@@hunterbrigham2900 Probably different environments. In this video he's at his school and then his home. Places he visits often/lives are bound to make him more relaxed. A place like comicon can be stressful. Not every fan is gonna be respectful and calm. Some will be erratic, embarrassing, or downright rude. On top of it just being an exhausting event, I can understand someone getting a bit nasty. Not saying he was in the right but it's understandable and could be an outlier and not his actual personality.
About twenty five years ago, I was so interested in FX makeup I tracked down Tom Savini's phone number and called his studio to inquire about how to get into it. I don't think he had a school back then and he was so kind to take time out of his busy schedule to speak to some dumb confused twenty something about possibly completely changing his life. He spoke to me for at least half an hour and helped me realize that as much as I loved FX makeup, I probably didn't love it enough to make a life out of it. I will always appreciate the man's kindness and patience for a fan.
agreed man!!!! I wouldn't mind meeting Savini as well and shaking his hand for making some pretty awesome makeup effects and directing horror movies on top of it. also, on a side note, it would be pretty cool if ol' Grimmlifecollective visited Johnstown, Pennsylvania, as I always wanted to see his take on touring an old steel town where over 2,209 people were tragically killed in that catastrophic flood that happened on May 31, 1889
I graduated from this school a few years back and I still see some of my work displayed there! So cool! God I wish I could go back, such an amazing experience!
@bluebloodbc I will as well I still remember when I was 10 which was 20 years ago and seeing him in from dusk till dawn and not even knowing he was a makeup artist.
I love his genuine excitement when he’s showing off his work and his collections. After all these years he hasn’t lost his passion and enthusiasm for his craft. The sign of a true artist. We should all be so lucky to have a job that brings us so much joy. That duck slayer story was incredible. Thank you for the great video!

Tom is a horror icon. I have loved his work for years. He truly makes sure his effects look realistic. I read that his experience in Vietnam and the death around him is why his makeup looks so realistic. Thank you Tom for your service in Vietnam. We love you.
this guy is insane in all the right ways. i wish everyone in movies would love them like he does. even when he talks about his stuff it sounds more like excitement about what he got to do, than actual ego, he seems super humble and down to earth. that school was crazy but the house explains it all.
Tom Savini is an absolute legend. He's been my favorite special effects and makeup artist since I was a kid. What a great school and great video. This was one of my favorite episodes.
He looks great for his age !! Such a legend!!! he's still so young at heart & like a kid in a candy store showing off his work, amazing to see after all these years he's still so passionate about his craft and students and telling his stories I'd be so excited to sit and have him show me his collection ❤
You only see the bad CGI and assume it's all like that. There is so much CGI in the industry that goes completely unnoticed, and it's an invaluable asset to directors, so it's foolish to make sweeping generalisations like that. It's a tool like anything else, and a tool in the wrong hands will make terrible results, just as a tool in the right hands will make wonderful results. There's been plenty of awful practical FX and makeup over the years, so don't make out that it's some sort of infallible medium that never goes wrong or is always superior to CGI.
@@Syklonus I kinda agree with you, but in Today's Hollywood CGI seems to be the go to "tool" studios prefer using even if they can't afford it. So we end up with cartoon-ish effects in a movie or show that doesn't require it. I'd rather see bad practical effects than bad CGI. Even when a studio has the budget for decent effects (practical or CGI) it seems they lean more on bad CGI. For example: The Thing 2011.
Me my opinion Sche prosthetics is real and based in real life. Cgi can take people out of a movie because it’s not there or real. There’s some cgi that’s mixed with prosthetics that can be great
Every interview I seen him in, he is so excited to show his stuff and other people's stuff that he has. Excited to show how he does things, like he has been just waiting for someone to ask.
Gotta say, I was blown away by this episode with the Great Savini! I've been a fan of his since i was 12 years old. He frightened the hell out of me with Dawn of the Dead and continues to do so now. I'm 52 btw. Thanks so much for putting this special episode together Grimm. Keep up the stellar work!
Sadly, he is known for doing a lot of gory horror stuff which certainly isn't for everyones taste. Take Day of the Dead for instance, its a very good film (I've had to watch it more than once to appreciate), & the special effects are simply incredible, but the amount of gore in it is really difficult to watch, which turned off a lot of people at the time. He should at least get a lifetime achievement award though.
He stopped working on films because he has arthritis in his hands. So, now he teaches the new generations of makeup artists. I could see him getting a lifetime achievement award.
Love love love Tom.... I swear I could said I'm listen to this man talk about horror movies all day. Seems like such a genuinely nice guy... not to mention a hell of an artist. I always love to see him pop up at movies too LOL
Tom Savini's only rule is that all girls attending his school must wear Daisy Dukes. But seriously, Tom's ability to remember names of students and colleagues from the past shows how much he really cares. Great guy.
Dang, he is so passionate about his field and not just what he does but of his students and other creators. Even having the actor from pinhead come to the school. You can clearly see this is more then a career but what he really loves. Just so refreshing to see.
He seems just like a chilled neighbour showing you his collections like it’s no big deal. He’s a massive deal and the fact he’s so humble and chilled is amazing to see. I respect him even more now.
The feeling I get from him when he was showing the stuff at his house, was that he was really excited to show his stuff to people who will really appreciate it
He does look great for 72...BTW one of the many proven secrets to slowing down aging is to always be a kid at heart and have a passion for what you do, because most (not all) people hate their jobs and at 52 they look 72.

My grandfather ran a construction company that worked renovations on this school and was friends with the Dean. I got to interview Tom for a paper I did back in high school. Was an honor! He’s a really cool person and a horror legend!
Tom needs to have a youtube channel where he gives lessons on how to do the classic practical effects so the techniques aren't lost and upcoming filmmakers will be able to use them in their films without relying on after effects.
I watched a VHS documentary of and by Tom, because I was already familiar with his work. Tom is a legend. Lon Chaney, Dick Smith, Tom Savini…a Horror Hat Trick
Literally have no words for how amazing this tour and collection was. Simply astounding! Tom Savini is the man! Crazy story about the duck and strange how things work out sometimes I mean getting pulled off duty for an honest mistake only to have an attack the very next day. Rip to all who were lost that day.
Easily the most underrated clip on entire youtube. This is beyond words, once in a lifetime experience. I envy you guys deeply for being able to experience this live
After Note* When I met Tom, he told me that Vietnam Bunker Story. I was just BLOWN AWAY! He is just SO Human and I LOVE that he is SUCH a Fan and Collector like I am! Again, Thank for all you do and have shared with me Tom. :)
Its so awesome watching Tom Savini's excitement in showing him everything. Its like before hes even had a chance to completely check something out, Tom is telling him about the next thing he needs to see. 73 years old and been doin this his whole life and still has the love and excitement for it he probably had 50 years ago. People say he looks really good for his age and they cant believe hes over 70, well this is probably one of the reasons why. When you do something you truly love your entire life, im sure it has a positive effect on your health.
INCREDIBLE! WOW. I've admired Tom Savini for many years, but never imagined I'd get to see him show his work, his collections and tell an amazing true experience. Great guy. Thank you for this!
This is amazing. My dad introduced me to horror through the movie The Man of a 1000 Faces when I was very young. It has been my obsession ever since. I have become a reclusive person in my adult life. Thank you so much Michael and Jessica for taking me on your adventures through this channel. It has brought me more joy than I thought possible.
Dude that Vietnam story had me tearing up no lie. Hes seems like such a down to earth great individual that I'd love to meet and chat with one day. Yall guys are so lucky. Thank you for this great video. Great work guys!
Cool episode! 👍🏻 Tom Savini is such an interesting guy! Enjoyed his story about Vietnam as well. The house tour was amazing. When he stated his age, I was shocked-he looks 15-20 years younger! I think that’s because he is living his dreams. Bravo! 👏🏻
I am HUGE Tom Savini fan! I got to meet and hang out with him at one of the VERY LAST Sci-Fi/Fantasy Cons in Milwaukee Wis. some years back! He and Rick Baker and of course the Late Great "Jack Pierce" have ALWAYS been my MAIN Inspirations for Horror Make-Up and Costumes and Creatures! Tom is SO COOL and we talked about his work in movies. Just SO Valued my time with him! Thanks Tom for Everything! :D
Thank you for including the footage of the two beautiful cats! And for talking about rescuing them. Anyone who has an open heart and home for animals is a good soul, which includes you, your wife, and, Mr. Savini! 💗
He seems like such a genuine, nice guy - and I love how he invests so much back into his school to foster a creative atmosphere for the students. I can’t imagine how cool it would be to go to this school here.
This popped up in my recommended page and I have thoroughly enjoyed the whole VLOG. Tom Savini is a legend and looks pretty damn good for 72 yrs (now 73yrs) you guys hit the jackpot meeting him. Amazing.
Back in 2008 I was one of the first students in Tom's film program. Back then it was called "The Tom Savini's Digital Film Program." I lived in the Dust Till Dawn dorm. It was an experience I will never forget. I remember we were allowed to shoot our short films around the town without getting any hassle from the locals. At night where the school was located (Monessen) it felt like being in the movie Silent Hill because it was a bit scary to venture out, but it was still great to be around some very talented people at the school. I really do miss that place. Thanks for sharing and bringing back some good memories. :)
@@johnnihil1689 I would have loved to meet George Romero before he past away. I am thankful I had the opportunity to be there. Its was a great time to be creative. I discovered a passion for film editing while I was there.
@@anthonykamm1007 are you in the industry now? I've a,ways wondered what the employment/graduate rates were? Does his school help with any kind of employment at all? My friend attended an fx school in Toronto, her class/school lost out on the bid to work on the dawn of the dead remake. But she said it was too hard trying to get a job in that field.
I actually met him at a Cinema Wasteland! He was a very cool guy and I’m attending his school in the fall. I’ve already had a fantastic tour of the place; one of the coolest schools ever!
What an honor to have been given this tour. WOW!!! I'm in awe and huge kudos to Tom Savini for sharing his talent by creating a school. Tom, you are legend. I absolutely love your stories. I will find your book.
What a genuine person. So many movies I love represented... Thank you Tom for allowing Grimmlife into your world and thank you Grimmlife for asking to see it. Just goes to show always ask, worst case they say no. Best case you get a once in a life time opportunity.
When I was too young to even have SEEN his films, I had the VHS tape of HORROR EFFECTS and I loved it. That was my gateway into wanting to make horror films and getting interested in special effects. Thanks for making this! I'm glad he's still doing all this stuff!
That video was incredible. To see the stuff Tom has worked on and what he has in his home was mind blowing. What a fantastic guy to invite you. Many thanks for sharing this with us.
Thank's you so much for this moment and a lot of thank's to "Monsieur" Savini for the time he take to share with all of us that wonderful place and all those memories.
Tom Savini master of Special effects and makeup! Pass on the art Tom! I love practical SE rather than CG. This brings Fangoria magazine to life. 11:57 sick design and sculpting. What a treat Thank You grimlife. SICK!
I think I could listen to Tom Savini talk for hours on end without ever getting bored. He just sounds so genuine and has such fun stories, an awesome collection, and super interesting behind the scenes knowledge. But to be honest, he could be talking about breakfast and I'd still be interested lol
Ive been watching the show on Discovery + and its one of my new favorites!! My boyfriend calls it my “mask show”. Do you all ever go to midsummer scream in Long Beach, CA?
THIS, my friends, is one of the most interesting videos I've seen on TH-cam, ever! Savini was amazing! His duck story gave me goosebumps. I can't wait for his book. You guys were in for a great great with this tour/interview. Great job!
Why u have this eyelid like dp i thought it was my eyelid hair tried to remove it from my mobile screen several times realizing it later that it was your dp.
Tom seems like he’d just give the biggest and best hugs. What an amazing and talented man while still having a sense of humor about himself. :’) PROTECT THIS MAN AT ALL COSTS
Graduates have worked on the following things: "Pretty much everything you watch and enjoy." Edit: in all seriousness, that school is unbelievably cool in design and looks to have a fantastic environment. What an experience to tour it. Thank you for the video.
The webbed face hugger in Tom's movie room is the "Queen Facehugger" used in Alien 3. Unfortunately the scene never made it into the movie but you can see it in the deleted scenes in the Alien Quadrilogy dvd special features release. The idea was to have Ripley impregnated with a queen it would need an Queen Facehugger. But there couldn't have been many of those made so I wonder if Tom's prop was screen used?! Great video and thanks for posting. What a lovely guy.
4yrs ago wow guys this was the vid that i found you with & im back im a massive horror fan & this is in my top 5 from you both.. much 🖤🐦⬛🕸 from Australia
I am Speechless.............Tom Savini has the be the Coolest Man who has ever Lived! .....I just dont even know what to say...Loss for Words. God Bless Tom Savini. Thank you Grimmlifecollective!!
Mind boggling how much stuff he has collected. That place is nightmare fuel. Yet comfortable because I grew up watching most of those films. I’m very thankful for your interview it was awesome!
Rebecca is so happy about this podcast that she makes me happy about it! I saw your art work and it's amazing and how cool is it that you get to go down memory lane in such an awesome way! God bless you 🙏
Again sorry for mass comments but.... This has to be one of the best Tom savini docu I've seen.. What a great upload u secured.. Unique. Well done and once again thankyou.. I loved it. Was bloody brilliant.
For a man considerd to be a icon in his field, I'm amazed at how laid back and incredibly likeable he is.
Tremendous video.
you dont start a school because you don't want to talk to people about it.
@Billy Hill Real shit celebs are fake as fuck.
Tbh he is not as likeable as you would think, he was pretty mean at a comic con

He really just finessed you so that you wouldn't be competitiion

Rey Sierra that’s a good question. What did you do for a living if not FX makeup?
Personal tour of the school was great. But to be invited to his home, just incredible. A down to earth legend ❤

Which ones did you do can you put the time you saw yours and which one it was?
That's wonderful!!!
What I wouldn't give to attend just one class taught by this man
Rebecca youssef ....so cool!....how do you go about scheduling a tour do you have to want to become a student in order to achieve this?
Nice. That's a dream come to life.
Wow! can't believe he invited you two to his house, how awesome and generous is that.
Tom savini is almost 80, his energy is spectacular 🎉🎉🎉
Dude looks 60 max crazy
He looks really good for 110
Tom Savini is just the most down to earth lovely guy ever, thanks for the upload.
He's so soft-spoken.
Long live the ducks.
Great story.
He must have changed since I met him lol
For realls dude so weird seeing him in machete too xD
@@arnieslab
I always hear extremes about Savini. He's either sweet and gentle as a fuzzy kitten or a complete prick.
Aside from being an absolute 'monster maker' genius, it's wonderful to see someone so talented share his craft with others.
Should get a lifetime Oscar for his work in film. Loves his art
Tom is a master of his art and still so laid back and down to earth. What a cool guy.
"your house is nice" this is only the living room :=)
Where's Tom's Lifetime Achievement Oscar? The man has earned his due.
agree
Utterly agree

It's so sad Hollywood going so hard on CGI instead of Prosthetics and latex.
It just seems more realistic and looks better.

Wish movies would use more practical effects nowadays....
Well I guess you can I'll only do so much

Every interview I seen him in, he is so excited to show his stuff and other people's stuff that he has. Excited to show how he does things, like he has been just waiting for someone to ask.
Gotta say, I was blown away by this episode with the Great Savini! I've been a fan of his since i was 12 years old. He frightened the hell out of me with Dawn of the Dead and continues to do so now. I'm 52 btw.
Thanks so much for putting this special episode together Grimm. Keep up the stellar work!
As a learning SFX artist he makes a great prosthetic for make up
I hope Tom Savini lives a long time.. he's a living legend
I call his masks🤚
What a great guy Tom is. Hugely talented and a true gentleman. Legend.
I love how humble Tom is as well as the interviewer and his girlfriend. Wonderful video. Thank you for sharing it.

Back in 2008 I was one of the first students in Tom's film program. Back then it was called "The Tom Savini's Digital Film Program." I lived in the Dust Till Dawn dorm. It was an experience I will never forget. I remember we were allowed to shoot our short films around the town without getting any hassle from the locals. At night where the school was located (Monessen) it felt like being in the movie Silent Hill because it was a bit scary to venture out, but it was still great to be around some very talented people at the school. I really do miss that place. Thanks for sharing and bringing back some good memories. :)
Yeah...that town seems like it would be in a horror movie at tnihjt
I remember one of my instructors at the school was Bill Hinzman who was the first zombie in Night of the Living Dead. R.I.P. :(
I am eternally jealous of you sir
@@johnnihil1689 I would have loved to meet George Romero before he past away. I am thankful I had the opportunity to be there. Its was a great time to be creative. I discovered a passion for film editing while I was there.
@@anthonykamm1007 are you in the industry now? I've a,ways wondered what the employment/graduate rates were? Does his school help with any kind of employment at all? My friend attended an fx school in Toronto, her class/school lost out on the bid to work on the dawn of the dead remake. But she said it was too hard trying to get a job in that field.
I am SOOO Jealous. I wanna hang out with Tom Savini for a day. Thank for the video showing us what it is like!
It’s every bit as amazing as you think it would be. Really happy you enjoyed the video. Thank you for watching...stay tuned and stay scared for more
I love seeing people who are passionate about their art and so incredibly willing and ready to share it. Really enjoyed his stories 🖤
I've watched this 5 times now. Tom is the best ever!! What a dream come true for you
I actually met him at a Cinema Wasteland! He was a very cool guy and I’m attending his school in the fall. I’ve already had a fantastic tour of the place; one of the coolest schools ever!
How was it?
How's school going?
What an honor to have been given this tour. WOW!!! I'm in awe and huge kudos to Tom Savini for sharing his talent by creating a school. Tom, you are legend. I absolutely love your stories. I will find your book.
What a genuine person. So many movies I love represented... Thank you Tom for allowing Grimmlife into your world and thank you Grimmlife for asking to see it. Just goes to show always ask, worst case they say no. Best case you get a once in a life time opportunity.
When I was too young to even have SEEN his films, I had the VHS tape of HORROR EFFECTS and I loved it. That was my gateway into wanting to make horror films and getting interested in special effects. Thanks for making this! I'm glad he's still doing all this stuff!
seems like such a modest and incredible human being , seems very kind and nice .
That video was incredible. To see the stuff Tom has worked on and what he has in his home was mind blowing. What a fantastic guy to invite you.
Many thanks for sharing this with us.
Thank's you so much for this moment and a lot of thank's to "Monsieur" Savini for the time he take to share with all of us that wonderful place and all those memories.
Tom Savini master of Special effects and makeup! Pass on the art Tom! I love practical SE rather than CG. This brings Fangoria magazine to life. 11:57 sick design and sculpting. What a treat Thank You grimlife. SICK!
What a tour! An icon, a great artist with a great passion for the fantastic! What a massive collection!
So much passion. This man is once in a lifetime.
I would 100% watch a series of all of Tom's behind the scenes home movies.
I think I could listen to Tom Savini talk for hours on end without ever getting bored. He just sounds so genuine and has such fun stories, an awesome collection, and super interesting behind the scenes knowledge.
But to be honest, he could be talking about breakfast and I'd still be interested lol
NHK LM Right! The knowledge he has is so impressive 🎃🎃🎃🥰🥰🥰🥰🎃🥰🎃🥰🎃🥰
Still my favourite episode. Tom is way cool. So down to earth.
He got to meet you and the best tour interview. This is history. So nice to meet him through your lens. Incredible, happy Halloween.
I cant believe how humble and amazing Tom Savini is! Wow, I'm dumbfounded how much he is able to open up and show off his creations. Hes amazing!

Legend! Thank you for your service to our country, Mr. Savini. #Vietnamveteran 🇺🇸
His makeup work in the original Friday the 13th is legendary.
THIS, my friends, is one of the most interesting videos I've seen on TH-cam, ever! Savini was amazing! His duck story gave me goosebumps. I can't wait for his book. You guys were in for a great great with this tour/interview. Great job!

Tom seems like he’d just give the biggest and best hugs. What an amazing and talented man while still having a sense of humor about himself. :’) PROTECT THIS MAN AT ALL COSTS
YOU SONSA BITCHES TOOK GEORGE FROM ME, YOU AINT GETTIN TOM!!!!! (Racks shotgun)
I love Knightriders movie. Super cool tour!
thats how a school should look, great work Tom
Graduates have worked on the following things:
"Pretty much everything you watch and enjoy."
Edit: in all seriousness, that school is unbelievably cool in design and looks to have a fantastic environment. What an experience to tour it. Thank you for the video.
That was amazing! Thank you, and thank you to Tom for showing us. Jessica is looking beautiful 🥰 love her hat.
Amazing school and Tom is so friendly and generous with his time and so cool of him to open up his home. Really good video👍
The webbed face hugger in Tom's movie room is the "Queen Facehugger" used in Alien 3. Unfortunately the scene never made it into the movie but you can see it in the deleted scenes in the Alien Quadrilogy dvd special features release. The idea was to have Ripley impregnated with a queen it would need an Queen Facehugger. But there couldn't have been many of those made so I wonder if Tom's prop was screen used?! Great video and thanks for posting. What a lovely guy.
It can be seen in the assembly cut which is what most people prefer, but the idea wasn't explored in the film at all.
I couldn't be more jealous of this man. Glad he seems like he deserves it all. Top man.
4yrs ago wow guys this was the vid that i found you with & im back im a massive horror fan & this is in my top 5 from you both.. much 🖤🐦⬛🕸 from Australia
