Welcome to Grandpa’s Special Effects Lab — a workshop dedicated to practical horror effects, monster making, and special effects makeup.

This channel is all about the techniques used to create realistic horror effects without CGI. Inside the lab you’ll find tutorials on wounds, prosthetics, monster sculpting, makeup effects, and haunt tricks, used for haunted houses, and Halloween.

If you love practical FX, horror makeup, creature design, and the craft of bringing monsters to life, you’re in the right place.

Step inside the lab… and let’s build some monsters.
