Episode 007- The Gods of Monsters: The Men Who Mastered Makeup

Boo!  You know those scary monsters that haunt your dreams?  Make-up artists and actors make them come to life.  Make-up effects have evolved with film from the beginning of cinema.  Artists delve into the dark parts of themselves to make real horrors we may not have even imagined.  Sometimes the work is so good that the monsters become iconic in our culture.  Can you imagine a time when no one knew what the Frankenstein monster looked like?  In this episode I talk about make-up artists who transformed the craft and in turn transformed cinema.   If you like the show, please consider writing a review on iTunes.  It really helps.  Thanks a lot for listening.    You can now subscribe to the Hellbent for Horror podcast now available on iTunes and Stitcher   iTunes link: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/hellbent-for-horror/id1090978706 Stitcher link: http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/hellbent-for-horror?refid=stpr   For you, the listeners of Hellbent for Horror, Audible is offering a free audiobook download with a free 30-day trial to give you the opportunity to check out their service.
