The resident special effects coordinator for Blumhouse Television has worked on 19 of the 22 horror movies in the “Into the Dark” anthology, which was supposed to bow its third season on Hulu this month but has been delayed due to the pandemic, with no new date determined.
Creating casualties for the show isn’t as straightforward as just adding dye or glycerin to simulate blood. Audiences today are savvier and directors are more demanding about getting the look right. Texture as well as color is often involved.
