#i should send you more horror asks aaaaaa

[lesbianwithchainsaws]

horrror ask what Is. your favorite practical effect in a horror movie?

ngl this is such a hard question to answer bc I feel like I could just list 80% of the movies I've seen. Especially movies from the 70s/80s. Even if all the practical effects aren't amazing, I really love how they look overall in those films!!

I guess main answer would be anything by Tom Savini. I am obsessed with his effects and have watched certain movies only because he's in the makeup department. He's done a bunch of kills and gore effects for so many movies, especially in the 80s, and I think almost all of them are so good!!!!

The Thing as well obviously has amazing effects. Especially the one where the stomach opens up suddenly!

The Fly! I need to watch more Cronenberg films tbh, I haven't seen enough of them. And The Fly has such good and memorable body horror with practical effects. If I remember correctly, I think there was a scene where like fingernails were coming off and it was so well made!

Hellraiser as well. Especially towards the end, with all the hooks pulling the skin!

The effects in Re-animator with the head being reanimated and talking, and the headless body moving! I guess maybe it's not as impressive, but I really like it.

Off the top of my head, these would probably be the main ones. Though there's definitely hundreds more movies that have incredible practical effects!
