don't really know where to get started in this industry,

or how to get started. So, you know, it's

just education really, is why we put this on, and it

gives ever body else a chance that loves this sort of stuff

to try their hand at it. -They typically give

everybody an identical kit, and then they usually have some

sort of mystery ingredient. So they want you to

do different stuff. With this one, it

was more theme based. They wanted beauty, as

well as, you know, a beast. So it was the beauty and

the beast was the theme, and I just wanted to personally

deviate from the zombie stuff. You know, I mean everyone

can slap blood on people, and make them all gory,

and make a zombie, but I wanted to go in

a different direction. What I'm hoping

to get from this, I want a little bit

more in-depth knowledge about what I'm working

with, so that I can take my skill set

to the next level. -I love Tom Savini. He will always be Sex

Machine in my heart. I'm sorry, I've always

wanted those pants. -I did stumble across

a documentary called "Scream Greats Volume

One," from Fangoria. It's about Ton Savini,

and that became my entry into a lot of modern

zombie effects, makeup effects, and things like that. -When people think

horror, that's one of the main names that

comes to people's minds. [MUSIC] -I got so scared watching

movies when I was a kid, that I decided I wanted to

-- I wanted to scare people. I still have that. I still have to scare people. I scare my daughter at

home, you know, constantly. My grandson, who's 9 years old. It's a thrill. It's a thrill. It's the same thrill. I mean why do you go

to the amusement park and have somebody strap

you into a machine and shoot you up into the sky. You pay for that. Just like you pay to

go see a horror movie. The movie "A Man Of

A Thousand Faces." I saw that movie when I was

11 years old, and that was it. From that day on I

wanted to be the guy that creates the monsters. Before that, I thought

they were real. You know, and they were real. And that magic is

gone forever, you know, once you get

behind the camera, you know, behind the scenes. That's the sad thing. That's the irony that

most kids don't realize. They want to be involved in

movies for the magic that some -- the saw, but it kills the

magic forever, as you know. Yeah. The only two movies that have

scared me were "The Exorcist" and "Alien," you know.

'Cause so many times you go to see a movie and you're

thinking about camera angles, and you know, what the

directors choices for making. You didn't have to

time in those movies. You were just getting

too scared, you know? Plus I was raised a Catholic,

and it hit a nerve, you know? [MUSIC] -I'm into tattoos. But yeah, I have

a lot of friends who get a whole series

from a horror movie. Like a full sleeve. -Halloween's my

favorite holiday, so a lot of the tattoos

are based on that. Like this whole sleeve

is like Halloween- based, but there's like a

little kid right here, and he's got like dream

clouds around him, so it's basically all supposed

to be like a nightmare. On this arm, I've got a couple

of Vincent Price portraits holding a portrait of me as a

kid zombie with my brains out. -I like to refer to my

look as horror punk. A lot of people call me goth. My tattoos -- my favorite

one being my Elvira. And then I have

my interpretation of Gage and Church

from "Pet Cemetary." And then, this is just my own

design of just a Halloween. -I m on my neck I'm gonna

have two zombie hands eventually, like

tearing my throat open. -People get horror tattoos

because it's something that's easily relateable They

can relates to the monsters themselves, and they

have -- it's great art. Depending on whether you're

doing a realistic tattoo or not, it's pretty much -- you

take the portrait of the actual tattoo, and you take a picture

and then you make a stencil from that, and lay

it on the person so it's directly the same thing. Unless you're doing a custom

drawing of the tattoo, and then you're making a

stencil for that. [MUSIC] DOUG BRADLEY: The loyalty of

horror fans is staggering. -Attracts a highly

intelligent fan base who are willing to

do the research work. You know, drama fans are

or even action fans are. They're willing to do it. They're fiercely loyal. Underestimate them

at your peril. -People treat you

differently 'cause, you know, you can kind

of sense that you're like a die hard horror fan,

and then that scares them. -People like to be scared

because, I mean, they know their lives aren't in danger

when they're in a theater, when they're in a

haunted house, you know? They freak, but

then they kind of laugh about it at the same time. -It reflects a whole lot of

what happens to us in real life, but it's also a huge

bit of escapism. It's more or less the

mystery that scares me. If it's something that's

gory and right in my face, I can already see it. I know what it is. I know what I'm dealing with. When I don't know with -- -Our idea of horror itself is

deeply based psychological. We all have a fight

or flight response. -But I think it's

almost therapeutic. I really do. I mean, I look at

myself and think back -- even in my youth, why

did I watch horror? I think I had certain

fears of inhibitions, and some how, on the screen,

it all played out for me. -I think the true

horror for any of us is the fear we have

within ourselves. -The blood and guts stuff,

it's like that's nice, but it's not really so

much what is frightening. What's frightening is not really

understanding what's going on. -It became very

tangible and doable. I could watch it unfold. Problems being solved,

monsters being resolved. You know? I think it's very, very healthy. I really do. -And I like good

versus evil, and that's what they're all about.
