Prosthetic makeup

Prosthetic makeup is the process of using prosthetic casting techniques to create advanced cosmetic effects. Prosthetic makeup was revolutionized by Dick Smith in such films as The Godfather, where they first used squibs to simulate gun shot wounds. It was later lead by such people as Tom Savini (Friday the 13th, Dawn of the Dead, Creepshow), Rob Bottin (The Thing, Total Recall), Rick Baker (Nutty Professor), and Stan Winston (Jurrasic Park, Interview with a Vampire).
