Interview - Heather Wixson (Monsters, Make-Up and Effects, Vol. 1)

In this special interview episode, we talk to horror journalist/historian Heather Wixson about her amazing new book Monsters, Make-Up and Effects, Vol. 1, which chronicles the history of the make-up effects industry. Listen as we share formative childhood experiences watching horror movies, examine the politics behind the selection process for make-up Academy Awards, and comment on the divide between practical and computer-generated effects in modern cinema. Warning: Contains explicit language and a Rob Bottin sighting in the wild. Our theme song is "Nostalgia TV" by Edward Jonathan Blakeley through Lynne Publishing. The book is available through AM Ink's imprint Dark Ink here.
