With enough prosthesis, no one’s gonna notice.

Jeffrey Dorne comes to mind.

Worked for Robert Downey Jr. and the MCU. Lol

Horror fans don't give that much of a shit about continuity. I mean, look at Halloween, Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday the 13th .etc .etc

They're there for the shock value, the tropes, looking at all the ways people die or get disgusted. If you don't have a comprehensible story that revolves around that, then they won't care.

I stopped after no. 2. Is there any reason to continue beyond that?

[–] MoreZombies@quokk.au 6 points 1 day ago

avoiding spoilers, the third movie continues on from and is linked at least to the ending of the second movie, so it is connected. The fourth to me is a good stopping point - Tropey space horror that I feel concludes the main story while leaving it open (for better or worse) for other movies..

I didn't know there was more than one movie.

Awesome! Pretty sure by number six it was just a sad cash grab… I’m surprised anyone in production had a spare fuck left.

Not really hating, for years me and my friends watched as many of these as we could get our hands on. The first one was absolutely fantastic and terrifying —nightmares for weeks. Clive Barker‘s mind is a place I never wanna visit!

Even had a super fan with us one year that had deep background narration for the initial few scenes of opening the puzzle box.

Good shit 💩 [Grinning poo emoji! —Thanks Japan ;-)]

Wouldn't it be for flashback or ghost scenes?

He wouldn't need to audition for that, they would contact his agent.
