Halloween Treat #2: Watch Greg Nicotero’s ‘United Monster Talent’ Short
“The Walking Dead”‘s Special FX Make-Up Designer Greg Nicotero unquestionably knows his zombies. One look at the photos of his undead creations for the AMC series is proof enough of that. But Nicotero also knows his werewolves, his mummies and his creatures from the Black Lagoon. Need proof on that count, too? Check out his his short film, “The United Monster Talent Agency,” a faux promo for a fictional Hollywood agency representing monsters from Universal Studios circa 1950s. The short film features guest appearances by Eli Roth (Cabin Fever, Hostel), Dana Gould (“The Simpsons”), Robert Rodriguez (Machete) and “The Walking Dead”‘s own Executive Producer and Director Frank Darabont (who fittingly plays a director). Where else would you see what Frankenstein’s monster and The Invisible Man do when the camera’s aren’t rolling?
