I've been sitting here thinking about the practical effects used in The Thing, and it has made me a little annoyed at how CGI has taken over the world of horror.

I'm not saying it's a bad thing, but I miss when it wasn't relied on. There's something charming about practical horror effects.

All shot practically using cotton wool, figures & miniature sets & some debris I had to throw into the shot.

One year ago today I posted this miniature Last Crusade photo I created using real figures, practical effects, lighting & miniature sets.

The fire is real & made from cotton wool which is lit with an orange light.
