Monster Man

Written by: Stu Cooper

So I was facebooking the other day and a film friend of mine was going on and on about how amazing this new show "Monster Man" was. Well any show with the word Monster involved, I'm inclined to checkout. Turns out this is a show on Syfy that just premiered. The show revolves around the world of special effects in horror/filmmaking. This is a show that I naturally enjoyed.



I grew up admiring the work of Greg Nicotero and Tom Savini. Unfortunately the show does not feature either of them, but mostly revolves around Cleve Hall. Hall has plenty of credible experience (and he is not shy about mentioning this on the show). The other cast members are his ex-wife, his daughter, and his boss. The show did sadly feature some lame reality show pre-scripted drama, but when you cut out all that, it's a great show! The episode I saw featured a "double" theme. One project was making a conjoined twin mold that would be ripped apart (complete with blood ending) and the other was a two-headed shark rig that would be used for the Asylum film "Two Headed Shark Attack". I would definitely recommend setting your DVR for this one!
