I did know this existed. Funny and I did this stuff for over 30 years. everything from Spock's ears to Ghost busters.
Although most of my work these days is CGI and model work-film making I do still take the occasional flash back in the old art.
I did these in late 2010.
I did this one too. Both favorite subjects for me. Especially the Sixth finger because I worked and was friends with both John Chambers and Fred Philips.
Great to see this section here!
Good move Art!

I am a proud owner of a couple of your Spock ear pulls Steve, its great when you post here.
Thanks Paul. To see more of the effect work I have done for you younger guys that may never have heard of me go here: sneillfx.com
Here's another picture you might recognize. The guy behind her with his hand in her face is me. I did other stuff on the film beside the hand gag. Was even in the terror dog suit a couple of times and puppeteered him as well.
Steve
Here's a picture you don't wee much it's the sculpt I did for the hand I'm wearing.
Hey I'm glad you are enjoying those ears!
steve
And here's another rare one. I did all of Chris's prosthetics in Fright Night except for the last stage. This is the sculpt of the hand pieces for the pencil gag I did. I keep finding this stuff and have a bunch more somewhere.
I loved Fright Night, very cool movie. Thanks for posting these.
What a awesome job !! Thanks for sharing ! This is a museum of art !

Awesome as always Steve.
Also a proud owner of some Ears.
Funny thing is the wearable ones most people don't bat an eye when I have them on!
Holy moly. That is film history right there, very cool.
Thanks guys. Hey they won't the can barely see the stop signs or your rear bumper for the texting and smart phone.

Here's one I think some of you older guys will know. I did a lot of Gorilla work in my suits. Rick Baker was kind enough to recommend me to many such jobs.
Lets see how many of you know what this is from. BTW this shoot nearly killed me. it was 105 on the sound stage when we shot. It was before cool suits. The AC broke down on the stage of course.
Steve
I remember it but not the company VW?
Loved the 70's Mons!
Ah thanks but this one is 80's. Come on now. I'll give you the date. 84. Some one must know.
Steve
Is that from the Transamerica commercial? I think I remember seeing it as a teenager, unless my memory is playing tricks. Great thread, love seeing your original work up close.
The only film I can think of is "King Kong Lives" but that was '86. Other than that I have no idea what that still could be from.
We have a winner!!
Just googled it and watched it like it was the first time!

Also I think that video isn't the original but a re-cut. Got a link?

Wow! Just when I think I've visited your most awesome threads, you bring up this gem. It's good to see you survived having to muzzle Ripley with your hand XD
She is a sweetie and easy to work with. thanks!
