Howling III: The Marsupials (1987) was filmed entirely in director Philippe Mora's native Australia. The already low budget film had another problem: the fact Australia didn't really have a seasoned special effects artist scene, unlike the USA, UK or Japan. Australia wouldn't get a heavy FX scene until Farscape was made in the country a decade later!

To realize Howling III's various creatures, Mora turned to Bob McCarron, one of the few notable makeup artists in Australia at the time. McCarron had already provided the elaborate boar puppet and some facial prosthetics for Russell Mulcahy's Razorback (1984).

One highlight of McCarron's work is the 'were-thylacine' (it's clunky I know) that Max Fairchild transforms into. Facial prosthetics were made for Fairchild's early stages of transformation, as well as a rudimentary 'change o head' puppet. The final suit seems to consist of a bodysuit with fur applied, as well as sculpted taloned gloves, and a thylacine mask with mechanisms allowing the jaws to open and close. I love that they remembered to keep the stripes and small ears that the real thylacines had.

Behind the scenes images of Stephen Geoffreys having prosthetics applied to him as his turn as the unlucky Evil Ed in Fright Night (1985)

Steve Johnson wished Evil Ed's transformation to be lumpy and 'asymmetrical' in contrast to the transformations in American Werewolf in London and The Howling. Geoffreys would spend 18 hours in the makeup chair as prosthetics were applied to his whole body. He had to take sleeping pills to pass out the time away!

For filming the transformation, Geoffreys would have to sit with his back against the set wall, which had a hole for a puppeteer to operate the rod-puppet wolf arm, as well as holes in the set's floor for another puppeteer to operate the rod-puppet wolf legs. Geoffreys would wear a neck appliance with the wolf head as a 'hat'; he could see out from holes in the neck, and the head was fitted with cable-operated animatronics allowing it to blink and grimace.

Someone on here was trying to say that Heather was a mediocre looking cgi effect.

Well, suck on that practical makeup job right there.

It's called movie magic, kids.

Don't let the ai brainrot get ya.

A24 has released Beauty of the Beast, a “transformation manual” by special effects makeup artist Emily Schubert (Super Dark Times, Good Time). Priced at $44, the 8x11 book features an embossed gloss-laminated softcover.

It contains 180 pages of step-by-step instructions recreating for key looks, including alive, dead, young, old, bald, hairy, bony, and bloody; along with a primer on essential skills like creating a scar, removing tattoos, faking swat, covering pimples, applying a bald cap, applying a prosthetic; and more.

More than a makeup book, Beauty of the Beast is a transformation manual by special effects makeup artist Emily Schubert. Learn how to create a scar, remove a tattoo, and make someone look decades younger—or like a corpse. Based on Schubert’s years of experience in the film industry, this book is both a crash course in the world of SFX makeup and a portal into how you can manipulate the human face to tell a story.
