Horror SPFX Workshop by Dead Puppy Studios

Step into the bloody side of practical effects with Dead Puppy Studios for a hands-on Horror SPFX Workshop at The Satanic Temple’s Salem Art Gallery.

Led by the FX artist behind the practical effects for Satanic Planet’s latest music video, this 18+ workshop will introduce you to the techniques used to create convincing bruises, cuts, wounds, blood effects, and other on-skin horror FX. You’ll learn how to layer color, texture, liquid latex, and blood to transform ordinary skin into something that looks like it had a very bad night.

No prior makeup or special effects experience is required. Whether you’re a horror fan, Halloween obsessive, aspiring FX artist, performer, photographer, or scare actor looking to make your character a little more disturbing, this workshop is designed to give you practical techniques you can recreate on your own.

Your ticket includes a take-home Horror FX Kit with a bruise wheel, liquid latex, blood, and applicators so the carnage doesn’t have to end when the class does. Attendees will also receive 10% off FX makeup supplies at The Magic Parlor.

Come ready to get messy, make something gruesome, and leave with the skills—and supplies—to create your own horror effects.
