The makeup effects work on this Halloween season’s Terrifier 3 is complete, director Damien Leone has announced in a social media post this week that’s full of praise for the contributions from Christien Tinsley and his team at Tinsley Studio. The award-winning makeup effects studio is handling all the insane gore in the upcoming slasher sequel, and Leone promises that the bar for Terrifier violence is going to be raised even higher come October 11, 2024.
How is that even possible, you ask?! Leone writes on Instagram, “That’s a wrap on our incredible makeup FX team (@tinsleymua). It was scary relinquishing the makeup FX on Terrifier 3 to another team since me and @pjfalcone did mainly all of the FX work on part 1 & 2. But this time around, the scope of the film was just too big and the requirements were too great so it was time to bring in an amazing team so I could focus on directing.”
“Needless to say the great Christien Tinsley and his crew brought my film into another stratosphere with their incredible artistry,” Leone continues. “They took on every insanely horrific idea I threw at them with gusto! “No”was never an option even when it was something I came up with on the spot last minute. Those are the kinds of artists a director dreams of working with so thank you sincerely for a wonderful collaboration and I can’t wait to see your work thrill audiences.
“To all the Terrifier fans out there – you seriously can’t imagine what’s in store for you come October! Your stomachs will turn and your minds will be blown! Also, a very special shout out and thank you to two key members who were there with us, knee deep in the bloody trenches every day on set applying makeup and spraying blood:@heathen_fx and @ryankeithward. You guys are an absolutely joy to work with and total rockstars.”
