It's a reality contest on the Syfy channel (which apparently exists) about people competing to do the best special effects makeup. Kinda like Project Runway if they were making zombies.
I watched 2 seasons in 2 days and basically now I've decided that I want to do this somehow. There are so many complicated, expensive-looking steps on the road to making a finished piece, and the contestants usually have 2 and a half days to make, paint and style their finished looks. One episode in season 3 had the contestants making a new alien to put in the famous Star Wars Cantina scene. They came up with some amazing things.
Another stand out episode happened in Season 2 when the contestants had to add another character to fit in to the magical world of Tim Burton. The characters they bring to life usually have a complex back story and are driven by a set of morals, either for good or for evil. Many of them could probably have their own stand alone movies and could definitely be made into toys.
The ice cream man can't figure out why all the kids run away from his ice cream truck when he pops his head out the window. How much do you love the sprinkles on this mouth and his waffle cone hat?
This gender ambiguous cellist's love has become a cello. He/she must play the cello to keep his/her love alive. It is also slowly transforming into a cello. Don't you just want to be a part of this world so bad!?
Check it out, but clear your schedule because you'll get hooked like I did.
