First, Fitz applied makeup to zombie pinup girl Kirst Callahan. With all the infected headed to hospitals during a zombie takeover, nurses would be the first to go!
Then, Keith hopped into the makeup chair. Fitz started him with a base layer of pallid gray makeup. Zombies need to do some tanning! A little sun can really pull you out of the doldrums.
Fitz layered on some pieces of tissue paper, shaped them like a gaping head wound and then applied the gooey blood substitute. Or was it really blood? SPOOOOOOOOKY!
For a finishing touch, a little black food coloring in the mouth to simulate the saliva of one on a strictly flesh-based diet. Hey, what happens to vegan zombies, anyway?
And there’s the total package: Keith’s a full-fledged zombie! One can only imagine what happened to the poor unfortunate soul that took this picture – we assume he was devoured shortly thereafter. Have you seen this maniac on the loose in Concord? Board up your windows and lock your doors!
Red River Theatres hosted F/X artist Robert Fitz for a night of makeup and fun. He turned intrepid reporter Keith Testa into a bloodthirsty brainmonger of a zombie! Watch out, Concord – he bites!
