Interview and feature by Mark Jurinko.
I recently had the opportunity to interview Los Angeles-based practical FX and make-up artist Shaun Smith and Chinese production designer Daniel Fu Dong about the upcoming Hong Kong action/fantasy film The Monkey King 2, which is directed by Soi Cheang. The movie is filled with a plethora of elaborate makeup designs, and Famous Monsters wanted to speak with a few of the gentlemen responsible for bringing these characters to life.
Famous Monsters. Daniel, can you tell us about how you came to start working on this project?
Daniel Fu Dong. I also worked on The Monkey King 1 as production designer. Soi, the director, and myself have a mutual vision for the continuity of the project. We are also both willing to create another vision that is way more grounded compared to Mk 1. As you know, in Mk 1, there are a lot of flying immortals...

In early 2011, Rich Teachout quit his lucrative job to focus on creating a one-of-a-kind haunted attraction. He and his partner Janel dedicated every moment, ounce of energy, and dollar to making their "Scream Park" a reality. "Monsters Wanted" is the story of their self-proclaimed madness and the industry, culture, and people who share it.
We followed Rich and Janel's efforts from the first day of building beyond the last day of the season. The result is a one-of-a-kind peek into an industry known for its macabre antics and well guarded secrets.
Monsters Wanted: There's nothing more terrifying than following your dreams.
I'm so excited to share this interview with Brian Cunningham, Brian wrote and directed Monsters Wanted with Joe Laughrey. Have you ever wondered what goes on behind the screams, I mean scenes, at haunted attractions? Well look no further. Brian and Joe take...

Louisville, Kentucky, is a city that loves its scary stuff. Its annual Zombie Attack, the world’s largest zombie parade and block party, is happening this Thursday, August 29th. The city hosts several competing participatory theatrical events for the Halloween season, including Asylum Haunted Scream Park, home to multiple attractions, this year featuring the intriguingly entitled “Zombie City: Mutation” and “Darkness Falls,” indoor and outdoor “haunted house” scenarios; “Xterminate: Zalien Attack,” an interactive live-action first-person shooter; and “Carnivale of Lost Souls,” a carnival complete with old-fashioned sideshow freaks and geeks. This is only the third year for Asylum: at this point in the late summer of 2011, business and life partners Rich Teachout...
