On Sunday July 30, Midsummer Scream proudly presents a timely discussion in the Terrace Theater with well-known creature makers who are respected in their fields, from theme parks to the silver screen. Jeff Tucker of 91 Reasons Podcast will be joined on stage by creature designer and filmmaker Kirk R. Thatcher; Erich Grey Litoff, Co-Founder of the Stan Winston School of Character Arts; legendary animatronics designer/builder Garner Holt of Garner Holt Productions; and John Criswell, Animatronic Supervisor at Jim Henson’s Creature Shop.
