Tom Savini

Highest Rated: 100% Spooktacular! (2023)

Lowest Rated: 0% Lost Boys: The Tribe (2008)

Birthday: Nov 3, 1946

Birthday:

Birthplace: Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA

Served as a combat photographer in Vietnam where the real-life horrors he encountered doubtlessly influenced his subsequent astoundingly graphic depictions of on-screen violence. Savini's gory stomach-churning special makeup effects have been the major draw for many otherwise undistinguished horror films. His great moments in movie mayhem include a unwary camper receiving an arrow in his eye, a stumbling zombie getting the top of his head neatly sliced off by a whirling helicopter rotor, and legions of cockroaches bursting from the chest and mouth of a corpse.
