Special Effects Make-up and Props

Award winning practical FX studio in Hamilton, Ontario. Specializing in custom horror and creature make-up FX and props for film productions, both INDIE and IATSE.

Special Effects are our passion, and we know we’re not the only ones. Many filmmakers know that their viewers won’t settle for anything less than gut wrenching practical special effects make-up and props. Others want to get the best of both worlds by combining practical with digital FX.
We love pushing the boundaries of your imagination and making on screen magic happen for shorts, feature films and commercials. Whether it’s horror effects, mutations or anatomically correct trauma injuries, original creatures or realistic prop replicas, or blood FX of any kind, we can help you out.
Our artists are professional and mindful of what you want, what works for your shot and what is safe and comfortable for your actors. Our team is small, so you’ll always have a personal connection with your FX team.

Locked in the Cellar has made a movie!! The short film “Dungeon of Death” is based on our interactive photo op with the same name. It is a horror comedy written and produced by our own Desirée Van De Laar and directed by Brian Rowe. Aside from a shitload of toe curling FX, it also has engaging characters and a surprising story.
