[Video] Makeup Effects Legend Rick Baker Celebrated Halloween With Elaborate Neighborhood Show
When you live in Rick Baker’s neighborhood, Halloween is simply the coolest.
One could argue that it was Rick Baker who put special makeup effects on the map as a legitimate and respected artform back in the ’80s. Baker’s effects work in An American Werewolf in London was so good that the Academy created the Best Makeup and Hairstyling award in 1981, honoring Baker with that inaugural award.
Baker would go on to be nominated 11 times in the category, and win 7 times!
Back in 2015, Baker announced his retirement, citing changes in the industry as the reason why. After all, CGI has mostly taken over, putting practical masters out of work.
But despite retiring, Baker has continued his incredible makeup effects work, if only outside of the entertainment industry. For Halloween this year, Baker and his team turned his family into the cast of characters from FX’s “The Strain,“ the family putting on a live stage show for their neighborhood that you have to see.
Rick Baker played the role of Abraham Setrakian, while his daughters terrified the neighbors as a Strigoi and a female version of the show’s Quinlan character.

Xbox owners feeling left out over SFB Games’ throwback Survival Horror title Crow Country coming to Steam and PlayStation? Never fear, as the developer has secured an Xbox Series release via the Microsoft Store, which will launch on May 9th as the other platforms. And to celebrate, Xbox owners also get a new trailer announcing Crow Country coming to the platform alongside the PlayStation 5 and PC.
In this brand new horror inspired by classics from the original PlayStation, Crow Country takes place in the year 1990. It’s been two years since the mysterious disappearance of Edward Crow and the abrupt closure of his theme park, the eponymous Crow Country. You are Mara Forest, and you’re searching for some answers from Crow. You’ll need to venture deep into the abandoned Crow Country theme park and uncover the secrets behind its Crow’s sudden disappearance.
Crow Country will see you immerse yourself in a richly atmospheric, deeply sinister world evocative of late 90s pre-rendered graphics. You’ll need to make every bullet count as you manage limited resources and try to survive against the creatures that stalk the eerily tranquil grounds of the amusement park.
Monsters aren’t your only problem, however. Crow Country hides many secrets behind its locked gates, requiring you to overcome the gauntlet of puzzles and challenges that stand between you and the truth. And for those who want to immerse themselves in the atmosphere without having to battle against the inhabitants of the park, there’s the “Exploration Mode”, which switches off the combat to focus entirely on solving the mystery and exploration.
Crow Country will be available for $19.99 USD. You can also check out the demo on Steam.
