Make-up artists are perhaps among the film and television industry's most unsung heroes. His many accomplishments as actor and stunt man make Tom Savini one of the best-known Hollywood stars you've probably never heard of. He has films like Man of a Thousand Faces, Dawn of the Dead, Creepshow, Friday the 13th, and From Dusk Till Dawn tucked under his belt. Every one of these films, and many more, wouldn't be half as memorable without his magic touch. Friday the 13th went from low-budget horror flick to box-office blockbuster under Savini's sure hand and&endash;monstrous&endash;vision. The 1980 movie put him in demand as one of the film industry's leading men for ghoulish and gory special effects. The terrifying magic and evil-genius illusions he creates for the screen manifested in him at the tender age of 12, where he could be found making imaginatively grotesque faces in the bathroom mirror while the other kids were outside playing football. And occasionally he still gets to be grotesque not only behind the scenes but for an audience, like his role as the biker character Sex Machine in the vampire movie From Dusk Till Dawn.
