Discussing FREAKED (1993) with Special Guest SFX Makeup Artist Bill Corso

Описание: Booooooo Duuuuude! This episode is a very special one!

My dad, special effects makeup artist Tony Gardner, and I sit down with Oscar-winning makeup artist Bill Corso for a deep dive into the 1993 cult classic Freaked (directed by Alex Winter) —but this conversation goes way beyond the film itself. My dad and Bill have known each other for decades, and it all starts with how they first met while working together on The Blob (1988). In today's episode we rewind the clock to the early ’90s and get into what it was really like creating some of the most outrageous practical effects of the era.

We break down their respective work on Freaked, swap hilarious and unbelievable behind-the-scenes stories, and share rare insights into the creativity, chaos, and camaraderie that defined cult filmmaking at the time. Bill’s storytelling, in particular, paints such a vivid picture that it feels like stepping straight back onto set in the early ’90s.

Sit back, nerd out, and come hang with us as we celebrate Freaked, practical effects, and the artists who brought the madness to life.
