If you haven't heard of this web series yet, then you don't know what you're missing. But series 3 of "Blood and Guts", hosted by legendary guitarist Scott Ian from Anthrax, has just hit the 'Nerdist' channel on YouTube.
Scott, a longtime horror aficionado, gives viewers a behind-the-scenes look at how
some of the all-time greatest practical effects artists create the gore and
monsters that genre fans love.
The series differs from typical behind-the-scenes
shows due to Ian's infectious excitement and curiosity, coupled with the clever
ways the effects are integrated into each episode. Ian is often the one in the
makeup chair, experiencing squibs, gore appliances and complex character makeups
with rare enthusiasm.
Previous guests on the show included the likes of 7-time Academy Award winner
Rick Baker, The Walking Dead's Greg Nicotero and frequent Guillermo Del
Toro collaborators Spectral Motion. Season 3 of Blood and Guts ups the
ante with an original creature created by Joel Harlow exclusively for the
series, unprecedented behind-the-scenes access to the creation of Universal's
Halloween Horror Nights and an episode with Tony Gardner that includes a
surprise visit from a legendary horror character, reprised by the original
actor.
