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 led by such people as Tom Savini (Friday the 13th, Dawn of the Dead, Creepshow), Rob Bottin (The Thing, Total Recall), Rick Baker (The Nutty Professor), and Stan Winston (Jurassic Park, Interview with the Vampire).
