longer his own, his face distorted by horns and malevolence.  This look was our very first creature collaboration, and we couldn’t be happier with the results and support we’ve had before, during, and after. We had so much fun with this look and coming up with his backstory; we hope you like our handsome demon-possessed king. Thank you so so so much to our amazing model @samttepper for sitting and bringing King Helmar to life. Thank you @chrissyr0ck for these incredible pics, to @seanconklin_mua and @kelceylucia.mua for feedback and allowing us in your classroom, and finally to @mudstudiolosangeles @makeupdesignory for giving us the education, space, and allowing us to do our thang all day!  Tags: MUAs: @snatchandsculptbyisa and @sierraknowsmakeup Model: @samttepper Photography: @chrissyr0ck Studio: @mudstudiolosangeles Pieces: @dyadpro @dyadmufx Paints: @kryolanofficial RGP @ebaperformancemakeup @mudcosmetics Tags: #makeup #makeuptutorial #makeupartist #specialeffectsmakeupartist #sfx #creaturedesign #demon #king #mua #losangeles #losangelesart

Portraying Muerte was the highlight of my first year at HHN. Getting the opportunity to be fully in character while interacting with guests was incredibly special for me! Thank you to my fellow scare actors, supervisors, costumers, mask teams, makeup artists, show qualities, set builders and designers, and anyone I’m forgetting! This event is not possible without the collaboration of everyone involved 🖤🎃

During HHN 2024 I played the creepy ghoul lady in The Weeknd maze plus Keyface Demon from Insidious. Although my time with these characters was brief it was an incredible experience. I have lots of love for the cast and crew from each of these houses for welcoming me with open arms❤️🖤

I had the honor of portraying El Cucuy last year @horrornights Thank you to everyone who made my first year some of the best times of my life. I have so much love for everyone involved in bringing this event to life.
