Grande Illusions: A Learn-By-Example Guide to the Art and Technique of Special Make-Up Effects from the Films of Tom Sav by Tom Savini
Tom Savini was the god of zombie and splatter films in the 70's-80's, so anyone involved in special effects make-up worshipped him, including a teenage me. This book gives a rundown of Savini's early work, which included the early days of George Romero's career. Savini shows what a little imagination and some plastic tubing can do for you.
