How to Apply Vampire Special Effects Makeup

Series Summary

Modern research has revealed that not all vampires age like Bela Lugosi, George Hamilton or Catherine Deneuve, charming middle-age seduction artists whose dangerous fangs only seem to make them more popular with the opposite sex. No, just like in normal human life, some vampires are better looking than others, and more relevant to this series, some just seem to get old more gracefully than others. This discrepancy in aging may not be noticeable in the short term, but when we are talking about lives that last for centuries, the wrinkles really do add up. In fact the vampire who stars in this series must have been a horrible sight two hundred years ago, but now she is simply ghastly. In fact we here at Expert Village could not tell whether our vampire model had been involved in a grisly car accident or simply gotten up on the wrong side of the coffin since the the middle of the eighteenth century.

In this series of vampire makeup videos, our special effects expert demonstrates how to apply make up, eye mask and creepy wig to create one of the scariest video hosts you'll ever see. Brad Schecter tells you all the materials you will need for this scary costume, then shows you each stage of the transformation. He also includes safety tips and discusses the best way to remove the makeup up.
