The Scream Machine

highlight someone who has made a difference at The Scream Machine. This week, we’re shining the spotlight on our Makeup Team! They are our artisans of the macabre, the ones who transform our Scream Team into the stuff of your nightmares night after night. Without their airbrushes, palettes and vision, our monsters wouldn’t feel half as terrifying or real. The work they do is nothing short of witchcraft, especially on nights where they are operating with a skeleton crew of just one or two artists. They somehow conjure up looks for nearly 40 Scream Team members before the doors open. But beyond the technical skill, they are the heartbeat of our pre-show prep. They are our cheerleaders, helping set the stage and getting us pumped before we head into the dark. Most importantly, they serve as our emotional anchors. The Makeup team are our constant sounding boards, providing the reassurance we need when our crew is feeling overwhelmed or insecure about our performance. They provide the inspiration to be the gnarliest monsters we can be. Their skill impresses us, the way they strip the human forms from our Scream Team and unleash their inner monsters so they can truly embody the terror that makes The Machine what it is. We thank our Makeup Team for their endurance, their artistry and the incredible heart they pour into every single one of us. Thank you for keeping us sharp, fueling the fires that drive our imaginations. Most importantly thank you for making our Scream Team so…NASTY!!!
