One of the many special makeup effects artists who helped bring “The X-Files” to the screen was Geoff Redknap, who worked as a puppeteer, prosthetic makeup effects artist and special makeup effects artist on 50 episodes throughout the show’s run, including “Sanguinarium,” “Leonard Betts,” “Home,” “The Post-Modern Prometheus,” and “Christmas Carol.”

Back in 1998, Geoff Redknap was part of the team nominated for a Primetime Emmy for their work on “The X-Files,” specifically for the previous year’s “The Post-Modern Prometheus.”

Redknap, whose effects can also be seen in various notable films including Final Destination, Jennifer’s Body, The Cabin in the Woods, Deadpool, The Predator, and Terminator: Dark Fate, was recently a guest on the Danish podcast The Conspiracy Podcast, and in conjunction with that interview, Redknap has shared some of his personal photos taken on the set of “The X-Files” back in the 1990s. The behind the scenes photos give us a closer look at the makeup effects from various episodes, also including “Schizogeny” and “Gethsemane.”

Chatting with The Conspiracy Podcast, Redknap describes his run with “The X-Files” as “a three year rollercoaster ride of working 100 hours a week. But… it was incredibly exciting.”

“I’m the Grim Reaper” – Sam Raimi Teams with ’10 Cloverfield Lane’ Writers on Gory, Funny Webtoon Adaptation

I'm the Grim Reaper

The Wattpad/Webtoons and Grave Weaver-created series “I’m the Grim Reaper” is nearing its 200th episode, and it’s also getting a new TV series adaptation with talented names behind it. Deadline reports that celebrated filmmaker Sam Raimi is teaming up with 10 Cloverfield Lane scribes Josh Campbell & Matt Stuecken on the new series.

The series follows “Scarlet, a young woman who wakes up in the ninth circle of hell with no idea how she got there. Satan offers to send Scarlet back to Earth if she’ll work as his reaper. But it doesn’t take long for Scarlet to realize that Satan’s offer is even worse than she feared.”

The story is said to fit perfectly into “Raimi’s wheelhouse, striking a deft balance between scares, gore and humor.”

Sam Raimi and Zainab Azizi will executive produce the series with Weaver, who’ll also team on the development process. Raimi may be most known for his Spider-Man and Evil Dead movies, but the filmmaker has been busy behind the scenes producing. More recently, Raimi produced this week’s action brawler Boy Kills World and last year’s 65, with Don’t Move on the way.

The “I’m the Grim Reaper” webtoon launched in 2019, delving into the humor and horrors of reaping souls in Hell. That it’s on the cusp of airing its 200th episode means no shortage of story and mythology for Campbell and Stuecken to pull from.

Stay tuned for additional details on this new series as they arrive.
