Margaret Qualley’s monster makeup in The Substance (2024) trapped her tears and mucus against her face, and recording the creature’s voice involved a dental device that stopped her lips from closing properly.
The device also restricted her tongue’s movement, helping recreate the difficulty of speaking inside the monster costume. Microphones placed inside her ears captured the unsettling internal sounds of her performance.
On set, applying her prosthetics took roughly five hours. The costume left her relying on one exposed eye and ear, while holding her head and neck at an uncomfortable angle.
When emotional scenes made her cry, tears and mucus pooled beneath the glued-on face. The crew would try to secure it with more adhesive, and removing everything afterward took another 90 minutes.
She described the suit as a “torture chamber” and said she experienced panic attacks inside it.
Separately, the facial prosthetics caused acne so severe that certain shots avoided her face. Qualley said her skin took roughly a year to recover.
I saw Wildwood over the weekend and it is absolutely enchanting. Truly one of the great fantasy adventure movies of our time. I’m blown away by the technical achievements of the film. Please, if you’re able, try to see it on the big screen so we might get even more Laika movies.
Do you like strange horror movies? Here’s a few movies I really enjoy but don’t often recommend because their intended audiences seem slim. Maybe you’ll find something that floats your boat here:
Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma
Rumors
Rubber
You Won’t Be Alone
As I do every year around this time, I’m trying to watch a bunch of horror movies that I’ve never seen before. Please hit me with your recommendations and I promise to check them out.
I don’t normally make music recommendations for the Halloween season, but if you’re looking for a fun album full of macabre themes, you should check out Avatar’s “Don’t Go In The Forest.”
It’s the beginning of October so I want to offer recommendations for a few horror movies that are slightly off the beaten path. I might write a little about each one later on, but for now here’s the films:
1. From Beyond
2. Dolly
3. The Last Video Store
4. Rubber
I don't normally complain about the Secret Lair stuff because the check-out system is usually fine. However, I think the Zeta Set release today was a catastrophe. The 1.5 hour down-time & then the product selling out immediately after felt very disrespectful to customers' time.
It’s interesting to see WotC respond to the fumbled product launch. It’s nice that they acknowledged that they made a mistake, but beyond that the article says a whole bunch of nothing. Hopefully they follow through on making things right with customers. xitter.gq/MTGSecretLair/status/2…

This feels like a satisfying resolution to this particular issue. It would be nice if WotC could do more to compensate those that spent hours in line, but this is fine. Big picture, I wish this addressed how they will handle these releases in the future. xitter.gq/MTGSecretLair/status/2…

WHAT SONG IS THIS?????
This clip is from the 'Vacation' episode of Sealab 2021. I once heard the song (without the "uh-ohs") while I was in a @kroger grocery store. It also appears in a @tacobell commercial.
Please, I've been trying to find it for years. youtu.be/wfcQreCtvO4
It seems such a cruel joke that I should be cursed with both male pattern baldness AND a plethora of nose hairs.
