the dead: various zombies

La Habitación Cerrada: Óscar del Monte and Nacho Díaz of Plan9FX created a lovely (perhaps not the most appropriate adjective, but you know what I mean) silicon prosthetic makeup on actress Ana Aceña for this movie. Spanish makeup website maquiate.com has a step-by-step feature on the creation of this makeup. If anyone has any images of Ana Aceña without the prosthetics, please email me.

Michael Jackson’s Thriller: Cynthia Garris was one of the zombies in – she revisited the dead as the woman from room 217 in The Shining. Rick Baker was responsible for the makeup.

The Plague Of The Zombies: Before she became Servalan (Blake’s Seven), Jacqueline Pearce did time with Hammer here as a zombie and later as The Reptile. In both cases the makeups by Roy Ashton were pretty bad.
