We did the gore gags mostly. Were on set for the entire month of principal photography. Stationed inside a huge walk in tent with space heaters. Froze our asses off. Nikki magGot and Kristian Hickman were part of the on set magGot crew. Steve Vadney created some amazing props for the film, though he couldn't be on set. There were a bunch of fx teams on the film. I think three in total. Of all the films I've worked on, I had the least involvement on this one (including Nikki and Kristian). We got to eat lots of food, fall over laughing through lots of sleep dep and throw a few fun gorey moments... stabbing's, eye gougings, dismemberments...etc...
Got to sculpt a neat puppet/costume siamese twin creature while on set. Hands were purple from sculpting in the wintery set. Clay gets really hard when cold, it wasn't an easy sculpt...heh...it was for a Halloween/mask making company. They discontinued selling my creature, it was a weird sell amongst the rest of their collection. Hope to get the molds and release it through magGot in the future.

We'd wanted to collaborate more, so we created the were bunny for the film. He created most of it, I sculpted and made the hands. We kicked that thing out in a crazy three days. On the third day, the film crew arrived and we all crammed in to puppeteer the thing. Was hilarious.
Here we are puppeteering this thing...
