美国特效化妆师格里高利·尼克特洛的死亡之手

如果你是一个恐怖电影迷，那么下面几部作品你一定看过不少，食人鱼3D、珍妮弗的、死神来了4、迷雾、恐怖星球、人皮客栈、行尸走肉、行尸之惧，每一部中都有着各种冲击视觉的画面，相比于上世纪年代的B级片、血浆片来说，21世纪的恐怖片随着化妆技术和CG技术的发展，在视觉呈现效果上也得到了超速的发展，不过对于粉丝来说，不少人还是喜欢特效化妆带来的真实感。而来自美国的特效化妆师格里高利·尼克特洛（Greg Nicotero）就是行业内的佼佼者，他也负责了上述那些作品的特效化妆。

1963年3月15日，格里高利·尼克特洛出生于宾夕法尼亚州匹兹堡，年轻时在看过电影《大白鲨》和《活死人黎明》后受到启发，他对能将这些将幻想中的事物制作出来而感到无比惊讶，也正是因为这个契机，他开始学习特效化妆，跟随的老师是当时好莱坞著名的特效化妆大师Tom Savini。

1985年由George A.Romero执导的电影《Day of the Dead》成为格里高利·尼克特洛的出道作品，当时他跟随自己的师父Tom Savini负责电影的特效化妆部分。从此也拉开了这位好莱坞传奇特效化妆师的职业生涯。1988年，他与Robert Kurtzman还有Howard Berger三人一起组建了KNB EFX Group特效工作室，至今这个工作室已经为400多部影视作品制作过特效与后期。
