This was my first time sculpting and casting blister applications and I couldn’t be happier with how they turned out. The silicone applications on the left are mine and the plastic wounds are from a moulage kit the lab was using. #sfx #specialeffects #sfxmakeup #makeupfx #makeupeffects #moulage

"The Making of DAY OF THE DEAD" by Lee Karr
Incredibly in-depth record of nearly everything that happened during production -including lots of photos, a little dirt and the shocking revelation of real human remains being used.
Highly recommended!

"Meanwhile, set decorator Jan Pascale, who had dealt with all of the real human organs used during the production, was busy making sure that they would be given to a place more befitting. "From what I remember, I think we actually donated them to biology labs and stuff at the end. I sort of, you know, it was a long time ago, but I sort of remember that, that we wanted it to go to a place where it would actually be used in the manner in which it was intended," says Pascale. "In hindsight I feel sort of guilty because there were these poor people that donated their bodies to science and they ended up in a zombie movie. [laughs] Their brains, you know, were not being used so scientifically."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:jevahia37b5b6shamzkpaxmg/bafkreigzuljc3jgbiyurixazttpuvncror73ame7hlewjkbcc2yj2qnmty@jpeg)

Hot take: Can you even call yourself a special effects makeup artist if you don't know how to do everything? From sculpture,molding, and then application? 🤔
