Sleepaway Camp

Effects Workshop

Here you will get a look at some of the stunning creations that FX-Master Ed French created for SLEEPAWAY CAMP. Ed has worked in the make-up/special effects business for over 2 decades now. And as a matter of fact, SLEEPAWAY CAMP was one of his first serious gigs! His brutally realistic and well-detailed props helped create some of the most unforgettable death sequences in cinema history.

Over the years, Ed has done work on a variety of films such as the cult horror/comedy DEADTIME STORIES (1985) and the mega-blockbuster: TERMINATOR 2: JUDGEMENT DAY. Ed was also nominated for an Oscar for his incredible effects work on the film: STAR TREK VI.

Special thanks to Valerie from France and Stephen Ryan for their contributions to this gallery.
