Ever since the days of Lon Chaney, Sr. special effects make-up has played a crucial role in the history of motion picture cinema. Produced by Starz Inside, this revealing documentary explores the history of special effects make-up through classic movie clips, rare behind-the-scenes photos, and interviews with the filmmakers and artists who have all helped to elevate the uniquely cinematic art form.
