Sliders (1995)

Sliders was fairly sparse on episodes needing elaborate special makeup effects, with each episode that did having no makeup effects credits. The Kromaggs in the episode 'Invasion' are such an example, though as this was filmed in Vancouver, and several Grey masks sculpted by Toby Lindala for The X Files appear in the same episode, could these have been Lindala's work? These Kromagg makeups also bear a similarity to the makeups Lindala devised for the Outer Limits episode 'The Grell' as well, strengthening the case.

The rest of the episodes are harder to place; there are no special makeup effects credits for 'The Last of Eden', so it's unknown who realized the makeups for the episode's vampire-like Morlok pastiches. This was a third series episode, and all the series after the second were filmed in Los Angeles, so there's many contenders.

The makeup effects in the third season's 'This Slide of Paradise', a pastiche of The Island of Dr Moreau, also went uncredited, so again - who realized them? Thomas Surprenant, who did do work on the later LA-filmed episodes confirmed he was not responsible for the makeups in either 'Last of Eden' or 'This Slide of Paradise'. A mystery as of now.

The last two seasons had their special makeup effects supervised by Bernd J. Rantscheff, his team including Thomas Surprenant and James Rohland. Rantscheff's team redesigned the Kromaggs to be more human-like, now with heavy brows, noses and bald heads. I also would like to thank Thomas Surprenant for kindly sending me the behind the scenes photos he took during his time on the series!

One episode - I forget which at the moment - also required zombie makeups, a photo of which Surprenant kindly also provided to me below.

Rantscheff's team also realized the cyborg Eddies in the episode 'California Reich', with a silvery facial prosthetic obscuring the performer's mouth, as well as a half-face makeup applied to Carol Huston as an incomplete Eddie.
