About this listen

Join Andrew Buckley for a conversation with Special Effects Makeup Artist Lanny Brown, whose work spans projects like Lucifer, Knight Terror, and Alien Earth. From a small-town Ontario childhood fuelled by curiosity, imagination, and a love of horror, Lanny carved a path into the film industry.

In this episode, Lanny breaks down the real difference between special effects and special makeup effects (spoiler alert, it’s ‘dirt, blood, and glue’), how indie projects help shape better artists, and why relationships matter as much as raw talent in the film world. Along the way, he opens up about authenticity, creative resilience, and what it means to build a career out of making the unreal feel disturbingly real.

If you’re fascinated by film, practical effects, or the strange alchemy where fear turns into art, this episode will be worth your time.
