What this video covers

Professional SFX and film makeup artist Joe Castro takes center stage at Cult Classic Horror Convention 2022, performing a live horror makeup transformation — a maggot-ridden cadaver character — in front of a live audience. The entire process, normally done behind closed doors, is walked through step by step on camera. The demo was completed under time constraints of roughly ninety minutes, which the videographer notes likely affected the final result compared to a full production timeline.

Key takeaways

  • Rare behind-the-scenes look at a professional SFX artist's full transformation process in a live convention setting
  • Joe Castro builds a gruesome maggot-ridden cadaver look from start to finish
  • The compressed timeframe of about ninety minutes gives viewers a realistic sense of pacing and professional workflow
  • Serves as both an inspiring showcase and an informal tutorial on high-level horror makeup technique

Who this is for
