After I shared yesterday’s post about John Carpenter’s The Thing to my Facebook page my friend Brandon shouted out Rob Bottin, the boy genius who created The Thing‘s groundbreaking special effects make-up when he was only about 22 years old. If that film doesn’t convince you of Bottin’s flat out genius you need to see what he did for The Howling even before he worked with Carpenter. The Howling is one of the best werewolf films of all time, and since werewolves are my favorite movie monsters, you know I’m a huge fan of Bottin’s.
Here’s a YouTube playlist focusing just on Bottin’s werewolf creations as we continue with the petrifying posts for the Halloween season…
