An archive of practical effects on film and television of the last few decades; from rubber prosthetics to puppets, animatronics and stopmotion miniatures. The title is so named 'Monsters On Screen' as that's typically what special makeup effects goes to making.
However, this isn't strictly really a 'monster' blog, as sometimes gore, body horror, deformities, and old age makeups can be included depending on how transformative (and interesting) it is. But hey, the name has stuck and I can't really think of a better one at the moment.
Some films - and their monsters - are not included as they have already been covered on other websites already. Any film that has been solidly covered already on the Monsterlegacy blog, such as Alien, Predator, The Thing, etc will not be be covered here.
Sources for quotes, information and sometimes images, are given in each article; typically from magazines such as Fangoria, Cinefex, Cinefantastique, etc. Many images also are found in behind the scenes featurettes, or on makeup artists' personal accounts. No ownership is claimed and this blog is just a hobby project for fun, not for profit.
A final note; this is not a 'review' blog, and there is no regard for spoilers or content warnings; if you want to watch the films after seeing the makeup effects, IMDB and Letterboxd should be your next stop and you can decide from there.
