Fulfilling a boyhood dream of making gore for fun and profit

Inside his shop of horrors, not far from three naked, bloated bodies propped against the wall, Todd Masters proudly displays his latest creation: an impaled head.
For a scene in the upcoming horror flick "Snakes on a Plane," Masters and his colleagues have rigged the silicone head with a giant syringe that will pump a blood-like corn syrup mixture through the ear canal.
**snippity doo-dah**
More recently, growth has been fueled by sci-fi dramas such as "Stargate SG-1" and "Stargate Atlantis," as well as a string of horror movies. Masters currently is creating gory effects for three other feature films, including Warner Bros.' "The Visiting," in which Nicole Kidman stars.

MastersFX, which employs 15 to 50 people depending on the workload, is based in Arleta in the San Fernando Valley. It has a satellite office in Vancouver, Canada, to handle its growing business in that country.
