Inspired by the film Man of a Thousand Faces, a young Tom Savini became fascinated with the magic and illusion of film. He spent his youth in his room creating characters by tirelessly practicing make-up. Later, as a combat photographer in Vietnam, Savini saw first-hand the gruesome carnage for which he later gained fame, simulating it on screen. Anonymous Trivia:
Has been dubbed the "The Godfather of Gore" from his brilliant
Gore/Makeup work in his movies.
Father of 'Lia Savini' .Quotes:
(When asked if his Vietnam experiences influence his makeup effects):
"I get asked that question a lot. I did see a lot of first hand
anatomically correct gore and I think the most important part of that
was if we create a dead body or situation there's a certain feeling you
get from seeing the real thing. If I'm creating a gory effect and I
don't get the same feeling when I saw the real stuff, I'm not
satisfied." |
