One of the all time legends of screen make-up and practical special effects. Perhaps best known for his involvement in George Romero's "Dead trilogy" (specifically Dawn of the Dead & Day of the Dead) as well as directing the 1990 remake of Night of the Living Dead. He also worked on a great many other titles, both in special effects and make-up (and occasionally stunt work) from 1974 onwards, as well as appearing (usually as a cameo) in many movies (39 as of August 2009). He has acquired a significant cult following, mainly among fans of of fantasy/horror genre films of the 1980/90's.
He apparently gained a realisation of the potential gruesomeness of injury to the human body during his role as a combat photographer in the US Army during the Vietnam War, which undoubtedly contributed to his later success/notoriety. He was also greatly influenced, in his childhood, by silent movie actor Lon Chaney, specifically the make-up effects who's application he was best known for.
