It's Terror Tuesday! Yesterday, we lost the legendary William Friedkin so let's celebrate the work of another legend who brought his terrifying vision for THE EXORCIST to life: Dick Smith. Smith was one of the most innovative makeup artists ever & he raised the bar w/his work on this classic film.

It's Sunday Funday around these parts, so today, let's celebrate the wildly imaginative effects from HOUSE II: THE SECOND STORY, created by Chris Walas & his team at CWI. Bippy the Caterpuppy deserves to be a horror icon & HOUSE II still remains the best movie featuring a crystal skull!
