Burns

At Fright Fest there is a man who shaved his head and got burns done on it. This post will show and explain how they made the effect possible.

First, They dabbed Liquid Laytex on his head and layed tissues on it. As it began to dry, they pealed parts of it back to give it the effect of skin pealing off his head (as shows to the left). After this they put lotion on the rest of his skin and began to spray his head black. after spraying the black, they moved to red on his actual head (the spots they pealed back) and put yellow around each pealing. After all of the paint was applied, theu put the fake blood on the wounds to make it look more realistic and gross. Finally, they put Lubricant on his head to give it a nice finish.

In the end it looked like he had been in the electric chair quite a few times. He went with it and named himself Nikolai T. Coil after Nikolai Tessla who made the Nikolia Tessla Coil (an electrode that generates electricity)


Fright Fest

Fright Fest comes around each October at 6 Flags Great Adventure. The ghouls, ghosts, and monsters you have only seen in your night mares come out to play, feed, and horrify. NO ONE IS SAFE!
This spook-tacular celebration is one to remember. The ghouls roam the grounds of the park along with 3 haunted trails (The Asylum, The Demented Forest, and Zambora).

In The Asylum they use special effects such as strobe lights and creepy music to set the mood. The ghouls in there orange jump suits, doctors robes, and straight jackets (as seen in the picture to the left) begin to jump out at you and mess with your head.

In Zambora, guests witness creatures with unexplainable talents. A man (painted with stripes and scales) whom is part man, part tiger, and part snake bends his body in un-natural ways. A woman transforms into a gorilla (using merriors and special effects) right before your very eyes.

In the Demented Forest, guests witness strange characters such as Stony (a creature who is half human, half rock). Stony is the gate keeper to the demented forest and she won't be able to save you from what this trail has in store. A traveling fair has camped out in the forest. Sadly, things have taken a turn for the worst. The clowns have gone crazy and have been tormented by a masked figure and monsters of the earth. Creature (as shown on the right) is one of the many monsters of the earth who shows no mercy. They blend in well so you will never know if she is asleep, far away, or right behind you.

About half of the ghouls at fright fest have prosthetics and all of them have paint that is air brushed on every night. Blood is added once the paint has dried to make set the delightfully dead mood.
