Today I came across an article that caught my eye (pun intented) on cnet.com about a famous scene from the original 1977 Star Wars where Han Solo shoots Greedo. I’m not really into sci-fi, but I love a great horror flick and was a really big fan of the reality show on the Syfy channel called “Face Off” where a group of prosthetic makeup artists compete against each other to create the best movie monster magic like those found in science fiction and horror films. Needless to say, Greedo with his martian-green bumpy skin and gigantic bulging eyes made me want to reminisce about some other movie creatures with eye-poppin’ appeal.
Here are a few of my favs:
Salem’s Lot (1979)The Fly (1986) The Thing (1984)
Tip for Today: Take care of your eyes and invest in a good pair of polarized and UVA/UVB protective sunglasses so you don’t end up looking like these creatures!
We’d love to hear which movie monster is your favorite! Send us a comment.
