The 80s retro anthology! Not only does this issue include a host of big makeup FX names talking about the Golden Age of the creature effects revolution (and a hilarious ‘Dear Neill’ advice column), but also a section of personal memories from makeup FX’s enduring leaders on their 80s experiences. Not to be missed.

Look out for 

  • From The Thing to Thriller: the 80s revolution in creature effects
  • Ridley Scott’s Alien: Covenant – aliens, artefacts and effects from a combined effort across the globe
  • A tricky brief for Legacy Effects on Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol 2

Features

Legacy Effects’ Lindsay MacGowan / Shane Mahan and team members talk Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol 2, Creatures Inc. / Odd Studio’s combined work on Ridley Scott’s Alien: Covenant / Joe Nazzaro reminisces with a host of big makeup FX names on the eighties creature effects explosion, along with another affectionate curation of memories by Neill Gorton.

Tutorials and tech specs

Anthony Davies on silicone brush up mould making, Stuart Bray and Todd Debreceni in part one of a multi-part tutorial on latex appliances, Specialist retailer Lisa Munro and industry airbrush aficionado Tim Gore talk airbrushes, and Netherlands-based makeup FX artist Lawrence Kelatow on setting up your own workshop.
