I looked for that and found it before you mentioned it. Only a fucked
up fx guy would forget the "forehead-hole-reveal," whereby you paint a
"hole" on the model's head, cover it with fake flesh, and then whip it
away at the proper moment via teeny wires. It's not quite as
complicated an effect as the Balrog in LORD OF THE RINGS, but if it's
for a movie like THE GODFATHER II or an fx guy's demo, it can be done
damned realistically. OR, nowadays, you could just use a home video
compositing program like COMMOTION to hand-paint it on the frames,
Photoshop-wise.

Do you have any clips from the alien autopsy film? I've never seen that
one either.

Look man, I don't even believe that GEORGE W. BUSH is real. I believe
"Bob" is real, but that's only because I've seen how hard it's been for
the greatest among us, EVEN YOU, to make a decent fake "Bob". The Lord
Antichrist knows we've TRIED.

Real as in what?

Real in that you *think* you're feeling a "hand" when
he grabs you for what looks like a disgusting french
kiss, instead shoving his slimy, barbed, suction-cup
appendage down your trachea to lay his eggs in your
lungs?

Real as when he looks at you OVER YOUR DAMN TV SET
and you feel your chest start to pound as the blood
trickles out your nose and the rib cage bone and
cartilage tear apart violently, your heart leaping
from your abdomen to go flying *through* the television
screen?

Real as when you wake up in a dark dungeon, tied to a
makeshift plywood pillory, and an obviously excited
President of the United States, wearing little more
than a crotchless scuba suit and carrying a bullwhip
looks over at you, smiles, and says, "Ah! You're awake!"
