Robert Kurtzman

Truly.

And I even said that to Bob Kurtzman, to Howard Berger, when we were making the effects, when we were creating the effects with K&B.

It was, look guys, I know we have no money, and we really had no money.

We had two and a half million dollars to make that movie.

You know, he's the B in K&B.

You know, Robert Kurtzman, Greg Nicotero, and, you know, Howard Berger.

K&B.

You know...

It's crazy that it's a franchise.

But our old friend Robert Kurtzman is on the show.

Robert, how are you? Hey,

great.

The panels are great.

You know, Tom Jane was here and, you know, Mick Garris was here and we got to listen to them talk and Robert Kurtzman, the special effects artist who did Gerald's game and, uh, I'm drawing a blank.

Oh, and Dr.

Sleep.

Hi, I'm Robert Kurtzman.

I'm the special effects creator for Black Friday.

And you're listening to the Horror Squad podcast.

You've got fucking...

Robert Kurtzman, Greg Nicotero, Howard Berger, like fucking like all, you know, industry legends in this shit.

And I really, if anything, just love the effects and the way this movie looks.

So that's all to all those guys and Sam Raimi.

I think Robert Rodriguez just was really big into Quentin films and knew, you know, emulated a lot of the style, you know? I think that in, in my opinion, at least.

So this was actually, so it was conceived by Robert Kurtzman, um-

Mm

... who wor- you know, KNB FX Group.

They paid for them in Scary Movie 6.

They cut a check for $20,000 to have the masks made, meaning Robert Kurtzman designed the masks and made them.

But the part of the budget was already offset because Fun World said, we want to own the masks.

Here's $20,000.

And it was $128,000.

It had to be one of the masks.

Robert Kurtzman did a filler mask.

You'll see it in the Henry Winkler thing where it looks a lot different than the other masks.
