Halloween/Special Effects/ Character Makeup

~From spooky to spectacular ~

~Your creative visions brought to life~

Imagine walking into the Halloween party and hearing, “Well, looks like we know who won!”

For over a decade, I’ve heard this story again and again - Halloween is hands down my favourite time of year to be creative and bring nightmares to life.

Whether you want a subtle fantasy painting, a spooky special effects wound, or a full custom prosthetic transformation like we do in the movies, we will make sure you’re the standout star of the night!

Character/Prosthetics

If your look involves character transformation, we’ll work together on creating custom prosthetics designed just for you. Using materials like latex, gelatin, or silicone, these pieces add dimension and realism that bring your vision fully to life.

Custom Prosthetics take time to create so be sure to book well in advance! This may also require a full life casting of your face/body - though we may also have pre-made options available.
