On this day in 1982, 'The Thing', a practical effects masterpiece was unleashed, showcasing Rob Bottin's exceptional creature designs and makeup effects that still stand unmatched. 🧊👽

Commemorating the release of 'Blade Runner' 🏙️. Ridley Scott’s 1982 sci-fi masterpiece not only pushed the boundaries of storytelling but also set new standards in special effects makeup. Marvin G. Westmore and his team’s work on the film was pivotal in creating the visually rich, dystopian world of Blade Runner. From the intricate details on replicants to the weathered looks of the city dwellers, each makeup choice played a significant role in immersing audiences in this futuristic universe.
