https://youtu.be/Tqq9lqshChc In October 2018 I had the GREAT pleasure and honor of working as an actor for Warner Bros. Studios' "Horror Made Here: A Festival of Frights" 2018 event. I appeared as Judge Joker in Arkham Asylum. The makeup appliance designed, designed by Lee Joyner, was expertly applied and then painted by the incredible Dan Gilbert. Here's a behind-the-scenes and in-the-maze video- featuring some of my performance as the villainous but charming clown prince of crime himself! There are so many people to thank for this opportunity- namely Michael Carone, Javier Vivas, Elyse Katz, and everyone at Planet C...Bonnie Hallman, Evangeline Zotigh, Alice Fraioli, and everyone at Mycotoo...the amazing people behind the Warner Bros. Studio Tour- especially Danny Kahn and Gary Soloff -and every single cast and crew member (especially David Woodruff!) involved with the entire production. I can't wait to see what's in store for "Horror Made Here" 2019! -------------------------------------------------------- Music composed by yours truly for "Quiet Room Bears". Available soon on "Hidden Nightmares" CD and digital download.Entertainment

Monsterpalooza 2018 Becomes Freddypalooza!

Ever wonder how this Disney-eyed guy becomes transformed into Frederick J. Krueger? Well, here's a brief look into the process. Sadly, this is only the tail end, as my wife (who filmed), was busy elsewhere during the beginning stages. But don't worry...when it happens again, I'll be sure to film the whole thing! That's a promise- from Freddy to you! (HUUUUGE shout out to David Miller for providing the pieces to us, David Woodruff for making a lifelong dream come true last October and doing it again this past weekend, and Charles Bernstein for the "Nightmare" motif. All music composed by me.)Entertainment

Becoming Jerry Dandrige from "Fright Night"

On April 13th, 2019...I had the GREAT pleasure and honor of participating as the model/actor for a makeup demo at the renowned Monsterpalooza convention in Pasadena, California. At the hands of the incredibly-talented Miranda Riddle and David Woodruff and their assistant, Jose Restrepo, I was transformed into Jerry Dandrige from the 1985 cult and horror classic, "Fright Night". The artists used prosthetics from RBFX in order to change my facial structure into that of the unforgettable character portrayed by Chris Sarandon. The application took a little more than 3 hours and once it was finished I had the distinct privilege and honor of introducing myself to both Tom Holland, writer and director of the beloved vampire film, and star Chris Sarandon- in full makeup and wardrobe (huge thanks to Western Costumes for the jacket!). Here's a behind-the-scenes video- featuring some of the footage of the process. There are so many people to thank for this opportunity- namely the good people of Monsterpalooza, European Body Art, Mel Products, Bdellium Tools SFX, RBFX Studio, Gordon Tarpley, Western Costume, and, of course, Tom Holland, Chris Sarandon, and original film makeup designer, Steve Johnson. But the biggest "thank yous" go to Jennifer Velasco, David Woodruff, and Miranda Riddle. Jennifer: you are so incredibly supportive of all my artistic endeavors. You are the rock in every single effort I undertake and put up with all my ridiculous shenanigans. I can't thank you enough for that. David: if it weren't for you, none of my Monsterpalooza makeup adventures would happen. You have so much faith in my talent and prop me up when I can't find the words or confidence to do so myself. I owe you SO much. And finally, Miranda: we began discussing this collaboration as a potential project SO long ago. Now...look what we created together. You are amazing- don't let anyone ever tell you different and don't ever BELIEVE anything different. Love you, girl. I can't wait to see what's in store for "Son of Monsterpalooza" 2019! -------------------------------------------------------- Music composed by yours truly for the documentary, "You're So Cool, Brewster: The Story of Fright Night".
