One of the main reasons for doing the Christel Death makeup photo shoot sequel was to get some photos of her with a hearse. I came up with the idea many months ago, and we had a hard time tracking down a hearse to use for the photo shoot. Strangely enough, I got hired as the makeup artist for a local haunt here in Utah called The Haunted Forest, and whaddya know- they just happen to have a 1972 hearse parked in their back lot. The owner was kind enough to give us permission to do our photo shoot at the Forest, and we intended to use the hearse for a bunch of the shots...Unfortunately, the weather wasn't gonna cooperate with us, so the only shots we got were my candid quick shots- the rain was relentless that day. Maybe sometime in the future we can revisit this concept and get some pro photos. Until then, enjoy my amateur shots!

That's just unfreakin' believable... the bones are so perfectly aligned to the contours of her body, awesome work. And this is a way better approach than for example Raimi's bulky rubber suits in Army of Darkness. Head to Hollywood now my friend, your new career in skeletal make-uppery awaits.
Thanks Karswell- it's pretty time consuming to do this makeup, but it sure looks cool when it's all finished. I wish there was better money to be made in the makeup in Hollywood, if I was single and didn't have a wife and kids to support, I would go for it, but for now I am kinda stuck where I am!
