Flashback AHS 1984 : Découvrez les coulisses FX de la créature du lac.

Le flashback AHS de la semaine revient sur 1984 et sa créature du lac.

Dans l’épisode 8 de la saison 9 d‘American Horror Story, une créature dans le lac du camp Redwood agrippe Mr Jingles, l’un des personnages principaux, et le fait chavirer par-dessus bord. La scène n’a d’autre but que de faire référence à Halloween, film d’horreur culte des années 80 puisqu’aucune explication supplémentaire n’est donnée par la suite.
Si la créature n’a que quelques secondes à l’écran, en coulisses il a fallu des heures de préparation à l’actrice V Nixie pour se transformer en ce monstre étrange. L’intégralité de son corps était recouvert de prothèses ou de silicone afin de pouvoir créer ce résultat final.
Notons d’ailleurs que l’identité n’est pas officiellement annoncée dans les épisodes, pourtant un indice de taille est donné par les équipes techniques sur Instagram. Ils surnommaient cette création le « Bobby Monster ». Or, Bobby n’est autre que le petit frère de Jingles, mort noyé dans le lac des années auparavant…

Retour en image sur la création de la créature de lac d’AHS 1984 :

Avant le maquillage…

Had a blast with an amazing team! #Repost @mikemekash ・・・ AHS84 incredibly proud of what we were able to accomplish with this makeup which we were lovingly calling “Bobby monster” under such tight time constraints. The incredible Vincent Vandyke @vincentvandykefx designing and creating the prosthetics. My incredible wife Eryn Krueger Mekash for her incredible design input to knowing who to call to make it happen. Our patient creature actor V Nixie @vnixie who is obviously talented but also a pleasure to work with. Also the help of the generous @hoops511 for lending us some Chest and back molds this would not have been possible. Christina Patterson @eyeinkfx wonderful lens painting as always. Applied with my long time friend Kevin Wasner @wasnerkevin who I’m so thankful made himself available. I couldn’t think of anyone with whom I rather have applied this with. Always enjoy working with you. Hope you enjoy our obvious Homage scene to the great Friday the 13th films. Also thanks to our stunt performer kevin for also allowing us to apply this to him (not pictured). Additional help Carliegh Herbert. And our lens tech Whitney. And now back to your regular scheduled programming. #ahs84 #campredwood #makeulartist #prostheticmakeup #Bobbymonster
