Nothing is more important to a horror movie than its makeup special effects. Ironically, we live and die by the quality, the craftsmanship, the authenticity and the sheer OMG-ness of how well we re-create the illusion of gore. That’s where this episode begins: we’ve realized that our local makeup special effects team – talented and willing as they are – needs help because we’ve set them up for failure. Dennis wants to be anywhere but the set, Erika doesn’t want to play the role she agreed to play and Sly finally breaks it off with Angie – leaving her an emotional wreck. Then Joel comes for another disruptive visit to Vancouver! And all to make a movie none of us want to make to begin with!
