Overview

The story of how one Pittsburgh boy’s fascination with monsters drove him to the very top of the Hollywood food chain. In 1989, Greg Nicotero, much to his parents’ chagrin, quit medical school and headed for Hollywood to pursue a dream of making monsters. Together with gore masters Howard Berger and Robert Kurtzman, Nicotero went on to create KNB EFX Group, one of the most prolific makeup effects studios in the world. After twenty years as the “go to guy” for the world’s most successful horror/sci-fi films, Greg Nicotero is the first one directors like Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez call.

Viewing Notes

Love looking inside the KNB studios and seeing how they all began. Seeing the rockstar attitude made me smile. I really wish there was a little more going on with the older videos. I want to see more of them just being them in the old days without the talking heads over them. Small complaints, but still fun.
