Background

Shostrom grew up in Hong Kong during the 1970s. He became interested in makeup after seeing The Bride of Frankenstein (1935).

He is the winner of three Emmy Awards (out of four nominations)[1] and has been nominated for four Saturn Awards by the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Films.[2] Shostrom designed and created special makeup effects for numerous cult horror films of the 1980s and 1990s, in particular the film series and sequels of A Nightmare on Elm Street, Phantasm and Evil Dead II.[3] He also contributed special makeup effects to music videos for "Pet Sematary" The Ramones and Nine Inch Nails.
