Interview With Special Effects Guru Robert Kurtzman

Interview With Special Effects Guru Robert Kurtzman

click to enlargeTo be honest, when I first requested this interview I had no clue who Robert Kurtzman was. I do this all the time because I can't know everything or everyone that matters. Then the morning before I was to talk to the guy I started doing research for this interview. I was thrown into panic when I discovered that this man was behind some of my favorite movies of all time! In fact he was the effects guy behind my wife's number one single favorite movie of all time (Army Of Darkness). So in seconds I went from thinking this was just another interview to realizing that this was the biggest interview since our re-launch!  I'm just happy that the interview still turned out great.

Now don't think for a second that this guy is just a prostetic make up guy. Far from it. He is also a director (Deadly Impact, The Rage, Buried Alive, Wishmaster, The Demolitionist), a producer (The Dead Matter, The Rage, My First Mister, From Dusk Till Dawn), a writer (The Rage, From Dusk Till Dawn, The Demolitionist), an actor (Wishmaster, Night of the Creeps), and even a stuntman (Murder by Numbers)!

Hostel: Part III, Boogeyman 3, Living Hell, The Rage, Undead or Alive: A Zombedy, Buried Alive, Once Upon a Time in Mexico, Bad Boys II, Identity, Vampires: Los Muertos, Spy Kids 2: Island of Lost Dreams, Austin Powers in Goldmember, BubbaHo-Tep, Vanilla Sky, Thir13en Ghosts, Ghosts of Mars, Rat Race, The Animal, Spy Kids, My First Mister, Spiders, The Crow: Salvatio, The Green Mile, From Dusk Till Dawn 3: The Hangman's Daughter, House on Haunted Hil, From Dusk Till Dawn 2: Texas Blood Money, The Faculty, A Simple Plan, Very Bad Things, Vampires, Phantoms, Wishmaster, Boogie Nights, Double Tap, Spawn, The Night Flier, DNA, I Scream, From Dusk Till Dawn, Lord of Illusions, Galaxis, In the Mouth of Madness, Vampire in Brooklyn, New Nightmare, Pulp Fiction, Doppelganger, Army of Darkness, The People Under the Stairs, Children of the Night, Misery, Sibling Rivalry, Tales from the Darkside: The Movie, Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3, Bride of Re-Animator, Halloween 5, A Nightmare on Elm Street: The Dream Child, The Horror Show, 976-EVIL, Phantasm II, Evil Dead II, and Night of the Creeps are only part of his work.
