Here's a pic of me in costume in my scene. My makeup varied by night and artist. Apologies for the quality as I took this pic off of The Bates' 20th anniversary DVD (what a kick ass DVD it is and scream out to the Bates for my copy!)

If anyone wants to check out some amazing photographs of this year, take a look at the link. Really beautiful photography done by Tom Sperduto.

I don't appear in any of the pics, but images 8 and 14 were part of my scene in the Slaughter House.

Wow! I must say, I'm jealous. This looked incredible! Your scene's interesting. What purpose did the wood and chain thing serve?

Thanks, DC.

My scene was actually a four room shack in the corn maze - called The Slaughter House, you enter the first room which was a coat room/foyer kind of thing (complete with photos of missing persons on the wall, old bloody coats, and a bloody shotgun blast through the wall.....) then turn immediately into a living room with a couch (and a pop out corpse), then immediately into the bedroom in the photos.

In that third room was the bed with the skeleton, my co-star actress who was a living dead girl with her teddy bear, and that wood and chain thing. It was a motion activated monster under the floor -as soon as the customers would cross the doorway into the bedroom, it would activate the trap door. It would shake up and down as if someone - or something - was trying to escape from under the floor. We came up with the lines that it was either other customers trying to get out, or it was Grandma, and she was hungry for more flesh.

From there the customers were forced into my kitchen. :0)

Would have been great to see it all in person, JT! Every makeup shot you posted on Facebook was fantastically gruesome, and I can believe you put heart and soul into the acting.
